I’m so so glad that when I first wrote a hospital bag post for my first baby, I went back and edited the post for what I used and didn’t use! Sometimes blogging definitely has its perks, like now when I’m getting ready for this baby to arrive! I’ll be bringing many of the same items I brought to the hospital the first time around.
