someone posted a really great looking list of stuff for your hospital bag while back--- anyone have a copy? My DS came early and I didn't have anything but some random things DH threw in a grocery sack!
The bump has one that seems pretty good. I'm not packing, but made a list so I will pack it when I go into labor. The list is super specific so DH can pack it if need be. Most of the stuff I want to pack I also want to use in the mean time (hairbrush, ect), so I don't see the point in packing it. Our childbirth prep class teacher said that packing the bag during early labor before you go to the hospital is a good time killer.
I don't remember which one you are talking about, but I have a pretty detailed one... As long as you promise not to make fun of me and how anal I am, I will copy it. :-) Oh, and I am sure that I am missing stuff and throwing in extra stuff... I started it last weekend, and this is just what I came up with so far.

Don't forget hard candies (ie life savers) No pun intended, but they were life savers during my difficult induction!
Thanks! You know, I might show up with two large suitcases, but at least I'll have everything. :-)
