Every pregnancy blog or vlog that I keep up with always has a post about the hospital bag. Like what all they are bringing for themselves and what they're bringing for baby.
So I guess I will hop on the bandwagon and do one too!
I have in my What to Expect (WTE) book, a list of items to bring, but I looked around online and got a list a my birthing class also. So I made my own list. And It's actually not that bad. I decided that I don't want to go out and buy gowns or really use any of my clothes in the hospital because I don't want them to get bled on, or messed up too bad, so I plan on wearing the hospital gowns. Here's what my list looks like so far:
-camera/charger
-phone/charger
-WTE book- just because
-baby book
-bag of toiletries
-HUGE pads
-nursing bra
-nursing tank top
-robe (bought a thinner one especially for this)
-granny panties
-going home outfit
-socks
-flip flops
-hair ties
and there are a few more things, but I'm too lazy to get up and get the original list
And for Finn:
-going home outfit
-receiving blankets (so Ben can take one home to jasper)
-Outfit Aunt Amy got him-"My Auntie is Awesome"
-paci
-car seat-obviously not in the bag, but in the car
-and socks and hat and little mittens so he doesn't scratch his face
I think alot of stuff is just provided for him at the hospital, so he's pretty low maintenance at that point.
So I will be doing a blog where I show pics of the stuff and the suitcase, just in case you all want to see, but mostly because I want to look back and see pics and also see what all was unnecessary. lol
One thing on all the lists was a focal point. It's supposed to be a picture or something that you can focus on during labor, like a picture or whatever. Let me go ahead right now and tell you right now, that a picture is not going to keep my attention. When the instructor at the birthing classes said to bring a focal point, at the exact same time Mom whispered "hot glue gun and ribbon", Ben whispered "crafts" I cracked up so bad. So true though! It keeps my attention! I might just download a game of sudoku or something on my phone. or find a friend to text and keep my mind occupied.
I think I will start my bag tonight as soon as Ben gets home and can reach it in the top of the closet for me haha
