This is a tough question if you have never been in the hospital for an overnight stay, especially after giving birth to a baby! Thanks to my Facebook friends, I got a lot of great advice on the topic and here is the list I have come up with:
1. Stuff for the baby: I currently have 3 outfits packed including a little hat and booties. I could not decide which outfit would work best so I brought a few. I also have a swaddler blanket, all in pretty pink colors.
2. 2 pairs of PJ's and one pair of lounge pants with a breastfeeding tank top.
3. A lightweight robe in a nice charcoal grey color.
4. My brand new Ugg moccasins.
5. Two pairs of comfy socks.
6. Undergarments.
7. A pair of yoga pants and another BF tank top along with a long sweater to go home
8. I will be wearing flip flops most likely to the hospital and another long sweater so will have those if I need them
9. A long tunic as a second option to go home (will throw in my leggings if it works out)
10. My ipod fully stocked with a playlist and an iPod speaker
11. My camera and video camera
12. My iPad
13. A few baby books
14. My baby file folder
15. A cool collection of lotions/shampoos in a travel pack made just for new moms that includes an eye pad
16. A small hair dryer, brush
17. More toiletries like toothbrush, etc.
18. A birthing ball
19. Baby seat in the car
20. Some clothes for Tim
21. A few DVD's
22. Baby book
23. Diaper bag with a few essentials
24. Cell phone and charger
25. Snacks/water
I think this is just about everything!
I will probably end up not using half of this stuff, but I prefer to be safe than sorry!
