My mom had to pack it for me, and I kept having to send my husband home for missing stuff (i.e. deoderant.) So it might be a good idea to pack it! But once you have your baby none of it will matter anyway. All the stress you're feeling right now will be a foggy distant memory!Rasman Toeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11169099221660140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884828679653672684.post-61768148730551689862011-03-19T15:55:03.711-06:002011-03-19T15:55:03.711-06:00It's like being engaged, your life is in compl...It's like being engaged, your life is in complete limbo. Except the end of pregnancy is even worse than engagement because you don't know the actual date. <br /><br />I was induced with my first two for medical purposes. With Anne the doctor told me to head straight to the hospital because I was at a 5 and in labor. I had to go home and pack my hospital bag and straighten things up.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675039954501623258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884828679653672684.post-36127428758199667472011-03-18T22:22:44.311-06:002011-03-18T22:22:44.311-06:00I would clean constantly and shower at night just ...I would clean constantly and shower at night just in case labor hit...I wanted the house clean and my body. Well....baby #1 induced. Baby #2 induced. My plan worked. Baby #3, we were cleaning up from a party and I felt odd (yup labor)I didn't get a shower or have a clean house. Baby #4, my house was a mess from Papa visiting, Papa ended up babysitting overnight while I was in labor. Baby #5 I had just cooked a huge, complicated dinner and we didn't really clean up before going to the hospital (we thought we'd be right back).<br />With each one had the hospital bag packed by 36 weeks, a phone list on hand, route to the hospital, and my RS Pres on standby! I wanted to do this last labor natural like the previous one, but panicked when Nate had to leave me alone and opted for the epidural. <br /><br />The most important thing: that baby is healthy and arrives safely. Have your stuff ready to go, a route planned, and a close neighbor willing to babysit on short notice. It's ok if the house is messy, the labor hard, and your armpits hairy. Baby won't mind. You've done this 3 times, you can do it again! :) Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222366133759197560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884828679653672684.post-41561964554575682622011-03-18T10:19:18.890-06:002011-03-18T10:19:18.890-06:00"Ain't it great to be crazy..."

I just made sure that making ...i was the same way. I just made sure that making beds and cleaning house was the first thing I did in the morning... Unfortunately, my children thought it was a wonderful idea to announce their coming while I was sound asleep. Poor Victor would crawl out of bed so exhausted from the previous day's work and then I would have to remind him later to call his boss to let him know that he wasn't coming in...<br /><br />hang in thereRebecca's Oasishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352076151500202420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884828679653672684.post-40991759120010623962011-03-17T12:19:49.115-06:002011-03-17T12:19:49.115-06:00I feel the same way. I'm up all night thinking...I feel the same way. I'm up all night thinking about the hospital bag and if I should pack it now but that seems silly. Will I remember their take home outfits? Will I go into labor on my own this time (1st time) or will I have to be induced after all this scary bed rest? Will the pains start right during rush hour and it will take me 40 minutes to get to the hospital?<br />Yikes.... so many worries! I guess all that matters is that the baby is healthy and there are no complications right? If we don't get the beds made we can demand that be done by our good and faithful husbands before we have to come home and look at it ourselves!! Good luck! The end is near and it will be fabulous! Just wait and see....Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944146148862230431noreply@blogger.com
