Now that I have it and officially in that 3rd trimester AND I like to get things done early that needed, I wanted to start filling it to take to the birthing center.
'
- Clothing for the little one. Like 3 outfits? Should be good right?
- Blanket. Although, Tennessee Summer heat in July? Maybe an Aden & Anais blanket.
- Baby carseat
- Baby book so I can do the foot prints and have some help doing so.
- Baby Grooming kit. I'd probably just use the hair brush. I'm pretty sure my child will have a head full of hair.
- 5-6 diapers and wipes.
- socks and a hat just in case?
Now for my bag:
- My precious camera and charged up battery and an extra memory card. Yes, I was photos of everything. I'm THAT kinda mom to be. lol
- Cell phone, charged up
- Snacks and Drinks(Yes, I'll be allowed to eat. One of the many benefits of laboring/birthing at a birthing center)
- makeup, toothbrush..a little grooming bag with a hair brush and lots of pony tail holders, deodorant, etc
- something to labor in like a light weight dress
- something to birth in like a bathing suit or bra for a water birth.
- cheap big and comfy underwear and a nursing bra.
- breast pads
- going home outfit... sweatpants and a tank top. I'm not wearing anything fancy or cute.
- laptop.. more so for my sister to be entertained with
- CHAPSTICK and massage oil
I can't think of anything else. I think I may need to do some research....
U could bring little mittens because his fingernails will likely be long :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually very much against mittens and my midwives do not recommend them either.
DeleteA babies hands are their best friends in utero and when you cover them after birth, your taking away a friend(s) they've always known. And It's best to learn to cut or file the nails anyway. Makes sense since a lot of babies have their hands in mouth on ultrasounds..like mine.
So, I haven't haven't even invested in pair other than sleepers that have them built in. lol
those are a lot easier to put on then mittens anyway. sometimes their wee little hands get chilly, too. i often didnt have the heart to clip her little nails, they looked so pretty and i didnt want to mess up! now of course i dont have a choice because she loves getting messy and digging her nails into mah boobs.
ReplyDeleteAround my due date, It'll be around 120 degrees with 80% humidity.. so I'm not too worried about mittens or socks or hats and all that. I may bring a light knit hat and clothes but with the weather, I don't want to bundle him up to much. The weather will be killer.
DeleteI'm sure when his nails get super long, I'll clip or file them. lol.
