First, I couldn't decide which outfit for her to wear home, so I am bringing 3 different options. I am also packing some sleepers for her to wear in the hospital.
I also thought about bringing a hat and some cute bows for her to wear. And also a head band with some bow options:
Then I am packing some of our newborn cloth diapers to take with us. She will be cloth diapered from the start and her first diaper will be cloth. I am also bringing a wetbag for the dirties to go into.
I also plan to pack some of muslin receiving blankets that we got to use when we leave the hospital. I am finished working at the end of this month, so I plan to install the carseat at that time since I won't be transporting any other children.
I haven't packed my bag yet, but I have gotten some items that I will need:
--travel body wash and loofa
--deoderant
--travel shampoo/conditioner
--pads (I hate the huge hospital pads after the first day)
--make-up removing cloths
--mouthwash (in case labor is long and I need a refresher)
--toothpaste
--Burt's Bee's Milk and Honey lotion (love this stuff!)
I will probably pack my bag when I figure it's time to go to the hospital. I wear most of the stuff that I plan to take and with limited items that still fit at this point, I can't afford to pack away half of my wardrobe. I also plan to take my own pillow because there is nothing worse than a hospital pillow! I still need to load my iPod with my playlist for labor, but I will get to that hopefully this weekend.
I've been having a lot more contractions this week and I probably should have called the doc, but I have an appointment tomorrow, so I am trying to hold out until then. Plus, they always fizzle out at night when I go to bed. We'll see tomorrow if anything is going on.
