The ultimate hospital bag checklist

When I was pregnant with my now 2-year-old daughter, I was given so much advice I thought my head could explode. And the one thing friends and family harped on was making sure I packed my bag for the hospital at least a month before my due date.
So I listened and packed my special bag. I made sure I had the "going home" outfit for the baby, pajamas, a robe, slippers, camera — you name it, I packed it. Maggie decided to come 11 days early and although I had most of my bag packed, I threw in last-minute essentials.
Of course there were things I forgot — my hair dryer, a T-shirt because the hospital was so warm, my phone charger — all things my husband was able to bring up to the hospital since we lived a few miles away.
