Only 12 weeks remaining until little M is scheduled to arrive! In addition to the at-home preparations, I have prepared a hospital checklist. Being resourceful, I used on-line resources, such as:
Beginner Baby
MS Template
These are not the do-all, end-all checklists, but they will get me started.
I found another useful checklist from Pampers. Now all I need to do is pack the bag! (Comment added on Saturday, 9/20/08)
Question for the moms out there: What did you find useful to pack for the hospital and/or what do you wish you'd had with you during labor and delivery?
Your input is most helpful!
Happy Saturday to all.

Chapstick and some mouth wash. FOR SURE.
I took a couple of regular clothing outfits for me. It is amazing how sick you become of the gown! Also, I took a signable frame and had all the Dr. / nurses sign it for Ella. It still hangs in her room around a newborn picture. They just wrote a note to her - I love that. We just left it out in our room and anyone who came in would sign.
I brought my own nightgowns. It was so nice to get out of the hospital gown and into something of my own. Just make sure if you plan on breasfeeding it is easy to deal with. Definitely bring a bathrobe. They wanted me to get up and walk the hallways to get out of bed and the bathrobe was absolutely necessary for that. If I think of anything else, I will email you! Hope all is well!!!
