Have any of you ladies gotten your diaper bags packed and ready to go for when you deliver your sweet bundle of joy??? I just finished getting Gracie's diaper bag together and its all starting to feel real :-) i am so excited!!
I don't have a diaper bag, diapers or really anything. But if I did have those things I probably would pack it all up because I am always super paranoid that I am going to forget something...

John Joseph was born on 12/12/14 at 7 lbs. 11 oz. He is the most beautiful rainbow baby we could have wished for!
I didn't even use a diaper bag with DS at the hospital; they provided everything we needed for our stay. I just put his going home outfit in my hospital bag. I don't even have a diaper bag for this LO yet....I'm pretty sure I have a while still.

Oh I will give you this tip: Do not buy a giant box of newborn size diapers. Just but the small pack. Which you will likely give half to a pregnant friend. DD was in newborn size for a day.
I didn't even think of packing a diaper bag, doesn't the hospital give diapers and wipes while you're there? I didn't think the baby needed anything but an outfit to come home....
The only baby items I'm bringing to the hospital are an outfit or two, boppy pillow, and an empty bag to pack with baby shit. Your insurance pays for all the crap in the room so ransack it while you can!
All the diapers, wipes, etc at the hospital are yours to take. Once the packages are opened they need to be used by the same patient or thrown away. We left with a ton of diapers.
I won't be taking a diaper bag for LO. I'll take her going home outfit in my bag and a blanket for the car seat since it'll be December after all. Everything else is provided, including a going home hat that the little old lady volunteers always make. E got a cute little pumpkin one last time around. Last time I packed entirely too much crap! This time it's the bare minimums. When will I pack my bag? Probably right before I know I'm going into labor, just like last time. I'm a last minute packer with everything. H hates it.
Nope! I'll throw a thick blanket and an outfit in my bag and call it done. This is my 3rd and I doubt I'll even bring much for myself. I didn't use 50% of what I packed the last couple times.
Last time I used the diaper bag as my hospital bag. Will do that again but won't start packing/putting things together until late November or early December.
Only things I'll bring for baby is an outfit and nail file.
I'm pouting because my first choice diaper bag was discontinued, so I don't have one. Boo! I did, however, buy a box of size 1 Pampers Swaddlers today. So I'm feeling a little better that LO won't be diaperless AND naked. (Just naked. Haha) ETA: Oh, the actual question.. I'll probably have my bag and diaper bag packed (minus my clothes and last minute stuff) 3 weeks before my EDD, 'cause who knows!?
Check ebay! They have all kinds of discontinued bags for good prices. I got a Kate Spade diaper bag in a pattern that was discontinued over a year ago for half off retail. Brand new still wrapped in plastic!
