What to pack? It’s been over two years since I gave birth to Aliana. Seriously, I forgot what I packed the first time. One thing I remember was telling myself I definitely overpacked as if I was going for a week long trip out of the country. This time I am going to be more prepared and only bring the essentials. Also, the hospital will provide things for you in case you forget the minor stuff. You can always call ahead and check with the hospital to see what they will provide for you during your stay.
I broke down the list into two parts, baby and me. I made sure to include some extra options in case the taste of some of my maternity clothing were not your style. Now everything is just a waiting game.
I seriously cannot wait until he is in my arms. We are so excited!
