What's in my Hospital Bag?



Firstly, I can honestly say that I had no clue what to pack for me or my son. I looked up a few good sites that list everything from essentials to what to pack for your significant other. 

This one is a good list of the essentials: http://pregnant.thebump.com  

I decided that simpler and less stressful would be the best packing plan for me. 

Documents:
-Insurance card
-ID
-Birth Plan
-Power of Attorney documentation
