Packed And Ready!
PACKED AND READY. Our hospital bags have been sitting at the end of the bed for nearly 3 weeks now in hopes baby boy will get the hint that we are SOOOO ready to meet him! I get so excited and impatient at the end I can barely stand it. Each day feels like a week!!
We’re using the same bags when I went into labor with Navy – StorkSak ! Talk about a well constructed overnight baby bag…they have literally thought through everything you could possibly need as a mom. I’ve packed two — one for baby boy and one for mom and dad. The video takes you through everything you need to know, including a few items I won’t be packing this time around. I’ve included links for everything and you can see the full video LINKED HERE!
Oh, and for a few non-hospital bag related tips– prepare a playlist (one for labor, one for arrival), have your birth plan on hand in case you deliver with a different team or just for reference, snap lots of pics and vids (you’ll be a happy you did later on), don’t forget to bring the carseat, and most importantly DEEP BREATH….YOU’RE ABOUT TO MEET YOUR BABY!

Toiletries And Personal Care
- Toiletries – the key here is travel sizes!
- Nipple Cream for breastfeeding
- Headband, ponytail holders, bobby-pins, and a small brush
Clothes For Me
- A soft robe – so nice to have when it is chilly in the hospital plus they are breastfeeding friendly
- Comfy clothes – bring your favorite baggy sweatpants and anything oversized to leave the hospital in. Loose, comfortable pieces are essential for after labor and make sure you choose dark colors – trust me. I’m bringing a cozy, oversized hoodie, a jumpsuit, and dark loungewear.
- A few pairs of socks – I decided to pack no slip socks instead of bringing house shoes to save room in my bag.
- Nursing tanks – I don’t need to pack any nursing bras because this acts as a tank and bra in one!
- Maternity underwear – SO SEXY. These are a lifesaver and the hospital will have some as well.
Needs For Baby
- Car seat – if you haven’t already, make sure to install your carseat before leaving for the hospital – easy to forget but so important to remember!
- Going home outfit and clothes for baby – be prepared with multiple onesies for your hospital stay
- Gown – this style makes diaper changes much easier
- Bottles and formula even if you plan to nurse. I’m packing HIPP formula, just in case we need it. Quick tip: don’t pack the whole box of formula but instead save room in your bag by taking a photo of the packaging to reference measurements.
-
Breastfeeding pillow – makes figuring out breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding much more comfortable for both mom and baby
- Muslin burp cloths – I’m just bringing two of these, which is plenty
- Pacifiers
- Diapers – the hospital has diapers for you but I’m also bringing the Honest Co. ones we’ll use.
- Swaddles
- Hats, socks and booties
Electronics
- Extra long cell phone charger – you won’t want to be getting up for your phone, so this cord keeps it charging within reach
- Charged iPad – making sure ours is charged BEFORE getting to the hospital this time around 🙂
- Portable bluetooth speaker – you’ll want to have something to playing music in the room as a mood booster and distraction during labor. Definitely helpful to have this charged before going to the hospital as well
Extension cord – any extension cord will do, but I love that this one has USB ports and multiple plugs
“DEEP BREATH…. YOU’RE ABOUT TO MEET YOUR BABY!”
For Labor
- Your birth plan – either print ahead of time or have available to share once at the hospital to reference
- Essential oils – when I had an emergency c-section with Navy my doula handed Mad lavender essential oils so that’s what I was smelling during my surgery. Something I never would have thought to pack on my own but made SUCH a difference during my labor.
- Side note: Mad created a really thoughtful laboring / after birth playlist and a first day of life playlist for once the baby is here. Such a special memory to have with Navy as a newborn, and I’m excited to have one for this labor and delivery too.
Other Necessities
- Water bottles – sooo important to stay hydrated, which I already have a hard time doing. Bring a few so water is always available.
- Snacks – My favorites to have on hand are: KIND bars, Milton’s crackers, gum + sugar free mints (because once you start laboring it is ice chips and gum until baby is here!)
- Change for vending machines – added this to the packing list after NOT having it the first time around. Mad and I never carry cash but if you want a late night snack, coins are a must for hospital vending machines.
- Your favorite book to read during the long hours of labor

I had a terrifying encounter with a dishonest Canadian investment organization a week ago,which left me really upset.After depositing CAD96,700 with this company,I found out that I had been duped.I was in a dire situation when the scam firm vanished with my money,so my early attempts to get my money back were met with difficulty.I started looking for a solution since I felt helpless and thought maybe someone could help me get the money back.At that point,I discovered CYBERETRIEVE.I was sceptical when I first got in touch with them,but their polished demeanor soon gave me hope again.With swift action,CYBERETRIEVE was able to retrieve the entire CAD96,700 that I had originally deposited. Surprisingly,this healing was completed just a week after my initial contact with them.Their actions were quite outstanding in terms of speed and effectiveness.I could see that their knowledge and commitment were essential to fixing my problem.I gained a lot of knowledge about investment and the value of due diligence during the healing process.My viewpoint on internet investing has drastically changed as a result of my involvement with CYBERETRIEVE.I now realize how crucial it is to carefully consider every investment offer before making a financial commitment.Even though it was expensive,this lesson has been very helpful in directing my future financial decisions.In addition to assisting me in getting my stolen money back,CYBERETRIEVE gave me vital knowledge about scams and investing.Their support extended beyond merely retrieving the money;they taught me how to steer clear of those kinds of situations in the future.I wholeheartedly urge anyone who finds themselves in a circumstance like mine to get in touch with CYBERETRIEVE.They gave me a sense of security during a trying period and showed an amazing ability to handle complicated recovery procedures.Their assistance was crucial in helping me get out of my situation and get my money back.I found CYBERETRIEVE to be a comforting and instructive experience.They were really helpful in getting my money back from a dishonest investment company.I really value their professionalism,efficiency,and competence,and I would suggest them to anyone in need of assistance of a similar nature.CYBERETRIEVE is a useful tool if you need to recover money that has been stolen.Their contact info is:

This is for anyone seeking to recover their data or funds lost to scammers on the internet. I sent out $132,000.00 worth of BTC to this broker named E29 Crypto Marketers. My experience was a good business proposal turned sour. l was added to a crypto learning and trading group on Telegram. I thought it was real, unfortunately, they are like other fraudsters found on the internet and online romance apps, I only knew about their fraudulent activities after losing my investment to E-29 marketers. l would have lost all my invested funds to this online scam scheme. with the quick help of these professionals in reclaiming stolen money. I found their reviews on Google, After my research about them, I concluded they were the perfect recovery expert to hire to recover my stolen cryptos. I never regret coming in contact with CENTURY WEB RECOVERY team.
