Now that I’m officially 9 months pregnant, I have all my ducks in a row + packed up my hospital bag, Devin’s + mini’s diaper bag so we’re ready to go! Knowing that I can go into labor at any moment is both terrifying + exciting, but I feel a lot better knowing our bags are packed + we can bolt out of the door on the big day!
When it came to packing my bag, I wanted to make sure I had everything to make me as comfortable as possible while in the hospital. Here is a list of essentials I’m bringing with me:
