Also for you:
sanitary pads
makeup ( for pictutes)
comb/brush
shampoo/conditioner
camera
for baby:
car seat
tam
formula (since you are not breast feeding.
The hospital will have formula but I
would assume that you would want your baby
to start off eating the brand that you
choose so that he/she will not have to
switch.)
make sure the going homeoutfit is loose
enough to not irritate the navel string.
Edited to add: you will also need a phone
card or a cell phone so that you can call
family and friends and tell them the good
news.

I was doing it through a magazine before
and it had an artical in it about hospital
bags and was advising women to get two
"brilliant" products one was a $35 lip
balm for the delivery room and the other
was a $55 "refreshing mist spray" I
couldn't believe they were advising women
to waste $75 on stuff that at the time you
really ain't going to give a damm about.
A wet face cloth does the same job during
the hard stuff and dry lips is the last
thing on your mind.
Sorry back to the question - you have
pretty much got it covered, and if you do
forgot anything just ask one of your many
visitors to pick it up for you. But
definately take your own sanitary pads the
hospital ones resemble a loaf of bread!!
