Go ahead and pack you bag for the hospital early, that way when the time comes you wont worry that you are forgetting anything. Here is a list of things that you will need for you:

• Nightgown, slippers, socks
• Nursing bra, bra pads maternity underwear
• Camera and extra batteries
• snacks for daddy
• tooth brush, hairbrush, deodorant, shampoo (if you want your own, the hospital will normally provide some)
• Cell phone, charger, an list of the numbers for the people you need to call when your sweet baby is here!! Make sure the hospital you are going to will allow cell phone use.
• a going home outfit. Brings something comfy because it will still feel like you are about 6 months pregnant. I brought my maternity sweatsuit) and flat shoes.

For baby:

• Car seat! If I were you I would go ahead and have it put in your car. If you want to make sure that it is in there correctly go to your local police station and have them install it for you.
• Clothes (newborn size)
• socks
• hat
• receiving blanket

* The hospital should provide you with diapers and wipes.
