As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm Currently Feeling: | I finished by bag yesterday evening;
My Bag: 2 old large towels, Nightie (for giving birth in), Nursing nightdress & pyjama's, maternity pads, breast pads, dressing gown, slippers, giant knickers, nursing bras, socks & toiletries bag.
Babies Bag: Two outfits (in different sizes) for taking her home in, 3 Babygrows, 3 Bodysuits, Scratch Mitts, Socks & Hat, 12 Nappies, Cotton Wool & Bowl.
I have been advised by my MW not to use Baby Wiipes on newborn's because their skin can be so sensitive & warm water & cotton wool is fine for the first few weeks.  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I started packing mine on Saturday! I still have a few little bits to get for it though. What kind of bag has everyone used? I have got a tiny little suitcase, and then a changing bag for babies nappies and wipes etc. I just don't know how much of everything I will need to take in. I have been told that I might need a C-Section cause I am really small and have a dislocated hip, iin which case I am going to need more things if I am in longer!
Oh god being blonde doesn't help make these decisions lol!!!
What is everyone packing, and how much of everything you taking? xx  |

It's 17.99 from argos and I'd deffo recommend it  
I have packed a seperate bag for the baby, I just used his changing bag. |
