Today I decided to pack my hospital bag. Even though I have a cesarean scheduled for May 29th, she could decide to turn on her own and I could literally go into labor at any given time. Scarey stuff. The unknown that is, not having another bambino. I really couldn't remember what I brought to the hospital when I had Nicolas, so I looked online and the list I found seemed pretty accurate.
For Mom: bath towel, a few pairs of socks (because my feet are always cold), a robe, going home clothes, bag full of girly things like hair ties and headbands etc. Off to the side you can see my list of last minute items I'll need to grab before the actual day like my camera, kindle, shampoo, makeup, tooth brush and paste, you know things that I'll probably use up until the day of at home.
For baby: This all depends on how long I will be in the hospital because I think with a C-section you have to stay one or maybe two nights longer than if you were to have a natural birth. That being said I packed baby girl 6 (yes I know, pretty extreme) outfits with matching headbands. A pair of newborn size shoes (so adorable). A mini minky blanket from her Auntie. A few more "over-the-top-headbands" just because. Her going home beanie that I may or may not put on her depending on what the weather is like. Same goes for the violet blanket, crochet done by yours truley. I also packed a couple handmade burp cloths that were given to me that are just so precious. Some things I will probably add after my baby shower like some newborn socks or maybe some more headbands to choose from...haha.
