Haha I was paranoid, I had them packed by 34 weeks and kept checking my list to make sure I didn't forget anything. But packing it now is fine......Just in case.

Yea I just picked out what the baby is going to wear coming home-like an hour ago.Lol.. Its pry a smart thing to pack cuz doc. Told me the baby was right in the middle and on down, ppl told me that meant that he's dropping. So after that the doc. Told me that I shouldnt have him for at least 2 more weeks and that I should try to keep him in-he laughed when he said that-it sounds funny-"keep him in for at least 2 more weeks" haha. Im going to be really scared when I go into labor! Lol im starting to get nervous. I just hope I dont go into labor in school. Thanks for ur replys :)

Expectant mother’s hospital checklist

for mother
sleepwear
bathrobe
socks
slippers
maternity underwear
nursing bra
breast pads
change of clothes and comfortable shoes to wear home
toiletries, including toothbrush
hair band, if applicable
lip moisturizer
sanitary napkins
massage oils or lotions
breath mints and snacks
relaxation materials: books, magazines, music
eyeglasses, if applicable
cell phone and list of important phone numbers

for coach
watch with a second hand to time contractions
camera/video camera and film/tape
toiletries, including toothbrush
change of clothes
snacks and reading material
dollar bills or change for vending machines
cell phone/prepaid phone card
list of important phone numbers

for baby
newborn diapers
receiving blankets
newborn clothes
socks or booties
infant hat
infant car seat


this is the list that I found on microsoft.Com when I was looking for a template to make other lists. It is pretty well thought out and so if you just copy and paste the list into a word document or works or whatever word processing format you use, it will be useful.

We packed my wifes, baby's and my bag about 1 month before our due date.
