The hospital will always have the baby swaddled and wrapped, so you only need to bring a blanket for the ride home (or sentimental purposes). The hospital will also have these really sexy mesh panties for you, and I preferred them because I didn't have to worry about bringing any (you'll still probably be maternity size) and I could throw them away. The same with pads; they had a whole package of them. I would also add magazines and DVDs -- nothing heavy; just something to distract you in between contractions. Oh, and don't forget phone chargers.

The hospital gave us both water jugs when I was admitted a little while ago. So I think we will be okay. They even gave Steven free soda. ;)
