we have bags to pack

even though my original due date is 8 sep, i am now operating on a mindset that i am actually due in august. my OB says i can give birth as early as 9 aug.

so, just in case baby kr decides to come out earlier than expected, we began preparing our hospital bags. and as recommended by fellow moms and first-time parents, each of us has to prepare a bag.

for baby kr's bag, these should be the contents (i have already checked with my OB):

lots of baby blankets
tie side shirts
jumper/frogsuits
cotton balls
diapers for newborn
mittens
booties
bonnets
(note: Medical City will provide baby's toiletries)

for the baby daddy (edited as well):

change of clothes
underwear
pantulog
toiletries
bath towel
slippers
pillows and blanket
digital camera (with SD card and battery, charger)
mobile, charger

we should also not forget to bring these:

photocopy of marriage certificate
Medical City admission form; patient information form
Philhealth form
baby record book (for hand/foot prints, visitor's log, etc.)

19 july update: per our OB, the coach (in this case, k) should bring 1 empty bag with a bonnet and camera to the delivery room. the empty bag to hold my personal belongings (the ones i will take off); the bonnet to cover baby kr's head right after delivery; and a camera to capture all precious moments. she also reminded me not to bring any valuables into the delivery room as these may get lost. bring only stuff you can afford to lose (no jewelry and watches, antique rosaries nor books). pls. note that i also took out the feeding bottles from the baby bag - our ob says we are encouraged to strictly breastfeed. :)
we're almost ready to go, but please baby don't come too soon! :)
