Next time I'm going to pack shoes! I was so rushed leaving the house (was in full-blown labour) that I went bare foot and didn't even notice (well I had other things to concentrate on!) I had packed slippers but never wore them while I was there. On the day we left to go home, dp packed all the bags into the car and came back to get ds and I and I realised I never took the slippers out of the bag. So I walked through the hospital and carpark barefoot That time I certainly did notice.
