Re: Am I missing anything? (hospital bag question)
I think you have more than you'll need! They swaddle the babies so good with those striped hospital blankets, you won't need the Swaddle Me. And, I bled after having DD and they gave me scrub pants to wear which were awesome so I think 4 pairs of comfy pants is too much - you won't want them all ruined. There were several other things on the list I wouldn't bring b/c of the germs in the hospital (ie the Boppy and others) If you feel more relaxed having more than you need though, then bring it all!
Good Luck!!
ETA: nevermind about the pants - I saw in your other post that you are having a c-section.

I really needed a sleep mask in the hospital - the lights are always on, my roommate was nursing, etc.
I also brought my own pads - hated the hospital ones after the first day when they are pretty much necessary.
This time I think I'm also going to bring my own pillow.

Have the deodorant, forgot to write that down. I use DH's Blackberry for pictures, that thing takes better pictures than my own camera!

I am definitely bringing Gas x for my scheduled C this time. I had a lot of pain in my arms and shoulders and the hospital had a hard time tracking it down.

That's a good one! I had the same thing last time, maybe I can get DH to stop on the way tomorrow, thanks!
