Hospital Bag...?

What exactly will we NEED in this bag? I don't want to take too much and I'm usually a light packer... So I guess I'm just really wanting to know basic needs, nothing more really...

Hey Girl!! Hope you are doing well!!
I pack light and trust me, you really don't need alot because the hossy will give you most stuff, but here's my list. Oh and my hossy provides shampoo, conditioner and lotion, but I have to bring my own.
1) Robe and matching gown (I basically wear the hossy gown the entire time w/the robe, but bring a gown just in case)
2) Shampoo, cond, deo, lotion, body spray, hair brush and CHAPSTICK (the good stuff).
3) Socks....my feet stay cold and to me I hate bedroom slippers. I always wear socks during delivery.
4) Cloths for coming home. Something super comfy. I usually go w/yoga pants and t-shirt w/flip flops.
5) If nursing a nursing tank is great and if not def. sports bra a couple of pair of reg panties (they will give you these big pads to wear and trust me you'll want the room..lol). Also some breast pads for leaking (but again your hossy may provide these)
6) Camera and/or video camera.
The baby:
1) Picture outfit and home outfit a blanket to have pictures made with.
2) Bring the diaper bag.
I also bring a gift for my other kiddos so they don't feel left out. DS got a PS3 game and DD is getting a baby alive, so hopefully she will have her own baby and leave mine alone..lol.
I'll go through my packed bag and see what I have left out.

I figured the basics were all I was really gonna need... I don't understand some of the stuff they have on that list... But hey, some women pack like they're moving or something... lol Roselynn's bag is already packed using her diaper bag my husband and I are going to share a bag, because we both travel light... so... I guess we'll be starting on that today. Hope everything is good and that you are feeling more at ease with that decision you have to make. My next appt. is Tuesday as well, so for all I know she'll be delivered this week... lol... We're ready for her, but scared at the possibility of everything happening too quickly as well. Thanks for the list hun! I will be sure to get to packing

I would take an extra blanket for baby to cover the car seat with, also a pair of your undies preferably ones that if they get ruined its no biggie the mesh ones are not too comfy. I also took lotion cause my skin got super dry after she was born. I would also advise taking a change of clothes for Dad too if he's planning on camping out with you the entire time.

Not sure about your hospitals, but my hospital said they will provide all the stuff we need, including receiving blankets that we can take home with us (Christy - I am planning on sending one of these blankets home with DH for our dog to check out).
I wasn't planning on bringing the diaper bag, but I think I will have DH put it in the car just in case.
Does the hospital provide pacifiers?

Hey Emily. Great idea about sending the blanket home for your furbaby. I think I'll do that also. Def. bring the diaper bag (even is you just leave in the car).
My hossy provides the big green Soothers paci. Which fort. I like!! If you want to try a different paci def. bring your on. My friends do not like the hossy paci's so they always bring which ones they like, BUT keep in mind that LO may reject certain nipples. I always buy two different types to have, just in case. HTH!!!
OH, and I wanted to add to "the bag" a baby book or something that you want LO's footprints in. Don't forget!!!
