I packed early.. I would get started soon if I were you. They have some great videos on YouTube of other people showing you everything they've packed in their bags. I watched a few and composed a list.. its really helpful and some things you dont even think of. I did this with my first pregnancy and will do the same with my second. Only thing I wasnt prepared for was the amount of outfits that my little girl went through. My husband had to bring more outfits after that first day..

Oh, and I suggest start packing soon! I started packing at 32 weeks and just now finished at 36 weeks. As I started packing, I realized I didn't have extra chargers for our phones, so I went to amazon and got 10 ft cables, so we don't have to worry about plug location. :)

I packed about 3-4 outfits (went through more then that baby peed all over) a nice soft blanket, a certain pacifier I wanted him on. Socks for the baby definitely, they don't have any there! A couple cute receiving blankets and some baby lotion. Everything else they really give you there like formula, diapers and wipes. Along with a hat and receiving blankets. For my bag I packed some pj's for after birth, and an outfit for going home. Shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, a nice blanket, pillow, any snacks I would want, any entertainment devices, postpartum bleeding wise they give you everything you need, unless you want a certain type of underwear. Sports bras were also a good thing!

Have you taken a tour of your hospital? That's where I learned the most, about what I need to take and leave at home. Like mine suggested to bring nipple pads because they don't provide them. Babyberry000 has a great comprehensive list that I used as a go by and then added and scratched off based on the information from my tour.
