Here is what is in our hospital bags.

Our L.L Bean bag was shared & recommended by another blogger & she definitely did not let me down. Not just for our hospital stay but long after this bag will be a staple in our busy life with two under two. So much space! I have our boppy pillow, two heavy blankets for mama & baby, Banks felt announcement sign & a door hanger, with plenty of room to spare.

I purchased my Vera Weekender for our hospital stay with Miles & it’s name fits perfect. The Weekender. It holds everything you would need for a 2-3 day stay anywhere. Even for a over packer like myself.

Our Marley Lilly diaper bag is actually my husbands favorite. He loves that the wipes are easy to access in the side pocket that includes a wipe holder with zipper pouch perfect for creams, lotions etc. I own several diaper bags & since becoming a mom a diaper bag is your new purse so they change with the seasons or mama’s mood. This was also the bag I purchased after picking our second boys name. I wanted something with both boys initials.

Jared is responsible for his own bag which will in fact take him three minutes to pack. For a week vacation he usually packs the night before in under thirty minutes. How? He says I over think packing but don’t all women? So this post is for all my fellow overthinking over packers. I hope this helps you!

Update on baby Banks. I am 37 weeks & 1 day. We had a check-up today & everything is progressing well. If he does not come on his own I will be scheduled a induction date at my next appointment. The countdown is officially on!
