Hospital Bag Checklist

Since I found myself with some free time on my hands, I decided to work on a Quadrant 2 (important, but not urgent) task, which is making my checklist of things to bring to the hospital for when I give birth.

I overpacked when I gave birth to J since I wasn't really sure what we needed. This time around, I pared my list down to the bare essentials. While this list may look long to you, it's a lot shorter compared to what I had  in preparation for J's birth. This list will change depending on your needs or your husband's needs. Don't forget to pack stuff for Daddy too, since he'll be at the hospital with you as well. We often focus so much on the things we'll need and the baby's things, that we might end up forgetting about Daddy. :-) Believe me, I learned that the hard way.
