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

TRUE LIFE TESTIMONY , THANKS TO JETWEBSHACKERS
I’m forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam. This amount was meant to cover my husband’s urgent hospital bills, and I was deceived by a fraudster posing as Agent David, who promised me a return of $380,940 – but it was all a scam. Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams. They are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Thank you, Jetwebhackers, for your exceptional service and support during a difficult time!"

REACH OUT TO BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE FOR LOST OR STOLEN CRYPT0CURRECY.
Have you ever felt a gut feeling that something just wasn’t right? My name is Elizabeth, and that’s exactly how I felt one evening while I was scrolling through my emails. I’m a recent graduate from Howard University, where I had discovered my passion for cryptocurrency trading. It started with a modest investment that grew significantly, and I was excited to watch my assets balloon to over $700,000. I had been doing everything right—researching trends, following the market, and sharing tips with my friends. But that evening, my instincts kicked in when I received an email that seemed suspicious, claiming it was from my cryptocurrency wallet provider. Despite my initial hesitation, curiosity got the better of me, and I clicked the link. Before I knew it, I had unwittingly entered my login details on a phishing site. Panic set in as I quickly realized I had fallen into a trap. My account was drained within minutes, and I felt a mix of fear and disbelief wash over me. I had worked so hard to build my investment, and now it was all slipping away. In my desperation, I reached out to my roommate, who had faced similar issues in the past. He recommended Blockchain cyber retrieve, a service I had never heard of before but was willing to try in hopes of salvaging my situation. From the moment I contacted them, I felt reassured. Their team was not only professional but genuinely empathetic, understanding the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. Blockchain cyber retrieve quickly got to work, securing my remaining accounts and meticulously tracing the fraudulent transactions. They collaborated with cybersecurity experts to track down the hackers and prevent further loss. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and educated me on how to recognize potential scams, emphasizing the importance of using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication. The recovery took time and patience, but thanks to Blockchain cyber retrieve, I managed to recover a significant portion of my assets. More importantly, I learned invaluable lessons about online security and the necessity of staying vigilant in the digital world. If you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, I can’t recommend Blockchain cyber retrieve. Their dedication, expertise, and compassionate approach turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a manageable recovery. I am forever grateful for their help and can now move forward with renewed confidence, knowing how to better protect my investments. Trust your gut instincts; they can save you from. potential disaster.
