- Hollis Weekender Bag – This is my favorite travel bag! I’ve had it for years and it fits so much inside. They just came out with a new color in hot pink here.
- Makeup Bag – Matching makeup bag with the weekender bag. I love that it comes with a makeup brush holder inside.
- Robe – My absolute favorite robe is this one from Splendid! It’s softer than Barefoot Dreams. It comes in a pink and an oatmeal color.
- Nursing Bras – I love how soft these ones are from Amazon. They come in a pack of 5 with nude, pink, white, black and grey colors.
- Nightgown – I’m planning on wearing the hospital’s gown but after birth for pictures and just to feel pretty, I really like this pink one from Dillard’s. It comes in a shorter version here.
- Headband – Planning to wear this when giving birth to keep my hair out of the way.
- Baby Journal & Pen – I’ve loved writing letters to our little girl in this journal and plan to write something while in the hospital.
- Slippers – These are great from Walmart!
- Fuzzy Socks
- Pillow from home
- Boppy Pillow – For nursing. Not sure if I’ll use it while at the hospital.
