hospital bag?

So im 7mo and decided to wash babies clothes and make a hospital bag for her and me :) what do I need to pack for her besides clothes, toiletries, socks, blankets, shoes(for my enjoyment haha) I also packed some diapers but im not sure if the hospitals in cali provide them or not? Any helpful things I should pack for baby or me? Any help appreciated! :)

Wow Laura your list is great. I would also just add shower shoes and some form of entertainment (magazines, laptop w/DVDs )

That's true :) when are you due? In san diego they have huge beds that are comfy in labor and delivery so hopefully it'll be somewhat comfy. But i hear when im due in september its a high birth month so some people have to share rooms. I hope I get my own because im sure I'll be vocal haaha

My dr told me the baby can just be swaddled at the hospital or i. Can dress her in comfy clothes :) i brought some onsies and sleepers! I got my baby girl so I am dying to dress her cute little butt. Thank you for the awesome hospital list also! I knew I was forgetting stuff :) ive got a medium sized duffle bag partially fullw ith my stuff but baby leah's bag is stuffed! And some of her things are pouring into my bag. All her clothes are as much as my husband and I have put together for clothes. It's crazy haha. Should I bring my own pillow/blanket? O.o
