e had both our sons during COVID and couldn’t attend a hospital tour where perhaps we may have learned that our hospital (through a vendor) provides newborn photos!

There are TONS of hospital bag checklist. When preparing my bag, I wanted it to be simple and essential.  So I wondered, “what do I REALLY needed. Here is what I packed (and didn’t pack) in my hospital bag. My bag was packed at 36 weeks, and I went into labor at 38 and 39 weeks with my boys. I included an (*) symbol on items we did not end up using with either delivery, but packed just in case.
