what to pack for hospital?

We're going in tomorrow morning for a section and I think I'm ready, but also feel like I'm missing something.  This is what I have so far...

toiletries - just the basics

clothing for DH, me and baby

camera

batteries

ipod, ipod speakers

magazine

chapstick

cell phone, cell phone charger.

Can you think of anything else? Last time I packed way too much, so I'm trying to be minimal this time.  TIA

    You probably won't need the ipod or speakers. I brought mine and never used it. You must be thinking that you will get some peace and quiet in the hospital. WRONG.:) Also I just wore a hospital gown the whole time and never needed a change of clothes except for coming home.

    I packed a small hospital bag for DD with some books, toys, crayons, etc. so that she'd have something to do while she was up at the hospital visiting.  I also brought a small photo album from her delivery....it was fun comparing her first pics with DS's!  Good luck!

    We actually brought the ipod into the OR when DS was born and it was a great distraction for me during surgery.  You're right though, we never turned it on again after that. no

    No idea what just happened, but I was trying to finish by saying, no relaxing for us!  :)
