Ultimate Hospital Packing List

Ready or Not Here They Come!

As the "due date" of baby creeps closer and closer the uncertainties and nerves are endless! I'm not sure why the Doctors even bother with a "due date" because let's face it babies come when they feel like it. Only about 5% of women deliver when they were expecting to! When so much is up in the air from when, and where and when family can coordinate a visit it's nice to have some other things ready to feel a little bit more prepared for the moment your baby decides it's time!

I've scoured tons of packing lists and asked family and friends until I came up with the ultimate hospital packing list for me. I divided it up into two, one bag for baby and one bag for mommy. Here is the list for your hospital baby bag. 

• Hats (I packed two for warmth and one strictly for cuteness factor)
• Headbands (Who knows how much hair she'll have- if any, so it's nice to tip people off it's a girl!)
• 1 Preemie onsie (just in case she's early or super tiny!)
• 2 footed sleepers ( NB size and 0-3M)
• 2 onsies (NB & 0-3M) and matching pants
• 1 Sleeper gown
• 1 zip-up swaddle pod
• 1 blanket
• 2 swaddle blankets
• 1 burp cloth
• 2 pairs of socks
• 1 pair of mittens
• newborn pacifiers
• charged camera w/ memory card
• All packed away in a nifty diaper bag!

Now my baby girl's bag is packed and ready for her arrival!
