My hospital bag and baby diaper bag

Sunday, July 27, 2014

Hi, Beautiful!

Officially, today is my last day of pregnancy!  I am getting induced tomorrow! So today I will share my hospital bag and diaper bag! I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures but I will go through everything I am going to take with me!

I have several diaper bags but the one that I'm going to carry this time is from Kate spade. 
So here is the picture of the content of the baby stuff!






Do you need any explanation? ;-)  I have 2 newborn onesies and 2 footed sleep wears.  Also I am just taking two 0-3months onesies as well.  Oh, and there is one outfit just in case they take a picture of her.  Otherwise, you can see what I packed for the baby..

For me, I have more stuff obviously.   And yeah, there were a lot to pack.  (Sorry, I don't have any pictures of them).
Toiletries, makeup (yes, I am taking makeup, I want to look good!), 2 sleep wear, 3-4 underwear, 2 nursing bras, going home outfit, socks, ipad, phone, camera, chargers, my brest nursing pillow, snacks, and hospital documents.  Also, importantly I am taking the Lansinoh nipple cream and the new mama bottom spray.  I think these will be very helpful afterwards. 


  

I am also taking some maxi pads but I am not taking any newborn diapers.  I am not packing my own pillows, towels, or baby wipes.  I am going to use what hospital provides.   
Since I live only 5 minutes away from the hospital, my husband won't pack anything probably except for his ipad. 
Since I am a first mom, I am not sure what I am missing or even exactly what I need to pack.  Though, I will update with you guys what was really helpful during the hospital stay.

Thanks for reading, have a good weekend!

Love, Jo



38 weeks pregnant

38 weeks pregnant...

I really wish I had started this blog a lot sooner.  I really wanted to document  every little things about my first pregnancy with Brynn but things didn't work out as I hoped...(excuses and excuses..)
I started a new job in early December and several days later, I found out that I was pregnant! what a timing right?  It was hard enough to get used to the new job but on top of that, I had to deal with the horrible first trimester symptoms! (which lasted until 20th weeks!)

Anyhow, I am 38 5days pregnant and I can't believe that I will see her very soon.  I just stared my maternity leave this week due to too much leg swelling and too much stress from work.. Also, I am getting induced on the first day of my 39 weeks! Other than that I have been feeling pretty good.  The anticipation is quite hard though.  As a first mom, every little contraction worries me, thinking that I might go into labor.

Side view - Literally looks like a basketball!

Front view! ;)
During this pregnancy, I have been craving a lot of french fries, haha, because I've never crave french fries.  Still eating copious amount of fruits and vegetables though!
Sleeping is quite hard and I can't wait to sleep on my back again!

It is really getting close! I will see my baby in several days!
Again, I missed the whole journey of my pregnancy but I can't wait to share the parenthood and my baby stories here!

Thanks for reading!

Love, Jo
