Anyways here is what is in the baby's bag thus far. First off it is in this awesome Carter's Fashion Tote Bag diaper bag. This is the one I got with Kai and it has held up well thus far. I have clothes packed for the baby. With Kai, I didn't have any clothes other than his coming home outfit and actually made my sister pick some up when she came to visit. I found I much preferred having him in clothes since I am sucky swaddler and it was easier to make sure he was warm that way. This is newbie's coming home outfit:
I love turtles. I have the Carter's 2-Pack Stripe and Turtle Swaddle Blankets as well. Plus the hats and matching socks just for the record. There is a heavy fleece blanket for the car ride home packed right now although if it is warm by the time newbie comes that will come out. His due date is March 26th which could be hot or cold.
I have baby mittens
in there as well since newborn nails are typically so sharp and long. There are some Gumdrop pacifiers and burp rags. Can you guys think of anything else I am forgetting?
As for the breast pump bag, I have the Medela Pump in Style Advanced. In with it are new Replacement Tubing
and Medela Spare Membranes since I have heard not to reuse those. I have a few Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags just in case my milk comes in before I leave and I have another non latcher. I have Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter to soothe sore nipples. I have Earth Mama Angel Baby Booby Tubes packed. Even if I never use these for anything breastfeeding related, they have come in quite handy already. I use them for headaches that I can't get rid of. I have a few sets of Bamboobies regular and overnight in there and all the pump parts and a few different bottle sizes just in case. Honestly if it is anything like last time, the breast pump will sit in the car the entire time. But I would rather have it there and not need it than to not have it at all. Finally I am bringing my Boppy Pillow
. This is so great for positioning small babies. Well you guys have to wait for my hospital bag since I am way too tired to figure out what is going in that one tonight. Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow. I mean I am only 35 weeks, 5 days so hopefully I still have a little bit of time to get ready.
