WhAt'S iN bRiGhToNs BaG?

with D day just around the corner- at least it has been feeling like it a lot more lately. these crazy braxton hicks are getting me thinking "could this be it?!" sadly not yet- but it is getting close. i dropped about 2 weeks ago & i can feel all the changes that my body is making getting ready for delivery. today i have one of those "oh so fun appointments" -where they start checking you out & not just measuring your belly anymore...i am not looking forward to this AT ALL. the only news i am hoping to hear is "wow she could be here any day!" chances of that happening i know are slim with 3.5 weeks to go but i can still wish!

but like i said my body is getting there & so it is always good to be prepared & have those bags packed! todays post is just on brightons bag because well- hers is the only one ready! we will work on mine another day.

DiApEr BaG- (coach)

so with my diaper bag i literally took the plunge & went all out! i was on the hunt for the CUTEST bag of all & i didnt care how much it cost- jake probably cared but then again who is he to talk when the hubby spends hundreds on bike parts! & so i was lucky enough to find my diaper bag this summer. i picked ivory because of the timeless look it has & also it will always go with whatever i am wearing. i seriously cant wait to start using this thing!!!

bLaNkEtS-

this is one of my favorite blankets for brighton. it is sooooo soft! i know she is going to love it. my mom ((brightons grammie)) bought her this & i know it will definitely keep brighton warm on the way home from the hospital.

DiApErS & WiPeS-

not much to say about these except youre going to want to have them on hand, always! i know the hospital supplies you with diapers & wipes for the baby while you are there so you wont need to bring a lot!

SoOtHeRs-

growing up i always knew these by mi-mi's or paci's & now in our home we will call them "mute buttons" jake & i found these soothers at target the other day & had to buy them. the other says "pull to sound alarm"

GoInG hOmE oUtFiT-

i didnt pack a lot of clothes- if she needs more for some reason we ((jake)) can run home & pick some up. i packed her a going home outfit along with a onesie, socks, beanie & a swaddle blanket. it is freaking freezing here right now so i may need to go get her something else to keep her warmer.

CaRsEaT- (BRITAX)

i would hate to forget the carseat because if you dont have one- you cant take your baby home! make sure this is on the top of your list mommas. i researched carseats & strollers for a good long while because there are SOOO many to choose from but i finally found one that i loved because of how safe it was from reading reviews. when jake & i were trying to figure out how to use it, it took us about 15 minutes but once we figured it out it really is the easiest thing! i love that it is not super heavy either...a lot of carseats weigh so much & this one is heavy duty but you dont feel like you are carrying around a sack of bricks. the carseat cover was made by a friend...i love the chevron stripes. it is perfect for the spring & summer!

as for other mommies out there that have been there & done that- is there anything that i am forgetting that i should for sure think to bring for brighton?
