inside our hospital bags {mom + baby}
every minute of every day lately, i am expecting to go into labor. i feel different lately and just feel like he’s coming… however, i have never done this before! so really, who knows! here are some things gathered and given for our special little one. this whole process- carrying a little life- is a journey in waiting and slowing down. something i was finally able to do this week and some last week – although my parents and i kept pretty busy running errands and enjoying charlotte. however, for this ability to rest prior, i am very thankful. i am just taking each step as it comes and am trusting that God will carry all of us with grace.
for mom:
a floral robe
grip socks
flip flops
a massager
essential oils {lavender and frankincense}
camelbak water bottle
pajamas
nursing tanks
non-scented lotion
a diffuser
polaroid camera
lululemon wrap
slippers
sneakers
for our baby:
natural pacifier
muslin swaddle blankets
onesies {one with bengal tigers in case he comes saturday- go cincinnati}
a few going home outfits [both newborn and 0-3 month}
socks
coconut oil from trader joe’s
mittens
knit booties
hats
his new diaper bag {thanks mom and dad!! my dream bag}
nikon camera
a boppy

anything you would add?

You're ready, mama! And nipple cream, while it sounds weird, is wonderful. Definitely a life saver! Rest up and enjoy your last days as a family of two! Xoxo

Hope everything goes well. I know we have never met, but as a fellow Peony and a Charlotte-dweller, please let me know if you need anything!

I got that same diffuser for Christmas. I love the look of it. This is all so exciting. I hope you don't have to wait much longer.
