what should i pack in the hospital bag..?

edited July 2011 in Labor
I know this has been asked before but my search tool is frustrating me and isn't giving me what I want lol! What items do I need to bring to the hospital when I go in to labor? I have Lillys diaper bag ready to go (thanks ladies for your help with that also) but now its time to get mine ready. Shaun will be the only person with me (he's my husband) and this is our first baby. So confused! Thanks for any input :)

  • @yaya thanks! Can I bring a blanket too for comfort after baby comes and I'm recovering? I'm so new to this lol but thank you for the help :)
    @mama2be11_4_11 I'm not really sure but I saw one momma on here say to treat every day after 36 weeks like it will be the day you go in to labor. Have meals ready, carseat installed and be ready to go. I'm 35 weeks but I think she will be on her way soon so I'm getting prepared. I'm due 9-6 but I just have a feeling it will be the last week in aug. Hopefully I don't jynx us lol!
