uckily for me I am one of these people that can eat the same thing every day and enjoy it. I have practiced meal planning for over a decade on and off and find it so convenient and affordable that I don’t mind the repetition one bit. I alternate my meals each week and don’t have it to an exact science. Meaning, sometimes I don’t have time to meal prep and instead wing it or check the freezer for something I’ve batched cooked before like a big batch of soup.

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.
