Here's one more tip to keep in mind when packing: The hospital will provide everything the baby needs (diapers, wipes, shirts, blankets) Pack more for yourself than you do for the baby, and pack like you are taking a vacation. Think a relaxing vacation, with pampering products :0)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740374116969998808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557611736212635950.post-71365597050944278122011-05-30T13:28:13.511-07:002011-05-30T13:28:13.511-07:00This is a really good list.

I was in for 3 days with my son after I had him, and 45 minutes from home. I was somewhat prepared, but there are just some things I had wished someone would have told me might be needed!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740374116969998808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557611736212635950.post-19714983827664584782011-05-27T12:41:51.293-07:002011-05-27T12:41:51.293-07:00What a great idea!

One of the most thoughtful gifts I received came from a sweet lady from church who visited the week after we came home from the hospital--she brought a baby gift, plus a goodie bag full of girlie magazines, chocolate and really good decaf coffee. It was so sweet and thoughtful.MargaretBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888381459993722122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557611736212635950.post-13753809377751659312011-05-26T20:30:23.883-07:002011-05-26T20:30:23.883-07:00I LOVE this idea!!!

Telling me how cute he was-that like was like an instant "momma drug". I thought he was cute too! I felt weird telling other people how crazy I was about him and she instantly understood and joined me in my excitement. Don't underestimate the power of time and emotional support. I'll never forget it Susie!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378930369164083691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557611736212635950.post-39751538568210722342011-05-26T15:47:58.718-07:002011-05-26T15:47:58.718-07:00I love this idea!

I ended up having to stay in the hospital for a week and had to have my sister in law grab stuff from my house... If I had gotten a gift like the one you mentioned I would have been totally prepared and probably a bit happier as well! <br /><br />As far as how I feel about giving/receiving frugal gifts, I think they're great! It's not awkward to me at all. Sometimes they are even the BEST gifts because they are sometimes hand made which makes them even more special.
