Thing to Do No.9: Make a Hospital List

Earlier this week, the Colonel and I started making our list of things to take to the hospital. I think the top items on each say a lot about us:

The Colonel:
1) Laptop and iphone. We are due the weekend of the UGA/FL game, although, I'm afraid its outcome is a foregone conclusion. Hopefully, we will have a baby that weekend, and the Colonel will have something to cheer him up.
2) Gatorade
3) Cookies

Holly:
1) Coordinating pre- and post-partum outfits. I bought a special labor skirt because, again, as I've told you, I am not wearing a hospital gown. No way.
2) Makeup. Just the bare necessities, but I still have nightmares about those women we've seen on the birthing videos, and I firmly believe a little lipstick is good for everyone.
3) A sharpie marker to write "DO NOT CUT HERE OR I WILL SUE YOU AND I AM A LAWYER" on my inner thigh. This, I think, will endear me to the doctor or midwife.

A few days later, it occurred to me we might need a few items for the baby. I think this is where all those outfits my mom and sister have been buying come in. I'm pretty sure the hospital will give us (read "charge us") for everything else. I've been advised to steal everything from the hospital we can get our hands on, so I suppose we'll also have to pack a collapsible "SWAG" duffle.

So far, I've got most of my toiletries together, but I just can't decide whether I will want my moisturizer with SPF or just regular moisturizer. Even if I'm not going outdoors, I just don't know that I'd feel right without wearing sunscreen.
