Hospital Bag Check List!

I have 20 some odd days left before my induction date (July 22, 2013) and like the procrastinator that I am, I have not completely packed my hospital bag. 

Its just a tough decision to tread in unmarked waters (this is my first child). So I have been researching and researching what I could possibly need or want to bring with me to the hospital, all without overloading my bag. 

So here it is. 

FOR THE MAMA

__ ID, insurance card, cash(for the vending machines)

__ Snack (lets face it everyone knows hospital food stinks)

__ Nursing cover ( I plan to breast feed, we will see how that goes!)

__ My own pillow (all my friends say they wish they would have packed it)

__ After Delivery outfit (I packed jogging Capri, a nursing tank, and a zip-up hoodie)

__ Nursing bra(s) 

__ Stretchy bra(s) ( Like a sports bra, cause lets face it, you will want to be comfortable but able to contain the girlies)

__ Undies (I bought brand new cotton undies, in dark color, that way I wont miss them if I have to get rid of them lol)

__ Socks (a few of my friends say non-slip socks, that way if you are walking you wont fall)

__ Outfit to wear home (I'm packing stretchy running shorts, and a t-shirt)

__ Birth Plan( there are two that I found one from the Baby Center and one from Earthmomma both I liked)

FOR THE DADDY

__ Spare change of clothes         __ Deodorant     __ Snacks
__ Tooth Brush                          __ Socks            __ Pop or water

__ Nipple Cream                          __ Prep- H    

__ Medication (prenatal, tums)

FOR THE DIAPER BAG

__ 2-3 Outfit ( who knows what you want to bring them home in, to be on the safe side I would pack Newborn and 0-3)

__ Baby Book ( if you want to get the hand and foot print done right them)

__ Boppy/ Nursing Pillow (with a extra cover, I know I wont be a pro at breastfeeding at first)
