We are so close to meeting our sweet little bundle of joy! Suitcase is packed and in the car ready for when he’s ready to get here with us.
I packed for all 3 of us in one large suitcase rather then packing a carry bag. Just like when you go to the airport… it’s much easier and more officiant to have a roll on suitcase in my book. All of mommy’s, babies and daddy’s essentials fit and even a few extras!
We are counting down the days we get to meet our sweet boy! So while I have this time (not too long now) I thought I’d share my list of items I’m taking to the hospital and maybe help some future mommies out.
My list of packed items consists of a lot of Pinterest lists that I transformed into one. Including some things my fellow mom friends suggested 👍🏼
