The Expectant Father and my doctor’s check up book both tell me that I should be packing the hospital bag just about now. obedient reader that I am, I am packing. One bag for mummy (and daddy) and another bag for the little one coming.
Have decided that my long-standing Neil Pryde messenger bag will be our baby bag stand-in until we decide we really want another bag for baby. it is comfy, sturdy and roomy, and does NOT look like a baby bag. In it we have placed
~ a change of clothers (tie-side top, shorts, booties, mittens and bonnet)
~ a pack of Pampers brand newborn nappies. We also bought a pack of EQ since the salesgirl at SM said that was their most popular brand. But for some reason the pampers one appeals to me better)
~ cotton balls (in lieu of wet wipes)
~ receiving blanket
~ little bottle of alcohol (germs! germs!)
In my bag (which happens to be another Neil Pryde bag --a skid-proof, water resistant sailing duffel—both were freebies when I covered the Philippine Hobie Challenge before I moved to Cebu)
~ my cotton kimono
~ pajama set with overlap top
~ my 8 year-old Habagat toiletry kit with my usual weekend supplies (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, cotton buds, hair ties, body wash etc. )
~ pack of modess brand overnight feminine pads
~ bra & knickers
~ comfy Guess? gym pants
~ cotton button down polo
~ contact lens case & fluid
~ tshirt and spare boxers for BBB
being a veteran of "your flight/ferry leaves tomorrow" means my toiletry kit is half packed most of the time and i can pack with utter lucidity and minimum weight. but notice the number of items for mummy versus baby. Its true. let’s start life simpler, shall we?
