39 weeks and 5 days. wowza. after the 1st trimester, time just does its own thing and this 5th round was no different. however, we are ready, ready now. well, at least baby girl and i are. Sonny doesn’t start packing until i start contracting, but this is his 5th rodeo too so what can i say lol! give the video a listen; i listed my hospital bag essentials out below and tagged as much as i could to my LTK shop.

hospital essentials list for baby #5

overnight bag
phone charger & camera battery
Nikon camera
toiletries (i start applying nipple balm while we’re at the hospital but my milk usually comes in the day after we get home
shower slides
fuzzy socks
hair bonnet
nursing camisoles (i prefer these over bras because they double as tanks in case we have visitors)
Newborn Nest robe for Mama
going home outfit by Freely @ Academy
snacks! (our hospital has great food though which is one of the reasons we love delivering there.)
My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow
newborn going home outfit
matching socks & bows
name sign
Solly Baby sleeper set
Newborn Nest (comes with newborn gown, hospital crib sheet, swaddle, headband and the print matches my robe so we’ll be twinsies💜💜)

i depend on the hospital for most of my postpartum care including: birthing and postpartum gowns, peri bottles, demoplast spray, overnight pads, and those awesome disposable, mesh panties. baby is taken care of too and i bring the excess products home with us. i definitely overpacked for our 1st (and prolly our 2nd) but know the deal by now💪🏽. #packlight we also live about 15 min from the hospital so Sonny can run home (or across the street to Target) if need be!

i also posted this Reel to my IG, so give it some love and save it in your favorites if you found it helpful!
