WHAT'S IN MY HOSPITAL BAG!

HOW IS THIS ALREADY HAPPENING?!

OH. MY. GOD! I can't believe it's already time to write a blog like this one... Time flies by so fast and it's sort of scary! Although I say that I'm not anxious or nervous for my first time ever delivering a baby, when I truly sit there and think about it... I can't help but pee my pants a little! LOL!

This pregnancy is very special to my husband and I and I cannot believe that it's time to have our hospital bags packed and ready to go... We are beyond excited to meet our little girl inshAllah and we are both in shock that it can happen within the next 3 weeks already! It’s such a thrilling feeling just to wonder who she is, what she will look like, and how it’ll feel to hold what is ours. I'm currently 37.5 weeks pregnant and baby girl can decide to come any day now... So, I have everything packed and ready to go for her big debut and possibly the hardest day of my entire life! 😬🥴

I MAY BE GOING OVER-PREPARED!

Like many first-timers, I may be going over-prepared! I have no idea what to expect for my own experience and so I decided to bring whatever it is that seems right to me. If you already experienced labor and delivery, you may think a lot of what I'm bringing is unnecessary (and you're probably right), but I just found myself to be comfortable having these things packed just in case!

After my birth experience, I will work on another blog reflecting on what I actually needed and could've left at home for my hospital stay! And of course, I’ll share my birth story with you all!!!
