HOSPITAL BAG
My first child was born in May, so I brought SIX going home outfits to the hospital. Total overkill, but I was a first time mom and NYC weather is tricky in May! Both of us spent our four nights in the hospital wearing their standard issue gowns, kimono tops, and matching bottoms (diapers for him and mesh undies for me.)
Honestly, I didn’t mind the hospital grade wear because a) less laundry and b) easy access, but this time, I hope to do some things differently, like not wearing my husband’s sweatpants home from the hospital because I needed something roomier for my c-section recovery.
