HOspital PreparatiOns...

mOmmy... I think it's time fOr yOu tO pack fOr the labour/ hOspital bag:

• HOspital NOtes
• Birth Plan
• NightgOwns (preferably the type you can unbutton in frOnt of easy breastfeeding)
• Maternity bras
• Bra pad
• Maternity sanitary pads
• Small plastic bags for sOiled stuff (persOnal hygiene)
• BedrOOm Slippers
• Nipple Cream
• Dark cOlOured tOwel
• COmfOrtable briefs Or dispOsable underwear
• ClOthes for when leaving the hOspital
• FavOurite tOiletries
• HandphOnes
• NetbOOk
  

For daddy:

• Coins - lots of them for the vending machines
• Camera, storage card/ laptop plus charger (film too if you are not on digital yet)
• Handphones plus charger (if any)
• Videocam plus charger (if any)
• Change of clothes (if bunking in)
• SHAVER (no scratchy chins allowed!)
• Reading materials
  

For me: (if the hospital is not providing any):

• Baby Vests
• Scratch mitts and booties
• Wrapping blanket
• Disposable diapers or nappies
• Preferred baby tOiletries

mOmmy needs to sort them out, washed them with the baby laundry detergent and then pack it nicely into a bag or two.

mOmmy will be almost there! (she left with a week tO cOmplete the abOve tasks)
