Procrastinating about packing hospital bags..

[Liviam]

I'm over 39 weeks and haven't packed mine or the baby's either, LOL!! I keep using the excuse that I need the stuff so I can't pack it. Seems to be working so far, LOL! Last time I packed at 11pm (in early labour) when I was being induced at 7am the next morning. You've got heaps of time.

I live out of my hospital bag. Dont have enough to pack and its easier then having to put clothes away where they belong :P

i packed mine the other day, and now im living out of it!

all ive done is chuck a few baby clothes in one bag... and in another bag i have 3 pairs of trakkies, a few tops and some socks. i have some 'granny' knickers that i bought when i had dd, so ive got them in there, a packet of pads and a towel and face washer!

done!

we live 40 mins away from the hosp, but hopefully ill be in and out and back home asap!

That's a great idea to live out of your suitcase. I'd be afraid that I'd forget something though. How do you keep track of what is in there and what isn't?

I had packed the babies side, but then moved half of it into the baby bag to go to qld. Now I have to repack it and my side of the bag. But I am still using the clothes normally too, but probably should pack them and ignore them else they will be dirty when I need them because all the rain is limiting how much washing we can do.

ah, procrastinators unite. On the fence... tomorrow.

I just wash more often(every 2 days). Makes it easier as i only have 2 pair of pants that fit me. As soon as its off the line its back in the bag. So really no need to worry about not having enough clothes in the bag.

I did go out and buy new, body wash, toothbrush and paste etc, so i didnt have to worry about packing that.

What i must do now is make a list of the things i cant pack and where they live(if DF or other person need to get them) eg phone charger, camera, ipod, portable dvd player etc.

I've decided this weekend is the go!! I AM GOING TO PACK MY BAG!!!!! I like the idea of a list. Might work on that tonight. Gee look at me go, LoL!!

[ss_storm]

yeah go Dan! While you're at it, want to pack mine?

I see that DF has actually taken the bag out of the car - without me even asking/hinting so who knows..maybe he can do the next step (i.e. removing items in bag and putting them in the dirty laundry) without me asking as well...I can always hope. Lol

I wash everyday, so once my stuff is dry, i just put it back in the bag. i have some pairs of dp's old trakkies in there, which will stay in there, so at least i know if i forget a pair of mine, i still have something to wear! i also put in a few pre-preg tops, as well as my x-long singlets. so i should be fine i think!

I'm going to get them packed pretty soon cause i had the doctor nagging me about it today. "Miss L, you have a very big baby, so the possibility of you going into early labour is quite high, so you need to be prepared"

I'll get around to it sometime....lol
