I’m 34 weeks this week – so it’s about time to get my hospital bag packed so I can feel as ready as possible! Truly wild to me that baby 2 will be here in about 6 weeks, give or take, making us a family of 4–or 5 if we are counting Bruce. π I shared a blog post on what I packed when I was pregnant with Keldon (read the post here), so since this isn’t my first rodeo, I feel a little more prepared this time knowing exactly what to expect and what necessities need to be packed (and what don’t). I also asked on IG stories what some of your must-haves were, and added a couple more to my list, including the portable stroller fan for labor (note – I’ve heard this may not be allowed in some hospitals), a portable charger and an empty tote for items that the hospital can send home with you!
I created a graphic for this checklist so you can easily screenshot/print out if you’d like. π I didn’t include a list for dad on the graphic, since dads are typically pretty low-maintenance and can always make a run home/to the store if needed. Happy packing, and best wishes for a smooth delivery! xx
