The last thing you want to worry about when you go into labor, is trying to frame out what items you need to put in your hospital bag and trying to hunt them down before dashing to the hospital. Ideally you should have your hospital bag packed and waiting by the door by at least 2 weeks before your due date. That way, when the time is right, you can grab your bag and go without any last limited delays or worries.
It is beneficial to have 2 bags for yourself: one for labor and one for your hospital stay afterwards together with your baby item essentials. It is also helpful to have your labor partner pack a bag in develop for themselves and some helpful labor items.

If you are finding for baby gifts to make but are bored with the acceptable blanket and baby booties, here are five unique and unusual (yet still functional!) gifts to originate that would be perfect baby shower gifts.
Time Capsule - Don't you wish someone had made you a time capsule of things from the year you were born? procure newspaper and magazine clippings of current events, trends and fashion, a small toy from the most current hot children's movie and last, but not least, take photos of their home and their city! Document their neighborhood, take snapshots at the local grocery store, the post office, cars on the street, the local school, the front of their house, their parents and their family! contain notes from house members and a extra letter from you introducing them to the world. procure it all and put it in a ornamental wooden keepsake box, leaving some room for the parents to add some things of their own. Just think what a treasure this will be when they are your age!
Padded Mat - No, it isn't just other boring blanket! This time, originate an extra thick and padded blanket, a cushy outside that will be perfect for tummy time, even on hardwood floors. Get creative with it and add "activity" toys to it, such as detachable soft toys, flaps that hide absorbing pictures and small ribbon tags. You could even line the bottom with waterproof Pul fabric which will turn it into the perfect outside on wet grass park blanket.
Name Blocks - buy adequate blank wooden blocks at a craft store to spell out baby's name. Decorate each block with the letter an/or images that start with that letter. You could paint with non-toxic acrylic paint, decoupage with paper or fabric or wood burn your design. For organize ideas, look at the crib bedding set that the parents registered for and use the same theme or color task on your blocks.
Mix Cd - Make baby a mix Cd? Yes! originate a mix Cd of soothing music, classical is an certain selection but get creative with music in your variety or check out iTunes for lullaby ideas. Alternatively, a fun and upbeat mix of baby cordial music might be just the thing! Face it, most music marketed towards babies is terrible and many parents would love to have a "normal music" Cd to listen to that is still baby friendly.
Handmade Books - You can buy blank board books that are the perfect canvas for your own stories! If baby will live far away from extended family, originate a story using real photos of house members so that baby can get to know them. Or, originate a funny story about the house pet, your own version of an alphabet book, a picture book with dissimilar kinds of cars or butterflies, etc. Draw your own or originate collages from actual photographs or magazine pictures.
