Do I have everything??

Do I have everything??

Ok well since I'm delivering here in two wks or god giving maybe less. :) I wanted to run down my list with you ladies to make sure I'm not forgetting anything that I need to buy... Also tell me if I'm missing anything from my hospital bags....
Here's what I got so far

Of course I got a
Crib
Crib sheets-3
Bassinet
Bassinet Sheets-3
Ton and tons of Bibs!!
Bottles-8
Pacifiers-3
Blankets and quilts-5
Lots of burp cloths
Lots of receiving blankets
Diapers-Over 200
NB onsies
0-3 Onsies
Plenty of outfits
Socks-6 pairs
Washcloths-10
Hooded Towels- 2
Car seat-2
Stroller
Plenty of sleepers
Baby monitor
Bottle cleaners
some little hats
Changing table

Thats all I can think of........... Am I missing something??

Also I'm packing my hospital bag this weekend. I'm not sure what to bring honestly....
Should I bring diapers? Or does the hospital provide those? I bring Just 1 going home outfit for her right? or more? The hospital provides formula since I can't breast feed right? Does the pediatrician tell me what kind of formula to get or is it up to me?

As for me... I know I need one going home outfit as well. I should probably pack snacks for who ever is going to be there with me. It will either my my hubby or my mom. Neither of who will want to leave my side. Uhm... I honestly don't know what else to bring.... Someone please clue me in. I know this has been addressed before, and I'm bringing it back up.... but I've never done this before.... I'm a first time mommy... :)

you'll need the tub and shower gel, shampoo, baby powder, if you want to have dippaer rash cream, i found that the cream for sore nipples is very good, i bought it form baby's r us, it was from gerber,. a pump if you need to pump.the red cross or johnsoms kit for newborn(hair brush, thermometer..that is all what i can remember. make sure that the outfit is comfi, because you'l;l still look 4/5 months pregnant. socks, nursing bras, towels for you, eye glasses for you if you wear it. shampoo, tooth brush tooth paste, some make up if you want, pijamas(something you can sleep in),a lot of panties, hair brush and hair clips.deodorants.

Hi, Im also a first time mom, but in my bag I'm also packing an outfit for dh, or in your case, have your mom bring one if she is staying, a pack of maternity underwear and pads, I think a couple of diapers wouldn't hurt.  For the going home outfit, I am going to bring a couple in  different sizes just in case she wont fit in a newborn (my family has big babies) and a blanket.  And don't forget your camera.  Good luck!!

a very special outfit to go for your special princess, maybe you want 2-3 outfit for the days you will be at the hospital (some people don't like hospital clothes, and i am one) i don't know about the diapper tho, i would put 2-3 just in case, but i know the most hospitals offer them. a hat, socks and booties if you want, 2-3 onesies.wash clothes, i am sure you want to clean her, they don't clean the baby very well, 1 blankets for the first car ride, receiving blanket/s, i think you need more wash clothes tho, if you want to style her hair, you can have her hair brush.and for sure pacifiers, if she took this in the first days, she will use to it easily. and i find that pacifiers are very important. i can't remeber more, but if i did i''ll post ya!!
