"all my bags are packed, I'm ready to go....."

All ready to go, I finally got the last of my stuff together! If anyone has any suggestions of things I shouldn't forget, let me know!

Me! Don't forget me! I want to be there Joc in the worst way. Know my thoughts are constantly with you and I pray for you lots. Wishing I could be sharing lots of nearby moments with you as you await this big day. I love you so much! Missing you like crazy!
ps - Love the preparedness! Hope this week off has felt really productive.

i remember packing my bag before my daughter Kamryn was born. i packed so much stuff. and you know what i used? one nursing shirt on the 1st day, my toothbrush on the 3rd day, my shampoo and brush on the 4th day...and maybe a snack or too! you always pack with the best intentions, but it really is better safe than sorry!
i brought so much stuff - and didn't use 95% of it! :)
but i think it totally depends on your labour experience & how good you feel after.
i brought stuff like: camera, toothbrush, deoderant, mascara, PADS (!), magazines, snacks, shampoo, lotion, comfy tee-shirts or nursing shirts, sweats (i couldn't wear pants because of my c-section), slippers, hair ties, a brush (those hospital beds can do a number on your hair - i STILL have knots from Kamryn), pens (to fill out the paperwork), a couple of "bringhome" outfits (different sizes...the original one i brought for Kamryn was WAY too small!), your own pillow, lip stuff, ...etc, etc....
but like i said - i think i only used my toothbrush, a hair tie and a pen! :) if you have a c-section you have to use the hospital shampoo because of the incisions - but i highly recommend bringing your own because if you give birth naturally - i think it would make a world of difference to smell pretty and like YOU!! :)
and bring some extra stuff for Jeff too, shirts, toothbrush etc... - especially snacks..that was the main thing Rod needed.
ok, this probably wasn't helpful at all because you're already all packed...
good luck! i'll pray for you guys tonite. blessings!
