What's in my Hospital Bag baby #3?




I though it would help other moms to see what I packed this time for Labor & delivery of my 3rd child πŸ‘Ά. I feel like this time around I went very basic & simple, I think the first time I over packed so much and the second I downgraded a lot. I guess you learn from experience. The hospital I'm giving birth provides pretty much everything the baby & I need but as always is nice to have your own things. I'm having my second girl πŸ‘§ & delivering in a different hospital than my other two children. We did the tour since I had never being to that hospital besides a few trips to the ER with my kids.
I love planning & making list for everything so it was not different this time around, I got bags and divided things according to use. My husband wouldn't be staying with us over night but I did pack a few things for him too. I'm delivering in summer so notice the difference in season clothing and accessories.

Labor Bag: 
  1. Wet Wipes
  2. Face Wipes
  3. Glasses Case
  4. Lenses Case & Solution
  5. Glasses Cleaning Wipes
  6. Nursing Pads
  7. Eye Mask
  8. Sleep Spray
  9. Table Mirror
  10. Tooth Cleaning Brushes
  11. Hand Sanitizer
  12. Hair Tides & Headband
  13. Headphones
  14. Earplugs
  15. Lavender Oil
  16. Lip Balm (Earth Mama)
This is probably the first time I though of doing this & is my 3rd time, I though on making my husband life a bit easier & packing everything I may ask for while laboring in one bag so the poor thing doesn't have to go crazy finding anything on the bag. I will probably keep this in a table beside me instead of asking for one item at time.



Also continuing with my bag addiction πŸ˜‚ I made a shower & after shower ones, so when I go take a shower I just take my bag with me it is more convenient.



Shower Bag:
  1. Nursing Pads
  2. Shower Hat
  3. Razor
  4. Tooth Brush & Tooth Paste
  5. Body Wash & Shampoo combo
  6. Face Wash
  7. Flip flops
  8. Pad
Usually you are allow to shower the day after giving birth, I remember last time I asked right after giving birth & they didn't let me, specially if you get an epidural they like you to be able to stand for your self and walk a bit before showering. 



After Shower Bag:
  1. Secret Desodorant
  2. Coconut Oil
  3. Prenatal (Upspring)
  4. Dry Shampoo (not your mothers)
  5. Glasses Wipes
  6. Perfume
  7. Face Cream
  8. Hand & Body Lotion
  9. Hair Brush
  10. Hair Tides
  11. Cotton Tips
  12. Nail Clipper & File
  13. Tweezers

For me:
  1. Robe & Gown
  2. Nursing Bra (bamboobies)
  3. Under wear 
  4. belly band
  5. Caprie Yoga Pants 
  6. T-shirt 
  7. Flip Flops
  8. Comfy Dress
  9. Makeup ( I pack only a few things like BB cream, mascara, blush, a set of eye shadows and brushes)
I pack a pretty gown & robe this time around for pictures only, even though I want pictures with the hospital gown too I also want pretty pictures showing my new baby and a family picture. I also packed really comfy maternity undies & a tide shorts to put on top of them for going home. 


For Baby:
  1. Newborn Outfit 
  2. 0 to 3 months outfit
  3. Swaddle blanket
  4. Hat
  5. Pair of Socks
  6. Pair of Mittens
  7. Grooming Kit
  8. Pack of 18 Wipes
  9. Paci Clip
As you can see I have two different options for going home outfit in different sizes just incase, also each outfit has a matching bow mainly for pictures, the wipes are not usually provided by hospitals & to be honest I hate to clean butts with gaze & water, specially those first ones. Paci clip was so extra but usually the hospital give you a paci if you want it and I though on clipping it so it wouldn't get loss, the swaddle is also for pictures put also because it is summer it can be hot so putting a heavy blanket on the baby is a no no.

The hospital I'm giving birth provides everything baby & mom need during the stay, usually they also let you take home anything you didn't got to use, that includes Diapers, swaddle, paci, pads etc.



Extras:
  1. T-shirt for Dad
  2. Nursing Cover (milk snob cover)
  3. Carseat Cover (gray)
  4. Note book w/ pen
  5. baby book (ronica)
  6. Nuts for DadπŸ˜‚
  7. Snack bars for me (oat mama)
  8. Reusable Bag ( Incase I need more space yo pack things)
  9. Camera
  10. Chargers
  11. Noise Machine (not only helpful for baby but for me too)
  12. Siblings Gifts (They will stay in car until after deliver)
  13. Bump Book
  14. Phone
  15. Wallet
  16. Birth Plan
I'm just planning on taking that one bag but I may take whatever purse I'm using that day too, also forgot to mention I'm taking my Boppy Pillow too.

I hope this helps any mamas to be,
Angela

Starting a Business

It has been my dream to start my own business in the clothing & accessory industry. This year with the support of my family, I was able to start it. I started with one product & add as I go and learn more. The name was chosen in 2013 back when I used to make handmade crochet baby outfits as a hobby, I used to sell on Etsy and on my own facebook page but life got busy and I had to step down from my dream. When the opportunity to develop my dream on a bigger scale came I knew I wanted that name. The logo inspiration came from the back of our youngest hair, she has this hurricane of hair, like a galaxy. The colors from the earth and how I want all of you to feel when you were our products, happy, beautiful and like yourself. I didn't want to just create a business to gain from it, I want to give back too, each month we are choosing a different charity and donating 10% of the profit to them. My goal is to be able to one day sponsor a child from compassion ...
