I know... I'm a nut. I like to pre-think and get things prepared way ahead of time. I figure by 22 weeks my bags will be pretty much packed and ready to rock and roll. If my husband giggles and tries to dissuade me? No later than 30 weeks. It gives me a chance to really get things the way I want them and to make sure I'm not forgetting something important... Like hygiene stuff. Because... Yeah. There's a reason why I buy the brands I do.
For me my list, and yes I already have a list because of my DS and now I know better as far as things to bring, is as follows. Keep in mind I've already been told no VBAC, so stuff to labor with isn't necessary on this end;
Me
1.) Paperwork; insurance info, IDs, birth plan
2.) 3 pairs of non-skid super cozy socks
3.) non-skid slippers
4.) warm robe
5.) nightgown (x3 because they WILL get ruined)
6.) Decent top or sweater for professional baby pics (service provided by hospital)
7.) Personal Grooming Stuffs; lip balm, hair ties, shampoo/conditioner, pit stick, lady wash, lotion, toothpaste, toothbursh
8.) Go home clothes; bra, loose shirt, loose pants, giant loose undies (love the hospital ones while I'm in there)
9.) Eyeglass cases (hubby and I)
10.) Bath towel (hospital ones are THIN)
11.) Extra pillow (+ a colorful case that can be chucked!)
12.) pair of oversized rubber flip flops for shower (thanks Flowergirl7!)
13.) Nursing pads (Thanks CRWx!)
14.) Nipple cream (Thanks CRWx!)
Hubby Land:
1.) Shirts, Pants, Undies for the time we're there
2.) Comfy lounge pants for bed time
3.) non-skid socks for night time
4.) Tablet
5.) Cell phone, Tablet, Camera chargers
6.) Extra memory cards
7.) Extra pillow
8.) Personal Grooming: Shampoo, pit stick, toothbrush (we use same toothpaste)
Baby Land
1.) Carseat
2.) Going home outfit
3.) Onesies for while in the hospital
4.) Warm blanket for ride home

I would add Flip flops for the shower.
