It's been awhile since I had a baby - and it dawned on me that I don't even have a bag packed. So then I thought I'd pack one...until I realized I didn't have a clue what to put in it. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is slippers and my favorite pillow :dunno

I mean really - what else do I need? :giggle

Oh yeah - and the baby's homecoming out fit :giggle (Wait'll ya see it!)

People have a tendency to overpack and not use HALF of what they brought :lmao

I prefered the second time when I took my own jammies for after. It was a lot more comfortable. But, other than that, I agree with everyone else.
