Who would have thought???

Who would have thought packing the hospital bag could be so difficult?!?!?! I had the babies bag packed the other day and thought i should get a move on my bag. Since i have never done this before i went online and looked up what to pack... geeeezzze you'd think i was going away for a week with the amount of crap they suggest! It literally took me 3 hours to pack.

The labor bag is really Mike's bag hahaha. In that bag is cloths for mike in case he is at work and needs to meet me at the hospital... this way he doesn't have to get scrubs or wear his uniform hahaa that would be funny!! Then its got PJ's for him to wear in case the process takes a long time and he wants to sleep as well as a comfy outfit of gym shorts and a t-shirt. Other than that its got lots of snacks for mike, change for vending machines, an extra phone charger, my ID and insurance info, my doctors visit journal just in case we need to look something up or write something down, a night gown for me in case i dont want to wear a hospital gown to deliver, flip flops, and some small stuff like hair ties .

The post pardum bag is all mine... mike can go home and shower and change and play with the pups if he wants (i will try to sleep hahaha). Its got your typical 2 days worth of cloths, pj's, a going home outfit for me, socks, undergarments, and toiletries.

Then we have the babies bag which has 2 different going home outfits (I cant decide yet which i want so i brought both ahahha) then a long sleeve onsie for each, a cap for each, socks for each, and a receiving blanket for each.

Then we have the camera bags.. 2 digital cameras and 1 moving camera as well as their respective extra memory sticks and batteries. Now for those of you that know Mike... chances are he wont pick up a single camera.... so pray he can figure out how to work them and i can have some memories of that day.

Then on top of everything is the outfit i want to wear to the hospital and a sweatshirt for each mike and i. I just need to get the pillows ready and i should be good to go!!!!

Soooooooo think we got enough crap? I think i packed less bags for our honeymoon than for this! Well after 3 hours of laundry and folding and finding stuff i was exhausted and hungry. Went in the kitchen to make dinner only to start with some contractions. I guzzeled a ton of h2o and layed down. Thank God that did the trick. After i told mike what happened he was very upset and told me i need to not push myself so hard! He is right... sooo now that the bags are packed its just a waiting game. Hopefully a long waiting game for a least another 3-4 weeks!

Im off to go make some breakfast!
