I haven't participated in all of Cassie's baby series blogs but I had a few minutes at work and thought I would do this one. The topic was what to bring to the hospital. For the most part I liked what people have said so far (see McLinkey's for other posts).
For Mommy:
*Comfy nursing bras or looser sports bras. I didn't like not having a bra on because of "leaking" and it just kinda hurt. The nursing tanks from Target are AWESOME.
*Lotion that smells good (I used some from Avon). I used the Orange Ginger Aromatherapy lotion from Bath&Body Works. It made me at least smell clean and relaxed me in labor when Josh rubbed it on my hands and neck.
*Comfy, soft pjs - I got the same Old Navy matching pjs that Ashley had. I also had my mom bring me a pair of old work out shorts that were loose and that I didn't care if they were messed up. Don't bring anything you would be sad if it got stained. I also had a soft robe that was great.
*My ipod. I made a "Shiloh's Labor List". I didn't even have time to listen to it while I was in labor except in the car on the way there but it would have been good.
*Things that hospital gave me that a necessity - Lanolin cream of breast feeding, Tucks pads, Dermoplast spray, the weird net underwear (some people hate them, I loved them), drugs.
Things for Baby:
*I only brought a nice going home outfit and a few onesies. I used mainly the hospital clothes while we were there. They got messy and icky and I didn't want any of the cute stuff I bought or was given to get stained right away.
*A hat was important but I didn't even think about bringing my own. It was probably good anyway because Addison was small so nothing really fit her.
*A baby book to put footprints in.
*A special blanket.
I have to get back to work or else I would keep going.
* On a totally random note: How can I change my font color or style on the blog?

I had a couple of ipod playlists and I really did use them: a "breathe" list, a "push" list, and a "it's a boy/girl" list. Those songs we listened to in the hours after she was born are so special to me now.
Dermoplast and Tucks pads -- I never knew what they were before labor, but they were crucial!
