For baby:
2 receiving blankets
preemie outfit
4 newborn sleepers
a gown
Picture outfit
coming home outfit
carseat
nail clippers and nail file
pacifier
hairbrush amd comb
travel sized baby shampoo, lotion amd powder (hospital will provide but just in case)
baby book
gas drops

For me:
Pillow
blanket
towel
pads
robe
travel size shampoo conditioner and body wash
loofah
toothbrush and toothpaste
medical card
3 outfits
night clothes (pants and shorts)
2 pairs non skid socks
flip flops for the shower
hairbrush and hair dryer
coupons for fast food after delivery
Puzzle book in case slow labor

For daddy:
Energy drinks
toothbrush
pillow
blanket
two outfits
night outfit

Most of this probably won't get used but I'd rather be over packed than under packed.
