? about bags for the hospital.
I hope I still have a while to go and I know if I have the girls early I really won't need anything for them there yet, but what all do I need to pack for my bag and the twins diaper bag? I can't even remember what all I needed before. I have thrown a few things in a bag for me just in case.
I have had one baby shower that work threw for me and I have another one August 9th so I hope I will have everything else I need after that.

Re: ? about bags for the hospital.
What all do you have in there now? Also, while you are at the hospital, make sure you use their diapers the whole time your there. When I had my twins, we left the hospital with soooo many diapers it wasn't even funny. If the bag was in our room unopened, we opened it, just so we knew it was ours...lol
I think there MIGHT be a list on one of the posted stickies about what to have in the diaper bag, not sure. Tell us what you have and we can help you remember if you've forgotten something.
I took their baby books for their teeny tiny feet prints.

Also make sure you have a note card for DH ( or yourself ) with everyone you want to call once the babies are here so you can share all the stats and how you all are doing or whatever. I used index cards for my DH. Also, even though this may not affect you like it did me, but you should take a pair of comfortable SLIP ON shoes for when you get releasesd. My feet and legs were so swollen after my twins were born, it was horrible and it took WEEKS for them to go back down to normal. Irritated the crap outta me. Hope this helps ya out some!!
