re: Hospital Bag

Quoting ♥ crystal ♥:“ I still kinda want my own robe for when guests visit.. I hate my ass hanging out if I have to get up... and its so transparent...”

You can always ask for another gown to put on like a robe. Just a thought!

delivering IS messy business... thats for sure!

Quoting ♥ crystal ♥:“ delivering IS messy business... thats for sure!”

It is afterwards too! LOL!!

i'm sitting in the hospital right now and let's see...
things i used:
socks (got super bloody when i walked to the bathroom)
CHAPSTICK!! (i got burts bees wax)
robe and slippers
hair bands!
shampoo and conditioner (forgot my damn soap)
razor (gotta shave those nasty pits lol)
deodorant (lots of it haha)
premie baby outfit (shower gift i thought i wouldn't need but it fits perfect!)
pacifier (supposedly helps prevent SIDS if you pop it in before they sleep)
baby blanket (needed it for burping)
two blankets from home (it is freezing in my room!)
cell phone charger and laptop (obviously!)
good sence of humor and patience     

Stuff i thought i was going to use but didn't:
clothes for me (after bleeding through four hospital gowns in one night, i didn't want to put any of my pjs on. plus since they are big gowns you don't have any tight waistbands on. added bonus: i have less laundry to do when i get home!) 
books and magazines (if you can calmly read through contractions you are not in labor  )
change for the snack machine (there's juice, ice cream, and apple sauce at the nurses station and they give me as much as i want whenever i want so i was set!)
nursing pads (it takes more than one day to get your milk in apparently  )
my own sanitary pads (the hospital ones are free   so what if they LOOK huge. i promise you will just replace it in an hour or two anyway. might as well use the free ones now and i can save the expensive name brand ones for my PP)

Rebecca- Congrats!   How are you feeling, sweetie? Also some people may want to still pack nursing pads because some people's breast still leak colostrum pretty bad before their milk comes in. Mine did!Anyway, rest whenever you can!

yes, that's true! and thanks for the congratulations! i think i will be feeling fine as soon as my Rx gets picked up   other than that i am just taking a picture of every little thing he does haha!

oh one thing i needed that i didn't bring was a hair dryer!

Rebecca- I hope that you have your drugs by now! hehe! Have fun taking pics! I have taken so many of Zachary that I need an album for each month of his 15 months! I can only imagine how it is gonna be with two little monster men!  

$#b... Thanks for posting what you did and didn't use... you're memory was very fresh when you posted.. so I trust your list
