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’ve always taken pride in being an American. Values like hard work, perseverance, and resilience are at the core of who I am. I’ve spent years building my savings through careful investments, and my family counts on me to secure our future. So when I realized that I had accidentally locked myself out of my Bitcoin wallet, which contained nearly $700,000, it felt like my entire world had come crashing down. For someone who values independence and self-reliance, this was the most helpless I’d ever felt. I had always managed to solve problems on my own, but this time, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fix it.
I was devastated. I couldn’t believe that all those years of hard work, sweat, and sacrifice were locked away, possibly lost forever. I tried every trick in the book reinstalling wallet software, searching for lost backup files, and reading endless forums. But nothing worked. I was at the point of accepting defeat, but deep down, I refused to believe it was over.
One evening, while browsing through a Facebook group dedicated to cryptocurrency, I stumbled upon a discussion about recovery services. People were sharing their experiences, and one name kept coming up: DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. The group members had nothing but praise for them. Initially, I was skeptical, as there are so many scammers in the crypto space. But seeing the positive feedback gave me hope, and being a man of action, I decided to reach out.
From the moment I contacted them, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES was nothing short of professional. They didn’t make any unrealistic promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. Instead, they calmly explained the recovery process and assured me that they would do everything in their power to help. Their communication was clear, and they were transparent every step of the way.
To my relief, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES proved to be everything I had hoped for. In just a few days, they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin. I could hardly believe it when I saw my funds restored. It was like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
What impressed me even more was that they took the time to educate me on securing my wallet better, so I wouldn’t face this problem again. Their integrity and dedication reminded me of the core values I hold dear. If you’re in trouble, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES is the team you can trust. They truly represent the professionalism and resilience that make this country great. CONTACT! DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES For assistance with the details below,

I’m one of those few people who invested in the cryptocurrency market and was hoping to make enough profits after my retirement. Unfortunately, I had invested in a platform that was out to steal from me, I lost around $275,000 to this platform excluding the promised profits. I had lost every penny I invested into it including the money I had to borrow from friends. I thought it was all over until I came across a Cryptocurrency recovery expert, jetwebhackers SERVICE, who helped me recover my money from these fake investors. It took jetwebhackers 72 hours to recover my money and I was able to track down these people. I’m truly grateful for their service and I highly recommend them to anyone with the same problem.
