So far I have

- some toiletries
- 2 coming home outfits for the baby (not sure what he'll fit into)

I just have a few other stuff to toss in there.

Re: hospital bag

I like to travel light....

cord blood collection kit, a couple PJs, some undies and pads, nursing bras, nursing supplies (pads, lotion...) coming home outfit for Scone and me, boppy, and slippers. I think I'll ask DH to bring shampoo/conditioner/bathgel/moisturizer for me once I'm there.. otherwise, I'll use hospital supplies.


no phone cards or electronics...........

I intend to enjoy the last bit of peace and quiet before I get inundated by relatives and can have 24h baby duty at home.
