the hospital bag

Now packing our hospital bag... 

Any time now, we can rush to the hosp. Although we want Zion to come out full term (37-40weeks), we just need to get things ready and handy--enough for Gen to pull that bag when the "appointed" time comes! 

I was told I have to prepare three (3) bags: a small body bag for hubby; mine and hubby's bag; and the baby's bag

A. Hubby's small body bag
__hospital package card/birth plan
__money/wallet (ID's--PhilHealth, SSS & other cards)
__for the wife: lip balm, towelette, elastic band, comb
__phone headset (music to relax)
__candies

B. Mine and Hubby's Bag
We could be staying at the hosp for 2-3 days (as included in the package);  We need a bag-some of essentials; and I am in nowhere ready yet: 
__old shirt (for the discharge on the car going to the hosp)
__lotion for back rubs
__hot/cold compress

__camera
__notepad/journal (would prefer my phone notes app)
