First of all, congradulations!
Well it seems like you’re pretty much ready but you will need gas drops, alcohol for the belly botton, vicks vaporizer, rash cream and infant tylonol, just incase. You dont want to be running around at the last minute. Also get things that you think YOU might need. Pads, nursing pads, etc. Things that you may feel comfortable with. All though its such a wonderful thing its not all about the baby. In order for the baby to be fine, you have to be aswell. And if you havent got ready for the day you go to the hospital, here’s a list of some of the things you might need.
-for baby
couple of onesies, first photo outfit (day you get out), socks, hats or benies, recieving blankets, burp cloths, carseat, blanket, although they should provide almost everything at the hospital, you just want to be sure.
– for you
change of clothes for when you get out, slippers, some women like to bring their own pads, make up, comb, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, own towels(if you want), book or magazines( something you can entertain yourself with), Perfume(again if you want), Mirror (you don’t want to use up the on in the bathroom as you might have roomates), cell phone, charger, birth announcements.
– daddy
Something to keep himself occupied, camera or video camera.
These are just some of the things I can think of right now. But if I can remeber anything else. I’ll be sure to post it. Good luck and again congradulations.
My thoughts..?..my life says
Sound like you are pretty well set.
Maybe……..
Diaper rash cream
Bottles just in case (a couple if you nurse and several if you don’t)
Amanda C says
You may need some diaper rash cream(desitin)
Pacifiers
Infant Tylenol and Motrin
Baby oil, q-tips,Powder
Bibs
Bottle warmer
Baby Detergent(Dreft is really good)
Baby stain remover( milk stains are hard to get out!!!)
Burp Cloths( The white diposable diaper cloths work great)

nothing, you have prepared everything for your baby, all you need to do is to prepare yourself, buy things for yourself like napkins, new dress and calm your self about worrying the things for your baby, GOD will provide other things.. and advance CONGRATS!!!
Taydoo says
I would add:
Baby powder
Diaper rash cream
Cloth diapers (they come in very handy for spit up rags)
One or two small toys
I wouldn’t worry about meds right now. They expire so it is best to just get them when you need them. If you feel you must get some, just get one bottle of either infant tylonal or infant motren.

Have you had your baby shower yet? If you haven’t, then you may want to wait to see what you get because you’re already pretty well stocked on things…

wow…you have almost everything but i would consider getting a stroller! Oh and I am sure you have it but a car seat!
As far a the meds….malcon drops for gas….infant Tylenol and baby Motrin. I also got teething tablets but that wont be for a while.
I would also keep a good diaper rash cream I recommend Baudroux butt cream!
Maybe buy some cloth diapers for spit up. I loved mine.
Also buy some healthy snacks for you for after the baby is born BC you are ganna be super busy….so remember to keep mom healthy too!
