Well, I decided I would start packing a bag. I know it is early but I already had a few things aside that I did not want to get lost. I am a self paying so I have a few things I bring so I do not get charged crazy $ for them at the hospital.

In the bag so far that I had: Pads, Baby's Diapers, Girl Outfit (still do not have Boy one), Irri-Bottle, Net Undies

What things are you planning to bring?

Still to pack are CDs, shower kit, Crocs, coming home outfit, slipper socks, pilates ball w/pump (6' tall so I have the BIG one since most hospitals only have the size smaller), hand lotion, pain relief, pills (prenatals and a few other things I take)

Smiles, LM

Ours talked about those too. Did you just make your own or buy them somewhere?

Please share! I've never heard of such a thing! What are they for?

Food for AFTER the baby too! I think I would have starved to death without granola bars and gatorade (which I craved then and usually can't stand).

Now that I have been in the hospital I feel I can help with this one....

Pillow!!! One for you and one for DP. - Pillow cases you don't mind getting stuff on.
Bag for DP- swim shorts, pjs, bedding for him, change clothes, book or entertainment .... lots of waiting sometimes ect... extra snacks for the support team it can go on for a long time even though I hope it doesn't for all you ladies.
Slippers that are easy to put on and not to hot... for mom and DP
Shampoo/soap

I would pack it now you never know when they will come. Better early then getting caught with your pants down (like I did)
