What I packed in my Hospital/Diaper Bag

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
   +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,
