Hospital Bag

As Baby Day approaches, I am thinking about packing my hospital bag. I got the most adorable black and pink polka dotted bag to take with that is big enough to hold vacation clothes for a week! In researching what to pack, this is the list I have come up with:

Birth Plan
Health Insurance Information
Driver's License
Money for parking and vending machines
Robe
Slippers
PJ's
Underwear
Pillow or blanket
Lip Balm
Shampoo/Conditioner
Soap
Razor
Hair ties and clips
Brush
Make up
Deodorant
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Cell phone and charger
Book or magazine
Notepad and pen
Empty duffel bag (for all of the free goodies and gifts)
Maternity outfit to go home in
Baby going home outfit
Mittens, booties, hat
Receiving blanket
Diaper bag with
diapers
wipe cloths
blanket
Camera
Car seat
iPod
Snacks

So, all you moms out there, I ask you, what do you think of this list? Too little? Too much? What else will I need to make my hospital stay more comfortable? Is there anything on here that I'm just not going to need? Since you can almost never be 100% prepared, I want to be as close as possible!

    I think it is a good list. You'll need several pair of undies, and if you don't want to wear the hospital pads, bring your own(overnight large type) the hospital ones are like a foot and a half long, no kidding!

    You can certainly bring books and magazines, but you probably won't open them. The time goes quick and your sleeping or playing with baby or visitors.

    Razors?- you won't care... That'll not be a priority for you, trust me. You can go without for a day, or two.

    Keep the baby stuff to a minimum, most likely you'll head straight home, and will not need any of that, except the outfit/blanket/coat and seat . Your baby bottle of choice and maybe your pump?

    Bra pads...trust me, a necessary item.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!! In case you don't believe me.......................... I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life.  The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List .  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them.  I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crosse
