Evie is Ready to Go!

Well, I finished packing Evie's stuff that we need to take to the hospital. I packed all of the suggestions that my friend Miriam gave and I added some which I thought are necessary. Here are the things she need and are ready to be grabbed anytime we get the "GO" signal from our little princess:

READY TO GO!

  • 3 diapers and a pack of wipes (we were informed that the hospital will provide these...this is only for the "just in case" situations specially on our way home with her
  • 2 going home outfit (we only need one, but we'll see which one we like best for her to wear)
  • 2 receiving blankets (one for picture taking, one for practical use)
  • 3 pacifiers (items are sterilized and packed them in a small plastic bowl with cover that was also sterilized)
  • nail clippers / small nail file
  • 3 onesies (hospital will also provide, but, "just in case"
  • 3 mittens & 3 socks (these were not suggested but I deemed she needs it because it will be too cold in the hospital)
  • 2 hats (to protect her very sensitive head/forehead)
I think I packed in excess, LOL.

Packing Stuff and Childbirth Class

Packing Things
I decided to start packing the things we need to bring to the hospital today. I am quite grateful for the tips I got from my friend Miriam, who is a mother of two adorable girls! I thought of packing Evie's necessities first, and if I have enough time today, I will also load the stuff my husband and I need.

Later, I will post the things that I packed.


Childbirth Class
Our childbirth class will start tonight from 6:30 to 9 at the Banner Gateway Medical Center. It's the same hospital where I will have our baby delivered. My husband paid $70 for the class. We were asked to bring 4 pieces of pillows and the baby book we got from our OB/GYN office. It will be a series of class, so we need to go back tomorrow at 9 in the morning and should end at 1 in the afternoon. I presume that the hospital tour will be done tomorrow too since it would be too late for tonight. I look forward for the vital pregnancy information that we can get from the class. I am pretty sure it will help a lot during my labor and delivery as Miriam, Jenny, and the OB said.

My husband should be home around 5:30 this afternoon, so I had to prepare the things we need to bring before he's here.

I will be writing my childbirth class on my blog. :)
