I feel grimy now b/c showering in the hospital isn't at the top of my list and I'd be content using the cheap soap and other stuff they give me if I do have to stay longer than 24 hours.

I actually have a thing of ink they had given me when I had Jae. I tested it the other day to make sure it wasn't dry, and it still works!

Don't feel grimy! It's just a nice luxury to have your own stuff so that you can feel a bit normal again and most times the nurses wont go out of their way to even give you soap.. they expect you to bring that. Just a heads up hun. It wasnt on my list at all when I had my daughter but it sure is now! lol
