I posted this picture on instagram of me packing our hospital bags and I got lots of requests to share what I packed! I haven’t delivered yet, so I don’t know if I over packed or missed some things, but we will see soon! I just took recommendations from friends and online. So here’s what I did!
For Me:
· Nursing friendly Pajamas I packed this exact set (ON SALE!) and I LOVE them! I also love these, these and these as well!
· Going home outfit-loose Tee and sweat pants or Dress I packed this dress because its so comfortable and it’s too hot outside for anything else!

· Nursing Bra I packed this one and I love it!
· Belly Bandit I’ve heard great things about this and can’t wait to try it!
· Makeup
