Hospital Bag Checklist For Mom To Be - What I Am Packing

I cannot believe that I am in my 40th week of being preggo! Like where did the time go?!!!

It is kinda funny, during pregnancy you are thinking that it is taking so long, and oh my goodness 9 months is such a long time, and blah blah blah. Then one day you are 38 weeks pregnant, realize that you are full term, and at any moment you could welcome a new little one into the world. Ya, it is wild!

So, you start getting nervous and realize how unprepared you feel :? Maybe it is just me, but man I get worried that I am just really not prepared, so I started doing a lot of things these last few weeks to get ready for labor and for baby to make the arrival! Yay!

One thing I started looking at was what to pack for my hospital bag. I started by just putting together what I thought I would want, and then did some research on what other people packed. To my surprise I had most of everything people suggested so that was pretty neat!

Now that I have my hospital bag all set up and ready to go, I wanted to share it with you guys in case you are feeling a little worried, overwhelmed, or stressed :)

Ok, so I wanted to break down the list into different sections. You will see a section for mama, dadda, baby, and other!
