It's almost time!! Time for Christian to get here that is! I will be 38 weeks tomorrow so he could be here really any time! Or...we could be still waiting for as long as 3 weeks. My doctor induces me 1 week past my due date if baby isn't here yet.
Hubby and I are planners and our hospital bags are packed and the car is loaded! We took a childbirth class that was 3 weeks long starting when I was about 28 weeks. Hubby decided I needed to get my bags packed ASAP after that! So I did! I have probably been packed since about 32 weeks or so.
In my 3rd Edition of my 'New Mama Questions' post, I got some great feedback via comments and facebook messages for what to pack! Thanks to all of you who responded!
Since our bags are all packed and the car is loaded....I kinda missed getting pictures of what I packed. But here is my list: (I probably overpacked...but that's just how I am...)

Maybe a mirror? That might be nice if you want to spruce up from bed before you get guests and it maybe nice to not have to get up especially if you are sore, etc... just a thought. I wish I had a small mirror with me more often in just the every day ;P
