Hospital bag

I'm 35 weeks today and I think it's time to start getting my bag and baby's bag ready! What exactly do I need to pack for the hospital?

Diaper bag sounds like mine^ & for hospital bag I'm definitely over packing. I have 2 pairs of yoga pants for after delivery, a couple tank tops, a bra, 3 shirts of different kinds (seeing which is easiest to breastfeed in), then things like slippers, socks, underwears, hair ties/headbands, lotion for me, stress ball for laboring, deck of cards in case I need to pass time, tablet and charger for entertainment, phone chargers, camera & batteries or charger, headphones in case I want to drown people out lol, a pair of sweats and 2 extra shirts and socks and underwear for hubby, my fuzzy blanket I'll appreciate for after delivery, folder for baby files, notepad & pen because I'm obsessed with writing lists, hairbrush, gum, snacks for hubby, jolly ranchers, and I'm sure there's more unnecessary small things lol wow that's a lot!

@Beans_mama thank you! That was quite helpful :) I agree! It doesn't hurt to over pack because we don't know if we'll need something. What about for your hospital bag? What did you pack if you don't mind me asking.

I packed everything I would usually pack in a diaper bag. Diapers, wipes, receiving blankets, two blankets of different thicknesses, a couple outfits, a couple onesies, a couple sleepers, a couple pacifiers, a few pairs of socks, and no scratch mittens. I probably over packed but my diaper bag is huge and its better to have something you don't need than to need something you don't have. :)
