A much requested blog post is here! As a first time mama I want to be prepared so even though I'm not due for 7 more weeks I rounded up what I am packing in my hospital bag! I hope this hopefully helps you too! :) Check the bottom of the post for a super fun giveaway! Also- I wanted to tell you babes, I am going to update this post after I have him & tell you the items I really needed/maybe could have left home! 

FOR BABY:

- TWELVElittle Companion Backpack in Black 2.0

- Uppababy MESA car seat 

- Cozys car seat cover

- Pacifier 

- Outfit we are "announcing" him in

- 2 Swaddle blankets 

- Boppy this isn't a necessity, you can just use a pillow! 

- Socks

- Wipes the hospital provided these! 

- Going home outfit 

- Kickee Pants Onesie in Zebra Lightning 

- Kickee Pants Onesie in Dusty Sky 

- Sleepsack (the one pictured above is in the color Dusty Sage but is sold out at the moment)

- Cord blood kit 

* We didn't stay long at the hospital so we didn't need all the clothes I brought him!

Thinking about:

- Baby book (for his footprints) I was so out of it when they were stamping his footprints on a separate sheet of paper, I completely forgot about his book

- Baby mittens (in case he scratches himself) We didn't use these

FOR MAMA (ME):

- Belabumbum Lounge Chic PJ & Robe Set This was literally amazing, a godsend!

- Zoe Organics Cream

- Zoe Organics Refresh Oil

- Zoe Organics Nipple Balm 

- Long phone charger A MUST HAVE

- Comfy slippers (I have these in 2 colors)

- Non-slip fuzzy socks I just wore the ones the hospital gave me!

- Going home comfy outfit: cardigan, tank, joggers

- Robe- loveee the leopard! Not bringing my nice one because I'm not sure how bad the blood situation will be

- Pillow loved having my own pillow!

- Blanket

- Nursing bra (this looks super comfy to me!)

- Nursing pads My milk hadn't come in yet so these weren't necessary! 

- Breast pump (still debating on which one to get!) You absolutely do not need one at the hospital

- Always Discreet Underwear & or Thin pads/pantyliners These were amazing for postpartum at home but not needed at the hospital

-  Flip flops (for the shower, also love these & they are under $10!)

- Towel ( I heard the hospital towels are super hard) I didn't even shower at the hospital because 1- we weren't there long and 2-  I was in so much pain I could barely walk much less shower

- Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, makeup removing wipes, chapstick, deodorant, face wash, moisturizer, contacts, dry shampoo, travel size shampoo & conditioner, lotion, body wash, makeup

- Mints 

- Prenatal Vitamins

Thinking about: 

- Dermoplast (in case the hospital doesn't provide it) they provided this

- Mini fan  a MUST HAVE, I used it during labor, after labor,  in the middle of the night!
