  above was an excellent list!  I'm adding iPod and dock for me just because our hospital only has dvd players and they're across the room and I want to be in control of the music.  I'm also bringing my "labor movie" Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2.  It really puts me in a "I'm a woman and I kick a**" kind of a mood.  Also, I'll probably not bring the boppy just because the extra pillows they bring to help with feeding at first makes it easy to sneak one home for a keepsake (too much?  lol)  I also don't remember actually getting to *wear* my nursing bras at the hospital, though I brought them, just because DS had a hard time figuring out how to eat and I was basically bare-chested the entire first 3 days of his life lol

  I would also add a book or DS or something for DH to do when you might be sleeping or having down time and you don't want to have to entertain him. Sigh, I should probably start puttin gthi stogether.
