    Procrastinating about packing hospital bags..

    Not sure why, but I know I am procrastinating about packing my hospital bags! I have DP and my mum nagging me to get started, but I just seem to keep finding other things to do.. (like posting on BB )

    I just dont know how much to pack, and I dont want to go overboard. I am going through a midwife program, so it is designed to be a short stay (literally overnight, if all goes well).

    Funny thing is I dont know why its an issue, as we are only 5 mins from hospy and DP can always pop home to get more if need be!!

    I am the same! Lol. I only thought about starting to pack it a couple of days ago...but like you we live literally 2 mins from the hospital so DF can always go back home for anything I need, and I don't really know what to pack. I don't particularly want to forget anything, but I don't want to look I'm going on an overseas holiday for 2 weeks either DF always complains I pack way too much when we go away for just a weekend! Lol

    At least now I have an excuse....the bag I need is full of DF's clothes and is still in his car from when he went to Melbourne last weekend. So I have to wait for him to unpack it before I can re-pack it. Seeing as it took me unpacking the cot from it's box and making an attempt to put it together, to get him to actually do it when I've been asking him for the last couple of weeks to set it up....I don't hold out high hopes for him unpacking the bag without me nagging me for at least a week about it!

    Glad its not just me I have started a list! DP just came home from work and asked me if I did it today.. it was also the last thing he said before he left this morning.. "make sure you pack your bags today". Nope still havent done it.

    I think your DF and DP must be very similar - we (being him.. and me nagging him to do it) only just got the cot done on the weekend finally!

    I've got the bag out, I've bought some stuff (eg. spare toothbrush, toothpaste etc so I can leave my regular ones out).... and I just can't bring myself to pack the bag!!!
