Happy Hump Day loves! Usually I am excited to get closer to the weekend but today is the last day of Griffin’s paternity leave so I am less than thrilled about it to say the least haha! It has been so nice having him off the past two weeks and we have definitely made a good team so pray for me when it is just me and baby Sawyer to fend for ourselves haha! So today I am talking about what I packed in my hospital bag. I did a lot of research on this and tried to not over pack too much and I think I packed the perfect amount! Griffin and I shared a big bag and then I packed Sawyer’s baby bag for him. Also notice big sister really wanted to help pack ;p
Mom’s Bag:
2 sets of button up PJ’s (perfect for nursing)
Delivery Gown (loved this one! Buttons in the back making it perfect if you get an epidural)
Robe (I actually ended up not wearing this, but planned on wearing it for pictures)
Going home outfit (something loose and comfortable)
Make up and curling iron/straightener (if you plan on doing hospital pictures)
Toiletries (own shampoo, face wash, body wash, etc)
Flip Flops (for the shower)
Underwear (I recommend black (won’t show stains) briefs like these)
Chapstick
Nipple Butter (a must if planning to nurse!)
Camera, Laptop, Chargers
Snacks
Dad’s Bag:
2-4 changes of clothes
PJ’s
Underwear
Toiletries
Flip Flops
Extra Blanket
Baby’s Bag:
Going home outfit
3 PJ’s in different sizes (I brought preemie, Newborn, 0-3 months, he ended up in the preemie!)
Wipes (highly recommend! Our hospital only had dry cotton wipes that did not work well on those first poops!)
Swaddle set (for pictures, hat & swaddle)
Any photo props like a letter board
I’ll definitely be bookmarking this post! So many great tips!

I totally over packed my hospital bag and basically lived in my nursing tank and my PJ’s!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
