Hello! We welcomed Eva Mae on 1/13/22 at 7:39 PM! I am excited to eventually share our birth story and all the products we are currently loving. But first, I thought I would share the items we packed, what we used and didn’t use in out hospital bags. I packed my husbands and I’s things in duffel bags and then packed baby’s in her diaper bag.

Mom’s Bag

• My bag was an old Vera Bradley duffel bag (similar to this one)
• 2-3 nursing friendly pajamas/gowns (this is what I wore in hospital the next couple days after delivery)
• Nursing bra
• Light weight robe
• Shoes for shower ( I used Crocs)
• Slip on shoes (Make sure the shoes you bring have the room for your foot to swell, my feet swelled so much my shoes almost didn’t fit)
• Nipple cream (I love this cream!)
• 2 extra long chargers and 2 wall plug ins (these I found at TJmaxx in store)
• Comfy going home outfit – Top and Pants
• 2 pairs of socks

Dad’s Bag

• I found a black duffel bag at TJmaxx and ordered a velcro patch that said #dadlife
• 2-3 comfy outfits
• Sweatshirt
• 2-3 socks and underwear
• Drinks/snacks

Baby’s Diaper Bag

• Baby’s diaper bag I found at Burkes Outlet a Steven Madden diaper bag
• 2 coming home outfits, one in size newborn and one in size 0-3
• Wooden birth announcement plaque
• Swaddle and matching hat (Here is the one I used)
• Newborn hats – Hat 1 and Hat 2

Definitely be sure to bring a pillow for you and your husband. I meant to grab them when we went to the hospital but forgot about it. Thankfully my parents brought them to the hospital. I only had two pillows in my room and they were super flat. We asked for more but they did not have any more available. Also bring your nursing pillow too. I brought my makeup bag but I did not put any makeup on while I was there.
