Friday, July 6

prepare before you push

the hospital packing list according to myself.



mama
1) Camera, need i say more.
2) All the "softs" this includes, pillows, socks, blankies, and other cuddly comfort needs (night gowns)
3) extra large panties. you'd be surprised how many packs of ice they fit down there
4) nursing TANK, notice not bra. preferably one tight, one loose
5) nursing boppy, get your baby used to that thing from day one
6) headbands, hair bands, combs and concealer, and toothbrush
 that is all. no need for a full makeover during delivery
7) lotion, back rubbers, anything that pertains to your preferred method of child birth.
personally, i found those things distracting and obnoxious unless i was going all natural, no thanks.
8) snacks for the mama. i might have ate a loaf of chocolate banana bread... seconds after delivering..
9) chargers, laptops, and desired electronics
10) any personal touches to make your hospital stay more homely..
(candles, pictures, music stuffed animals) 

hospitals provide many things, do not panic.

papa
1) YOURSELF.
2) your patience, brain, and flexibility.. or you'll die.
3) some pajamas
4) a pillow from home
5) all electronics for ideal memory making
6) ca$h
7) don't you dare forget that carseat..

the babe
1) soft swaddlers, my favorite are aden and anais found at your fave Target
2) 2 outfits, one with "character" or "color", one neutral. all babes look amazing in white
i'm a very simple person.. i don't do baby gah gah outfits.
3) unscented natural wipes, some hospitals don't carry wipes.

AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT PERTAINS TO YOU!
