Just be careful with the hard candy ( putting on my mom voice now) you don't want to be sucking, panting and blowing and have the thing in your wind pipe!!!<BR/>( I know I know...

Everything else can be cold and messy, but it all seems so much more bearable with thick cozy socks.<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, I also enjoyed having jolly ranchers to suck on when the contractions made me queasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-32710914984448375522007-11-26T10:58:00.000-05:002007-11-26T10:58:00.000-05:00I have had three babies now, and I find my list of...I have had three babies now, and I find my list of things to pack gets shorter and shorter each time! One thing I ALWAYS brought with me was a large bottle of extremely fancy body wash--I'm partial to the Philosophy 3-in-1's. After getting all messy and sweaty, it feels so good to get into a hot steamy shower with mountains of sweetly-scented bubbles. Oh, and don't forget a razor! Last time I thought I wouldn't need one since I was planning on coming home as soon as they'd let me go. Big mistake! I ended up staying there 4 days due to Lyla's jaundice. Big, stubbly mistake!Mommy Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577737338545916359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-8156561662973611352007-11-26T09:19:00.000-05:002007-11-26T09:19:00.000-05:00I'm going to save this list.

Luckily, I had mentally planned it so I had least had the basics! I like the idea of having the sparkling cider! Oh, and don't forget a prayerbook or Bible. I know having mine (and my Rosary) was quite helpful!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397886444398204729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-69882550442458987972007-11-26T07:17:00.000-05:002007-11-26T07:17:00.000-05:00What a useful list.What a useful list.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632534063802295379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-26010670258326875532007-11-25T19:46:00.000-05:002007-11-25T19:46:00.000-05:00Hi Meg!Thanks for reminding me!

It will be perfect for the ride home!<BR/><BR/>I didn't even think of that, XK! That was a problem last time, if I recall! ;)MamaBirdEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953172914077823820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-19290408833582885512007-11-25T19:21:00.000-05:002007-11-25T19:21:00.000-05:00BREATH MINTS or breath-bettering gum!

OR when you've been awake for 16+ hours in the hospital and you can't remember the last time you even brushed your teeth. :)Xenia Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880128865699100105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-9575282100685273502007-11-25T17:36:00.000-05:002007-11-25T17:36:00.000-05:00Don't forget winter wrappings for the baby!

What about what we used to call "receiving blankets," those thin flannel blankets that are so good for swaddling a baby? (Swaddling is considered old-fashioned, but sometimes it settles them right down -- heaven alone knows why.)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538925473636719361noreply@blogger.com
