What's in my hospital bag?
You all voted over on my insta poll and wanted to see what I packed in that hospital bag so here it is for ya — “What’s in my hospital bag?” vlog with the help of all of YOU!
When I went into labor with Ava, my water broke on my first contraction and I had no bag packed. I know, what kind of a first time mom was I?? Anyhow, it was 3am, we threw a bunch of stuff into some bags and I looked like I was moving into that hospital for the next month. Seriously. 347 bows for Ava, at least 17 outfits for her, 7 pairs of leggings for me, 12 sweaters and I had nothing I actually would have wanted. Obviously that’s an exaggeration but seriously, I failed miserably in the hospital bag department.
So I asked you all what I REALLY needed this time around and got it narrowed down quite nicely — I can fit everything I packed into half of a carry-on (my husband gets the other half). And boom, we’ve been set for weeks!
...and now we wait.
So here it is:
