For yourself, bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, and a razor. If you're planning on breastfeeding definitely, definitely buy some disposable breastpads because you'll likely leak like crazy. For the baby, I would take a couple options for the coming home outfit. Our son was really long when he was born and didn't fit any newborn clothes so I was glad we had something we originally thought was bigger. A blanket is also a good idea.
It'd be helpful if you knew someone in your area to ask. Our hospital provides all of the diapers, wipes, and anything you need if you circ, and formula if you choose to use it. They also provide the nightgown, underwear, pads, and so on for the mothers.

I was in the hospital from Wednesday to Monday. The only thing I wanted to do by Sunday was shave and feel like a real person.
