I had mine ready a month and a half before my due date with my first 2 and plan to due the same with #3
With my first I packed the morning that I went into labor but hopefully this time I'll be more prepared. I really didn't need much the first time. I was so out of it and didn't care about anything about getting baby out. The photos were not cute so, I'm packing a cute stretchy dress for leaving the hospital and warm socks and sweats for the stay if I in fact do stay. Makeup and a hair brush! Chapstick, phone and charger. Baby first outfit for photos and clothes for going home and blanket . Car seat!
