Hospital Bag Essentials

Oh the hospital bag totally over rated!! Yes you need to get your bag ready around 36 weeks or so but you do not need to pack everything!!! I learned the hard way LOL

Here are the top things that you need (assuming you live in AZ or somewhere not harsh)

Boppy- Great for if you plan to nurse. 
Big Black Undies to hide those stains because they will catch what the diaper ice pack, witches haze pads, and ginormous pad don't !
Nursing Bra- This one for JC Pennys is my favorite but it is not the one I brought to the hospital.  The first 2 weeks I prob spent 200 dollars on nursing tanks and bras until I found one that I liked
Chapstick and Mints for during labor
Shower items ( I got the beach smelling one to feel like I was in paradise)
Tank- for nursing or to sleep in and hang out in hospital.  It was tank and undies that I wore all day everyday LOL if we had visitors  I stayed under the covers HAHA
