What's in my hospital bag

Everybody packs different things in their hospital bags, but the essentials stay the same. Nothing is more exciting than having a baby, and this bag seems to get packed, and repacked over and over. When I had Amelia I threw everything in my hospital bag, and ended up not using half of it. This time I am just taking what I will need based on a quick stay at the hospital, and if I need more stuff then I'll send Paul back to get it (we live 2 minutes drive from the hospital.)


For Ezra
4 vests
4 sleepsuits
2 muslins
3 bibs
1 swaddle
2 mittens
3 socks
3 hats
Going home outfit

Blanket


For Mum
Bikini for birthing pool
2 nursing bras
2 nursing tops
Leggings
Trackie bottoms
Front opening pj top & pj shorts
2 pairs maternity briefs (I've packed girl boxers)
