My preggo brain is really showing today I don't think she will be coming for a while yet but today I had an urge to wash all her stuff and get things together. Problem- I can't for the life of me think what I will need at the hospital. All I can think of is a brush Can't have too messy of hair I guess.
I thought I read about this before but I couldn't find it, so what do you girls suggest? Also, should I pack anything or get anything ready for Tai? He might be staying next door, at our house, or at my mom's an hour away but we probably won't know until Xandria comes.
Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??
Your own nightgown or pjs that have easy access for BFing. A toiletry bag, comfy going home outfit for you and outfit for Xandria, camera or video camera, laptop so you can talk to us, and phone numbers.
I packed lotion and massage oil and stuff, but never used any of it.

Any labor aids you might want.
Calling card if you don't have a cell phone - so you can use your phone number list without incurring high hospital phone rates.
Make sure your clothes are Maternity cloths, as you will probably still be fitting them when you leave.
Blanket for the baby
Carseat installed in car
Film if you don't have a digital camera
Perhaps a book to read in case you have some I'm bored out of my mind time.
Some extra underwear so you don't have to wear those net things they give you to wear with the huge PP sanitary napkins. LOL
Extra socks or slippers to keep your feet warm.
Since you don't know for sure where Tai is going, I would pack a bag for him so it is ready to go with him in a hurry. Other than cloths and diapers - make sure there are a couple toys in it as well - unless all places he may go have plenty of toys.
Boppy is what I was going to suggest too... that was a lifesaver at the hospital.. I also packed a bunch of snacks for DH since they don't feed the husbands too

You could just put this kind of thing in the car and send DH to get them as needed. LOL They actually had boppys at my hospital in the after delivery rooms.
