I've had a few people request that I share what I have packed in my hospital/diaper bag so I figured I would write up a quick post to share with those of you that are interested.
Diaper Bag (my diaper bag is a HipCub Diaper Bag from Amazon that comes with a changing pad and I love it, great bag for a really good price).
+3 plain white onesies (2 newborn and 1 three month size just in case he's a giant)
+2 cute onesies
+Coming home outfit (will post a picture after the birth)
+1 receiving blanket
+1 SwaddleMe Wrap (my nephew lived in these when he was a newborn)
+2 hats
+2 pairs of mittens
+2 pairs of socks
+1 Burp Cloth (these are the SOFTEST burp cloths ever!)
+2 pacifiers (if you have never heard of them, check out Natursutten Pacifier they are 100% natural rubber and are made specifically for breast fed babies)
+Milk Snob Nursing Cover
+pacifier wipes
+nipple cream
+diaper cream
+regular wipes
+snacks (trail mix, Cliff bars, Fig bars, and homemade protein bars not pictured)
+Vitamin Water Zero Strawberry Lemonade (because I'm obsessed, also not pictured)
+Camera with battery fully charged
Hospital Bag (for Rocco and I)
+Boppy pillow
+Make-up bag (only the essentials: remover wipes, concealer, eyeliner, mascara,chapstick
+Toiletry bag, some items not pictured (toothbrush, toothpaste, contacts, glasses, brush, shampoo/conditioner, mirror, dry shampoo, deodorant, face mist, face moisturizer, body lotion)
+Tucks Medicated Cooling Pads (because....well we all know why)
+ Always Maxi Pads Overnight (again...definitely necessary for the aftermath)
+Dermoplast Spray (not pictured-some hospitals will provide this for you, I am borrowing my sisters because her hospital gave her some to take home)
+Stool softener (also not pictured but very necessary for those first few days after going home)
+2 nursing bras (Medela Nursing Bra)
+PJs (these are SO soft from Victoria's Secret, made sure to get a button top for nursing)
+Nursing robe (this one is from Pink Blush Maternity)
+Post Partum Undies (based on many recommendations I went with these comfy boy shorts that are super soft and in a size larger than my reg size to fit a giant maxi pad)
+Slippers
+Outfit to go home in (my maternity leggings because let's be honest my belly will still look like a hot mess, tank tops, and a cardigan)
+not pictured (change of clothes for Rocco)
I may have over packed just a little, but better to be over prepared than under prepared! Now that we are all packed and ready to go this baby can come any time now!
Until next time,
Cara
