we have the bottle drying rack and lap pads as well (but i do want to grab more of those).

also have the baby food storage thing from Skip Hop - once we get to THAT point...(told ya - i'm insane).

once i decide about the boppy versus brest friend - i'll grab another cover for the boppy....i truly don't know which one will be better for me...



Jess - Since you are *ahem* like me and well endowed, I have a feeling you will find the My Breast Friend to be much easier and much more comfortable then the boppy pillow. I could never find a comfortable position with the boppy, and the Breast Friend was SO much better.



hmmmmmm - do you mean that we come from the planet LARGE TATAS??? Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Only thing I can tell you that you will need more of is newborn diapers. DD went through a case of 96 in less than a week! You will not believe the amount of diapers that you will go through!

This may have been mentioned, but just in case it wasn't.

You should get yourself a small, squeezeable water bottle type of thing to clean yourself. You may bleed pretty heavily and it helps to clean yourself.

The hospital will have a whole kit for you to take home with you to take care of yourself which will include one of those bottles.

And yes honey... we do come from that very same planet! Chat Icon Chat Icon Have I mentioned how excited I am for you????

Jess I dont know if you want the bother but I just used cotton wool - the largest ones I could buy and water to wipe DD's bottom for the first few months - I didnt use any wipes. If you decide to do this just stock up on lots of cotton wool and a small plastic bowl for your water.

Calling card for the hospital unless you plan on using yoru cell phone.

Flip flops for the hospital showers.

You are WAY more organised than I ever was or ever will be and I consider myself to be organised! Lots and lots of luck to youChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
