Yeah, right. Last week you were boasting about the “rich guy” you were going to marry in a beach ceremony in Hawaii, and earlier today, you claimed to have only found out on your wedding day that you were having twins, even though you are due in less than a month. Last week, you claimed to be 22 weeks pregnant, and four weeks ago, you were claiming to be 18 and wanting to know about losing your virginity.Stop wasting your time creating some idealized fantasy life and go out there and live a real one.

Diapers Wipes Pacifier Clothes Blankets Bibs Changing pad zip-lock bags7. 2-5 times/wk8. 1/ mo9. 510. size; my husband chose it; it’s an actual tool bag11. many pockets inside & outside, although not designed as a diaper bag; My husband is willing to carry it!12. a little bulkyComments: I have a modular approach to organizing my diaper bag. I have smaller clear bags to keep different things in. When I dig through the bag, it stays pretty neat since stuff are contained in the smaller bags. Also I can see quickly that I’m low on supplies.

The hospital will supply diapers, but if you don’t want to be stuck having to wet dry wipes, bring your own wipes.Make sure you have lotion and chapstick in your toiletry kit. Socks are useful too, because your feet may get cold while you’re laboring, and it’s easier to wash socks than slippers. Burp cloths, a nursing pillow/boppy and a towel from home (in a color other than white) are also handy. Hospital towels suck. Maybe a nice box of kleenex (because again, hospital kleenex sucks). I’m recommending the nursing pillow because they’re handy no matter how you’re feeding your baby.Bring snacks… like cereal bars, crackers, fruit, etc, because sometimes hospital food can be underwhelming. Or bring cash (quarters or $1 bills) and send someone to the vending machines.Don’t forget the car seat.

1. If I ever want to sterilize my bottles I use the dishwasher. Or they have these bags by medela that you can use up to 20 times in the microwave to sterilize. I use them if need something sterilized quickly and don’t have time to put it in the dishwasher. But for the most part I hand wash the bottles in hot soapy water. So you should maybe get the sterilizing bags, a bottle brush, and a bottle drying rack.2. I went to a infant cpr and safety class while I was pregnant and they said nothing on the bed except for a fitted sheet. That is so that the child is not at risk for SIDS. Not even a sleep positioner or anything. But you should get a fitted waterproof mattress pads to protect your mattress. On cold nights you should have a few sleepers to keep your child warm without having to use blankets.3. I would get one pack of cloth diapers for when your child gets diaper rash. Children who use cloth diapers don’t get diaper rash as frequently as those who don’t. 4. I would just get a gift basket…you will find out later what works for your baby so no use in picking out certain things right now. 5. My must haves are:- A bunch of baby gowns…it is so easy to change them with it in the middle of the night!- The swaddleme worked wonders for swaddling my daughter!- Receiving blankets, they serve multiple purposes!- The boppy pillow is awesome for nursing! I didn’t nurse long, but when I did it was great! It’s even good for bottle feeding too!- Breast pads if you are nursing- Plenty of comfortable nursing bras if you plan to nurse…you go through them quick!- Plenty of shirts compatible with nursing if you plan to nurse.- Bottle rack, bottle brush, sterilizing bags.- Of course the sleepers to keep her warm at night- The baby swing is great for calming her down- A TON of bibs, burp cloths, washcloths, socks, and mittens.- Plenty of onsies!- Breast pump if you plan on nursing and working.- Gas drops- Nail clippers and nail files, my baby’s nails grow VERY fast!- Brush and comb, most people don’t really need them because their babies are bald, but mine had like an inch and a half of hair at birth!- Extra car seat base if the baby will be going in multiple vehicles- Mobile for when you aren’t in the same room.- Johnson’s night time bath and lotion work GREAT for getting her to sleep. Everytime I use it she sleeps like an extra 2 hours than she normally does!- Pack n’ play, I have one that has a changing pad and it can be used as a crib. I use it for downstairs so she can nap while I do what I need to do!- At least 2 waterproof crib mattress pads, and a few fitted sheets!That’s all I can really think of right now. If I think of more I’ll add to the list!

My husband. lolI went in the middle of the night, not sure I was really in labor and didn’t want to wake anyone. I have two other small kids, and my husband had to work the next day – so, I figured if I was in real labor, I’d call from the hospital. (which is 25 miles away)I got there at 12:35am, and my precious girl was born at 1:08am. My husband drove 100mph and literally ran into the delivery room as she was crowning. Anyway….You really don’t need as much as they say. And the stay is only a couple of days if everything is ok, or even less if you choose. I only stayed one day and one night.Toothbrush, going home outfit for you and baby, and carseat. That’s the necessary stuff. Oh, and camera and makeup. Good luck – and CONGRATULATIONS!!
