  1. Sounds like a great list! I'm nervous even thinking about my hospital bag! But I have some time before I need to pack it. You are certainly prepared to bring that baby home! You're almost there :)

    1. I was too lol. With my first pregnancy I did it at the last second when my dr told me to go into the hospital lol. I had nothing useful or comfy at all. I'm counting down until the due date I'm so excited. I completely over packed though but it's what I'm good at LOL!!
