Things to pack for the hospital

At 31 weeks, I'm already feeling panicky about organizing the stuff that I need to bring for my baby and myself when it's time to head to the hospital. I checked GTalk and some other mommy blogs to see what they have packed. At the same time, I tried to visualize myself and what I'll needing (as well as my baby) when the big day comes. Here's my list and if you think I've missed out on a couple of things, please, please let me know :)

Mommy Bag

•   2 robe

  3. how long will you stay in the hospital? Don't know about PI but when my sister had her baby, she only needed 1 hooded receivng blanket, 2 blanket, no socks, no mittens, no onesies, and no bonnets too.

    the reason for no mittens is that (in korea at least), we wrap the baby in blanket with the hands inside as to make them feel like they are still in the womb.. so the baby won't be startled. :D

    GOod luck and Congrats!!

  4. ^thanks! Approximately 2 days for Normal delivery and around 3-4 days for CS. It's different here and the hospitals are also not the same. I'm trying to find out if the hospital where I'm giving birth is providing an admission kit for the baby like most hospitals do. Still, it's better to bring more than less right?
