Sooooo, I am officially 37 weeks pregnant today. I suppose that means it’s time to have my bags packed for the big day! Since I had Max at 38 weeks, I know that it can happen at any time from here on in. There are some things I brought with me last time that I was thankful for and there were some things that I wish I had thought to pack.
Here’s what I am bringing along…
- 3 sets of comfy pjs for me
- robe
- rubber sole slippers (moccasins)
- sports bras
- going home outfit for me
- belly compression wrap
- makeup (so I feel like myself when I have a million visitors)
- chapstick (I wished I had this during labor last time!)
- toothbrush & toothpaste
- hair elastics
- brush
- headband -I do not want my hair in my face during labor!
- Neutrogena makeup remover cloths! I love these!
- deodorant
- baby’s coming home outfit (pre-washed!)
- a few newborn sized bodysuits (the hospital’s are huge)
- a cute hat for baby
- phone charger
- iPod speaker and playlist loaded with calming music for labor
- a CHARGED camcorder for baby and big brother’s first meeting
- snacks in case kitchen is closed after a long delivery (you’re not allowed to eat once admitted until baby is born)
The nerves are really setting in! Nursery is almost ready…
Thank you!!!
OMG !! this is it!! the final stretch!!!! wooo hooo! I cant wait to meet my new grandchild xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
How exciting!! Can’t wait to see the news on my Instafeed!!

Great list and yay you’re almost there! This time I’ll have a much better handle on things. We didn’t really have a chance to pack much when Dex was born so it’s cool to see what you’re bringing with you. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by Tia!
Ah! I can’t believe I’m following on your second pregnancy and its already almost baby time! Best of luck to you…can’t wait to find out what baby number 2 is! 🙂 I had a baby boy four months after you had Max and we’re planning on “trying” (hate saying that LOL) for number 2 this summer 🙂
GOOD LUCK! I’ll be stalking your IG posts waiting for the announcement and pictures of Max with the newest addition!
What’s your son’s name? Go for it girl! If you get pregnant this summer you’ll be due around this time of year too 🙂
his name is Joseph Manuel — like a true little Portuguee 😉
I think the thing that annoys me the most as we wait for our time to come for number 2, is the constant “are you hoping for a girl”… I think it’s so unfair that us boy mamas get asked that way too often…and what is more annoying is that I don’t like the look I get like people don’t believe me when I say I would be really happy to see Joey be a big brother to a little brother. I think the bond between two boys would be so priceless. & obviously, health is always most important!! Anyway, really excited to see if Max gets to have a little brother or sister… I saw in your IG post your doctor said could be any day now so I’ll be on the lookout LOL 😉
I hear ya. I would love for Max to have a brother! I would also love to know what it’s like to have a little girl. I will be ecstatic either way. I love your son’s name!!
