hospital bag?!

I know I'm thinking so far ahead but Im a FTM and I've only just heard about having a hospital bag prepared for delivery day. Which I think is a great idea. To all the moms who have children already what would you say is the most important thing to have in your bag or maybe something you forgot and wish you had?

Chargers! I almost always forget the stupid charger for my phone and camera. Mainly because I am using it up until I leave. So this time I bought a cheap universal charger for the phone that I can put in the bag and leave there. :)

The two hospitals I've delivered at here kind of treat it like a hotel, so if there is anything you're missing, they can hook you up. The things they cant help with though for me is my mascara (for all those pics), my own hairbrush and toothbrush, granny panties! Because nothing else feels comfortable afterwards, some sort of stretchy pants and t-shirt to leave in, and of course.....camera.

I went out and bought little trial sizes of everything, shampoo, lotion, body wash and tooth brush.  That was its packed and I don't have to worry about taking stuff I'm still using.  Also packed snacks and juices for hubby and kids if needed and bought and washed a new set of pajamas for myself.
