What's in my Hospital Bag?

I had mentioned on facebook and instagram that I had a packing list

and was getting my bags ready and I got a lot of people 

asking me what I pack so I decided to make a post out of it 

for all my preggers friends and family out there

who want some ideas on what to bring with you to the hospital

With my first, Maddux, coming sooner than expected and having to run around 

like a crazy person trying to get a bag packed before rushing to the hospital 

Well it was actually me in back labor pain crying while my poor 

husband ran around packing a bag trying to remember everything 

We didn't even have a blanket for our poor little man 

the hospital had to give us some

oh man 

we have learned our lesson and want to be prepared this time around 

and have the bags packed nice and early to all 

I have to do is add a few things and go 

We don't live far from the hospital but it will just been nice to have it all 

ready and there with us 

I like to be prepared even if it is overly prepared 

Here it is in List form

I packed two bags 

One bag that me and baby Holden will share

(its a pretty big duffel)

and one for my little Maddux 

Lets start with Baby Holden's Stuff:

-3 burp clothes (great for not only burping but to use

with breastfeeding, Maddux was a messy eater and these saved all my shirts)

-A muslin receiving blanket or 2

(have you guys heard of these? They are amazing I hear

The didn't have them when Maddux was born but they are huge and light)

let me know so I can add them in my bag too 

I went to the Doctor today. I am 35 1/2 weeks and I am to

my weekly appointments now 

I can't believe it is getting to that point already

everything is going so fast

I got checked today and am already dilated to a 2 almost a 3

but  he is still pretty high so I have 4 1/2 weeks or less to go 

And now I feel so much better that I have the bags all prepared 

and ready to go 

Now we just wait and see when he decides to come
