Hospital bag

I am 31 weeks pregnant. Although I know its too early to actually pack my bags for the hospital, I am making out a list of things I will need to pack when I get to that stage. is there anything you absolutely would NOT want to forget to pack with your things to take to the hospital? This is my first baby so im kinda clueless lol

Take mittens for the little one sometimes babies (like my son) are born with finger nails long enough to scratch their little faces. If you are going to breastfeed I would suggest taking a nursing bra and nursing gown so that you are a little less exposed for feedings with everyone running in and out of the room. You are not to early to consider getting this stuff packed and in the car anything could happen in the bext few weeks. Congratulations I'm sure you'll do great.

I always bring a mirror (pregnant with #4) lol I have a lot of visitors and not to sound vain but it came in handy.  Also I always bring my own socks... the hospitals socks aren't too comfy.
