What's in my hospital bag?

I will officially be 36 weeks pregnant in 2 days, But today, our countdown is at 30 days! And with braxton hick contractions getting stronger and stronger, I figured it was probably that time I should pack my hospital labor bag, and delivery bag so we are ready to go at any moment! And I thought, I might share in case others are curious on what I packed, or are just wanting an idea for when they pack theirs. So, here it goes!
(Note: our hospital provides nearly everything for the baby, all we are required to bring is a car seat, everything else is optional! They also provide most of the toiletry's for mom and unlimited gowns for the 48 hour required stay after baby is born. The carseat is not pictured also, but its definitely an important item!)

                                                                      Labor Bag

My labor bag is all the things I will need before the baby is born, while I am in the hosptial, everything fits inside the red/white chevron drawstring bag. My items include; my favorite lollipops(Tootsie Pops!), Green tea infused with exotic fruits to help relax and calm me, slippers and non skid socks for walking the halls while laboring, a "thank you" card and candy bag for the nurses, and a small toiletry's bag with my favorite scented lotion, hair ties, a headband, and chapstick! (Not pictured; affirmation cards to read and remind me WHY I am in this position and remind me how wonderful it will be when our baby is in our arms!)


Baby Items

Inside my post delivery bag, I put the 2 baby items I am bringing. A minnie mouse sleeper, and matching hair bow, for all the cute "going home" pictures we will take! and her baby book, so they can stamp her feet in it while they do her birth certificate.


Toiletry Bag


Not everything in my toiletry bag is pictured, all my husbands items are packed away already. However, for me I have included shampoo, conditioner, body wash(also not pictured), toothbrush/paste, hair items, and femine products.

Completed Bag

All of my items and my husbands fit inside this AMAZING! weekender bag from thirty-one, with room left over! (Not pictured; my coming home outfit, stretchy sport shorts and tshirt for if I want to wear my own clothes in the hospital, husbands items, our phone chargers because we are using them now, and our DSLR camera Jonathan's mom gave us)
