Hospital bags!

I will start out with Madison's hospital bag! It is all packed and should be in the car... lol but I'm slacking a little , it will be in there soon..... now to get started!


Receiving blankets: to wrap her up in, of course! we're also going to pack one someone gave us from when they had their child to send home with her scent on it for the dogs so they can get use to her smell before they actually meet in person!
mittens: so she can't scratch her precious little face
hats & socks: We all know how cold hospitals are, I don't want her little self to be chilly!




three outfits
: we have one of each size (nb & 0-3 months) sleepers with feet and sleepers with open bottoms and then onsies with little pants that match... no these are not her coming home outfits... we're still undecided... everyone tells me not to bring all of these clothes, but I think I feel better bringing them just in case
headbands: just in case ;)



comb & brush: just in case she has hair
nail clippers: I've read blogs that say DO and blogs that say DO NOT bring these with you, so for b
etter safe then sorry I'm just going to pack them in her diaper bag and we will have them reguardless
Vaseline: I have read on a few blogs it makes the first few poopy changes easier! 
Desitin: just in case! also an item to keep in her diaper bag
Booger sucker: or nasal aspiration whatever you call it... not really sure why I am bring this...
hand sanitizer: EVERYONE MUST WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING THE BABY, so in case they can't get to a sink right away because of the rush of the moment we will have this!
pacis: I've read the hospital will have them for you, but you never know what kind the baby will or won't like



and of course last but not least we have her car seat in the truck. We are also going to bring her boppy pillow for late night feedings!

Now to get on to my bag, which does not have much in it right now I still have things to get but lets get started...
Toiletries:
-shampoo/conditioner
-toothpaste/brush
-body wash
-face wash
-CARMEX: I have heard this is a MUST have!
-hand sanitizer wipes
Random:
-socks
-pants... black pants
-tank top
-phone numbers of people to call
-camera

That's all that is in my bag, obviously I have a few more things I need to pack. There are somethings we will get before we head out the door ie. phone chargers, camera cords, laptop, and all that fancy jazz.




look-a-likes

Not to toot our own horns or anything like that..... but I would have to say we were some pretty dang cute kiddos!



Now to get to some of the Madison might have, might be's:



ZERO to NO hair, or its so blond that you can't even tell she has any hair

PJ weighed 8 pounds and 14 oz and was 2 weeks late, I weighed 6 pounds and 15 oz and was 6 weeks early. So I am going to say we're countin on a 8 pound baby.. maybe even 9. 


She could possibly be a long baby considering we are both over 5'7"


light or dark eyes... I have green and he has light brown


she will probably have funky eye brows when she is older, both of us have terrible eye brows, LOL


Hmm... I think that is all I can think of...

OH and she will have the worst attitude ever... both momma and dadda are hot headed!


Next on the blog! What we packed in our hospital bag and the nursery!!

baby, baby, baby

Considering I have much time on my hands I thought I would start up a blog for our daughter Madison! With most of our family being pretty far away from us this would be the perfect way to share all the interesting things that happen in our baby girls life! Facebook only goes so far ;) lol, Hope everyone enjoys, expect lots and LOTS of pictures!
