Baby name book... Even if you have already decided on a name, many people change their mind after looking at the baby so its still handy to have with you.
Its boring sitting/laying in hospital and I have found that many items that you can switch between for stimulation is a must have.
A baby dummy... just in case. I was adament that I would not use a dummy but changed my mind after finding my girl was a comfort sucker and after 4 hours of boob action and crying baby if not on breast I succummed to the dreaded dummy. Never, say never.
The other ladies have written great ideas... one very valuable one is snacks! and maybe bottled water and a jug. Hospital food being bad is an understatement. I lived off of cheese & tomato sandwiches instead of the food provided. The only items I ate that was provided was fruit and yoghurt.
Best of luck with everything, its a very exciting time.
