I have been getting ready obviously for the birth of #2. There is definitely a lot less that we need to do this time around since it's not the first time. We aren't worrying about pulling out the pack and play until we are getting ready to go to the hospital. We have our hospital bag packed other than toiletries and I went to the grocery store to pick up some things to have on hand to eat when I am in the birthing time for #2. Two other big things we did was get the doctor to sign the birth preference sheet (which I'll post) and get preregistered for the hospital.
Here's what is in my hospital bags (plus a couple things I'm planning on throwing in at the last minute):
Nursing tank
Yoga pants
2 shirts (that pull down in front for easy nursing)
A couple pairs of old underwear
A couple of newborn size diaper covers
About 8-10 flat cloth diapers (I have regular prefolds but I don't want to use them until we are done with meconium)
Wet bag for diapers
2 blankets
1 pair of socks
A couple of newborn outfits (since we don't know boy or girl, I'm bringing a few different options)
Halo newborn swaddle sack
Nursing cover (not sure that I'll actually use the cover while nursing but bringing it just in case)
Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shave cream, razor, face wash, toothbrush, toothpaste)
Overnight pads
I-Pod touch
Birth preference sheet
Foods:
Coconut water (electrolytes like Gatorade without all the added sugar and other additives)
Broth and noodles
Peanut butter granola bars
Crackers
Peanut butter
Applesauce

Yay! Praying for a smooth delivery!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Or rather- blessings!!! You'll do great!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear an update from you! I'm in awe of everything you're still doing, with a little one and pregnant with the second! I still remember being your prayer buddy when you found out about #1. And I didn't realize you kept the gender a surprise for #2. How fun! You'll have to be sure to come back and share the birth story!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! Prayers as always!
