What's in my diaper bag?

Now for the "What's In My Diaper Bag?" - Hospital Edition.  I have packed and repacked this bag about 100 times before I was finally satisfied with how it ended up.  I have the Skip Hop Grand Central Bag, I got it at Target back in April when it was on super duper clearance for $65 (I think), now it's back up to $90.  I wanted something that could double as a purse, without looking like a diaper bag.  First I'll break it down by compartments and sections, then by what's actually in the bag.



Currently I have nothing in here, but will end up adding tissue/booger wipes and hand sanitizer for the fall.




1. Gerber diapers (2) - to use for spit-up and all the other fun gunk that babies create.
2. Huggies diapers container
3. Outfits and socks (3) - see below for bigger picture
4. Receiving blankets (2) & Wubbanub Pacifier
5. Pacifier Wipes
6. Comb, Butt Cream, Pacifiers
7. Large Knit Receiving blanket
1. Carter's Little Man Outfit (0-3 Months; I picked this one)
2. Carter's Raccoon Sleeper (0-3 Months; Lennon picked this out)
3. Skull & Crossbones Onesie and Sweatpants from Target (Newborn; Daddy picked this one)
And socks of course... which HOLY HELL it took me almost the past 2 months to find some plain jane white socks for little boys.  Good grief.


Now since this is the hospital bag, I left out diapers.  I plan on stockpiling those babies when we leave the hospital when Maddox is born.  That and all the wipes, blankets, and booger suckers I can manage to stuff in this bag ;)

So what's in a bag?

Earlier this month I started my journey on Pinterest on what to pack in my hospital bag.  I know this is my 2nd pregnancy, but I barely remember what I packed in my bag with Lennon... probably because I packed it right after my water broke.  I do know I barely packed anything for ME!  And I'm important too god dammit... just not as cute as a new born babe.

So after searching, pinning, making my own lists, I finally decided what would be important on the big day.  Another big deciding factor was I found out that unless I have major complications (or an unplanned c-section), we'd only be in the hospital 24 hours after delivery.

Below is what I finally decided to pack in my hot pink VS bag.

1. Beauty Supplies (listed below)
2. 2 pairs of comfy socks
3. Grey sweat pants and black leggings
4. Make-Up bag (listed below)
5. 2 nursing tank tops
6. 3 pairs of panties I don't mind ruining
7. Breastfeeding Supplies

{Nursing Essentials}

So that's all that's in my bag!  I plan on putting some snacks in there for Adrian and myself while I'm laboring (and for afterwards) and maybe my nursing pillow.  As well as a lightweight hoody and a button up flannel to wear home, OH and flip-flops!  I'm also going to be bringing my own pads, I don't know about you but I don't feel like I grew 4" while sitting from the huge ass hospital pads.  Also I'm nixing the oh-so-sexy mesh panties *rawr*
