Hospital Bag Essentials (according to me)

Well since my time is coming to an end (pregnancy speaking) I'd thought I'd share some of my favorite item's to have while in the hospital... since this is my third pregnancy!

Some might find this useful, some might think I'm crazy and some might just ignore it!

Dad's-To-Be

-Cell phone charger
-Laptop
-Laptop Charger
-Money (cause you all know he's gonna get hungry)

Baby Diaper Bag

Well those are what I call my essentials... you can add or change them according to your needs... if you have children it's best that you pack a small bag of things for them to do when you deliver if none of you family can watch your children. 

Have a great night!
