Hi Tulip,

What hospital are you going to? I'm going to Osborne Park and they actually do supply what they say in the book that they will - they're very good that way.

As far as books, makeup etc, I'm taking mine, just in case I do get time - I know I couldn't sleep everytime I had the opportunity. And with visiting hours varying from place to place, it depends how much 'down time' you'll get on your own as to how much you'll actually WANT to sleep.

As for clothes etc for bubs - I used the hospitals with dd, and will this time too - save me doing the washing when I get home!! I was talking to a friend yesterday though who said she was going to use her own wraps just to give baby something that smells like home....
