Yes, I know there are still many, many days until my little guy's due, but I'm an obsessive compulsive list maker. :-D So I figured why not start now. If anyone else has any suggestions, please share!

13 Things on my Hospital Bag List

  1. Travel size assortment of toiletries
    When I told my husband today that he had to get a travel size toothbrush and deodorant today, he told me that he would just add his stuff to the bag when the time came. I laughed at him and we left the store with travel size stuff for him too. Silly husband! With Nicky I didn't even get to go get my bag! I was at work when they called me and told me I HAD to come to the hospital RIGHT THEN because of the test for pre-eclampsia they'd just run…even though it sat there all day until I called them to find out the results and they remembered to actually do it.
  2. A robe
    How can you go to the hospital without a robe? Mine is fuzzy and pink.
  3. Slippers
    Yes, they match the robe.
  4. Pre-paid phone card
    I think we somehow managed not to get this last time. That was pretty lame considering the only way to call DH's parents in Denmark is with a phone card.
  5. Ibuprofen
    It's a hospital…but last time DH got a headache and there was none to be had.
  6. Binkies
    We didn't have these last time either. I wasn't aware that most hospitals have them. Doh! We're taking them anyway just to be sure.
  7. Finn's Carseat
    Can't leave the hospital without it. :-D
  8. Finn's Coming Home Outfit
    So darn cute!
  9. Pony tail holders
    Cause when your working hard you sure don't want your hair in your face!
  10. Gum
    Because nothing is worse than being denied water when you're working your booty off. Stupid rule that one!!! And I have somewhat of an addiction to drinking water. Even if my body doesn't need fluid I drink a ton of it. Maybe gum will at least keep my mouth from drying out cause me and those ice chips they don't jive.
  11. Camera
    For totally cute baby pictures.
  12. Glasses
    In case they make me take my contacts out. If I can find the darn things…
  13. Comfy lounge clothes
    Cause nothings worse than feeling crumby and having uncomfy clothes!

You are SET. The only thing I'd include is something to read. I did NOT sleep well in the hospital, so I'd read most of the night.

I'd add reading material or an iPod to the list!

No reading material?

Otherwise, it sounds like you're all set. :)

You are well prepared!

I don't get that no aspirin at the hospital thing. When Ladybug was being born on night two of labor at 2am my son had a terrible toothache (was an abscess). He had to actually leave and go find an all night 7-11 to get some pain reliever!

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
