I decided to make a start on my hospital bag...


Well, i looked at the what to pack thread, saw how long it was and how much stuff was needed and thought 'jeez, i never knew i needed so much'

I'm tempted to put it off for another day but really, i have NOTHING ready for it at all. I need to buy everything for me but most stuff for Maddie i've already got, just needs washing.

Grrrr i hate these moments

I've writtin up my lists over the last two days, seperate lists for me for labour bag/after delivery bag, Baby's bag, OH's bag.
I'm absolutely hopeless at packing to go anywhere so my lists are huge,.. but I'm SURE it's all needed!
Now just to fit it all into the bags we have.....

I've been told 36 weeks is the acceptable time. OH stressed me out yesterday by telliing me to get it ready "just in case" but I have SOOOOO much to do!!!!

SO I'm going to get that all done and then start at 35 weeks. If there is an emergency before then I'm sure the hospital can sort out the basics!

yeah, even though I've got my lists, theres a few things we'll need to buy that have to wait until early december and the next pay check to come in so it will be 35/36wks before they are all actually packed properly!

I've been writing lists for ages but have not actually done much about it, baby's bag is more or less done, although i will have to take out the clothes and wash them all soon! I have borrowed a fab bag off my friend for my things so i picked that up last night, itr has breast pads and pants in so far! What more does a girl need?!
