When did you girls start packing your
hospital bag? I'll be 30 weeks on
Wednesday, and I was thinking maybe I
should start packing it within the next
month.

tell them you wrote a twenty page paper
and you worked really hard and slayed on
it for days and days and it was the best
paper ever. and on your way to school a
huge tornado swept over you and you tried
to hold onto the paper but you couldnt and
the pages flew away in the tornado...and
the whole time you were screaming "noooo!
i worked so hard on this twenty page
report and i would have gotten an A plus
for sure!!!"

Haha, a tornado...in Colorado. Not likely
to happen. Oh well, it's an
easy paper. All I have to write about is
what behaviors of a 3 year old girl my
group observed at the daycare near my
school.

Things are going pretty good. I finally
found a crib and changing table that I
love and a Classic Pooh bedset. Now I just
have to get the money for them. LOL. And
my birthday is on the 7th...21 yay. lol. Other than
that, my manager is still a person and
can't seem to schedule me right. And I
feel soo much more better since I've been
taking iron supplements. I feel like I
have a lot more energy now. How's things
going with you?

Ah I'd die with that heat. Especially
being pregnant, that has got to stink. I
looked at my schedule for next week, and
they have me scheduled twice for 6 hr
shifts. I feel like I'm complaining too
much about an hour difference, but it puts
a lot of strain on me this far into the
game. Good thing I have 10 weeks left.

if your hospital is anything like mine...
you really don't need to worry about it
lol... they gave me a diaperbag already
filled with premade sterile bottles,
diapers, wipes, changing pad two changes
of clothes for the baby and two hats...
plus they gave me a change of clothes and
socks to go home in for myself... the only
thing i really needed to bring was the
camera, and if i had forgotten that i
could have made my fiance' go get on out
of the camera vending machine down the
hall... hope your hospital is like mine,
they rock!...
but i did have a bag all packed up and
ready waiting in the car at about 35 weeks
and then went into labor at about 38
weeks... so good luck to you and hope you
don't go into labor before you pack up!!

A lot of hospitals charge for those
things. Some insurances won't pay for them
and those diaper bags don't come cheap!
I'm glad you had a great hospital
experience!

As far as the hospital bag... you don't
need much of anything in it. Take what you
would take for yourself if you were
spending the night somewhere. Which is
essentially what you are doing. And if you
pack it too early, you won't be able to
wear/use the things you pack for weeks.
You can't pack your toiletries until the
end. It is a good idea to have your baby
bag packed though because you won't need
those things until the baby is here
anyway.

i could be way off b/c i've never had
kids..
but instead of waiting til the end to pack
your toiletries(sp)
you could just buy the travel size...so
you wont have to worry about
having to grab tooth paste and a
toothbrush while you're having
contractions...

Most early labors last a long time. And
you have 15 minutes and more between
contractions - in 15 minutes you can get
your toothbrush packed as well as an
outfit and some socks and a nightgown.
Seldom does birthing a baby happen as fast
as it does in the movies. Like your water
won't break and you'll have to make a mad
dash to the hospital at 80 miles an hour.
Although that would
be nice!
There is usually plenty of time to get a
bag packed and, really, you aren't doing
anything much anyway. It is all a waiting
game. But a lot of people like to be
prepared.

well, i know, personally
i wouldn't want to have to worry about
that
i'd probably be a nervous wreck and not be
able to think straight
that's the only reason i said that...
