But for some reason, this area has remained a mystery to me over the years. It never fails that once I am admitted I think of a million things I wish I would have packed and after the baby I am contantly sending my husband to the store or back home to bring me items I forgot.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to use my blog to ask for help. What do you bring to the hospital when you are having a baby? What items can&#8217;t you live without? Share your secrets with me so I can have this baby without constantly thinking I am forgetting something.<\/p>\n<p>My bags are halfway packed and sitting in my room just waiting to be filled with all your great ideas!<\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks for all the great ideas ladies, keep &#8217;em coming!
