Re: Hospital Bag???
I packed toiletries, pj's, nursing bras, underwear, breast pads and maxi pads, socks, flip flops, an outfit to come home in (something comfy). Coming home outfit for the baby (my mom will bring this).
It does seem like a lot, but you will be there for at least a couple of days and want to have your own stuff!

Your welcome. I know the feeling. I feel like pregnancy has taken away some of my memory. It would be nice if I actually packed my bag since I am almost 38 weeks pregnant.
