Procrastinating about packing hospital bags..

[DoubleK]

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

hehehe how funny!! I had my midwife ask me about it at todays appointment as well..

My list hasn't moved from the desk... but I did manage to get together a few toiletries today, small things of shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, hair ties...

Maybe tomorrow, I will get some more done

I decided that I am too tired to think about packing the bag or to decide what goes in it until after I finish work in 2 weeks time. Same with baby's room. Someone asked me what I would do if it came early, I simly said "it can't be early, I wont be ready".

I figured keeping the mental health intact is more important.

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!
