Glad her shower went well!

TN, one of my least favorite Targets here (what was I thinking shopping there), back when the $10 Zyrtec mq came out, I needed to buy dh some allergy meds. Didn't know it would be a beeper and the cashier refused to allow me to use it. Picture matched, size/count was correct, but they said the system rejected it and wouldn't allow it. I paid and went to guest services to do a missed coupon for the $10 mq only to have the cashier come running behind me shrieking that the system rejected it as an invalid coupon. Heck with them, I returned the $43 bottle right then and there. Yes I know it went to salvage but really?

Forecast for tomorrow is 105- 107 with the heat index. I have an OB appt, this is going to suck because I have other plans for afterwards.

Last weekend I packed our bags for the hospital. Yes I know, I should have this down after 4 kids but I feel like I'm missing something?

7 sleepers/ sleep bags (really prefer the bags for those first few weeks)
diapers/wipes (both the sensitive kind)
diaper disposal bags
coming home outfit and blanket
socks
muslin swaddling blankets
pacifiers for the drive home

for myself:
change of clothes/ undies/ Always
hand cream
hand soap and mild soap for when I'm allowed to shower
nursing bras
nursing pads
tooth brush/ paste/ deodorant
slippers
*will need to add phone and tablet chargers

Car seat is already installed in the car. My teen girls are going to alternative nights staying with me at the hospital so I'm going to have them pack their own bags with some snacks and whatever they will need. I'm also going to include a change of clothes or two for 4 year old monkey boy because (dh is going to love this) the nice new Army hospital has pretty water fountains everywhere it seems. lol
I packed so late with the last one it wasn't funny.. I think everyone's list can be a little different too. I never took much for my babies. They wore the little hospital gowns and blankets mostly.. except for pictures and going home. Plus the hospital here was great to give us lots of pampers and wipes, as well as a pacifier (well unless you wanted a different brand from what they had)

I took alot more me stuff though.. I took several gowns for myself as well as some items to make myself look more presentable when I felt up to it.. makeup, hairdryer, etc... If you are nursing, the lansinoh cream is great to have with you..

What about a robe for walking in the hallways?

I also liked some kind of ipod/mp3 player for listening to music in labor.. But, wait I just remembered you aren't laboring so that may not be something you would want..

Facepalm I haven't bought a baby book yet! eek
I gave up on completing baby books after my first 2 kids.. just couldn't get them done Frown

Quote from tn_native View quoted comment :
shampoo
hair brush or comb or both
hard candy, mints, chewing gum
crossword puzzles, find-a-word puzzles or whatever kind you like
book to read instead of puzzles
baby powder (cornstarch)
Yep on the hairbrush.. both for mom and baby.. And, mints and gum are a great idea as well. Especially helpful in the time when they won't let you eat or drink anything..

Oh good ideas! I do have a camera on the list but may only use the ones on our phones. I had to order some new gowns and when those get here I'll add them to my bag. I do have shampoo for myself, need to put my blow dryer and Chi in there the day before we go.

L2B, I don't keep up baby books very well either but do want something for footprints. And doh, I was just telling dh that I need to get some lanolin cream. I need to pick up some puzzle books.

Yay setsail!!!! getting closer!! I have nothing to add, I think the gals above covered it pretty well Smilie

Went to T. yesterday....used exactly 2, yes 2, coupons. It seems that much of my grocery money is being repurposed and reallocated into clothing money for two shrinking adults and one growing child Teehee We don't consume nearly as much food while on diets either; hoping to keep it that way.

Not going to repost the same thing so here's a link with a brief reporting of a new programming update shopping trip today.

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=51107958&postcount=6253

Overall I have no problem but when manufacturers put out a coupon for an item that doesn't have the same manu code on the item package as on the mq, and it's over $5, looks like we are going to have some issues. Jerks.

OB update- snippy perinatologist told my OB that she doesn't condone them doing the c-section before 39 weeks, even with amnio. Dang it, I understand why but at the same time I wish she would show a little compassion for ME. Since Saturday my reflux has kicked in something awful and all I can eat are bagels, chicken noodle soup and crackers or I'm up all night feeling like I'm going to vomit and/ or with huge belches. It's very uncomfortable overall. I want baby to be as safe as possible but I also know I can't do 2 extra weeks of this. Yes, I'm taking meds, can't take Zofran because it makes it worse. Blech.

nod I rarely if ever use more than 4 like coupons MQ or TQ. Yesterday I watched a cashier hand back a Revlon CAT MQ to a customer because they were using the $2 Revlon TQ. Facepalm Just because it has the bullseye doesn't mean it is a TQ. Facepalm

I wanted to suggest that the cashier enroll in...

eta: btw, I'm jealous. I just tried to embed a pic copy-pasting your IMG method...and NADA...not even yours will show up in my preview post when I tried myself. Maybe it doesn't work in D/G but fine in L.

Comfort heart
I hope all goes well. Sending lots of love, positive vibes, and prayers your way. Sorry you feel this way. worship you for this miracle of life.
People think I'm crazy when I say I want more kids (3 boys right now) but since we really can't afford it ... we'll give it a rest. And having more means DH would go find us a bigger car and he'd come home with a unimog OMG (yes the car behind is like a pickup truck...now we'd really get kicked out of our rental by my in-laws)

I'm only trying to be ask *loving and kind* as you are (and I've got a tonne of post to catch up to your level Wink )... thanks to you I've found something to watch Popcorn even when my hulu queue is empty.

btw you should see the latest post it has now become circling madness. I think it is time for me to go to sleep. DH will be off of work soon, so I gotta pretend I wasn't on SD late LMAO

Ok so you all will love this...
I posted a few items for sale on a local buy/sale/trade FB site. I am talking like 3 of this, 5 of that, 4 of these and so on. Probably about 8 different things or so. Can you believe I get 'called out' by some lady telling me that it is aweful that cpners buy more than they need and then resell it at a profit to innocent people who don't know how to get it themselves. And that I should be donating everything. LOL

So what do I do, I check her out and find out that she has a FB page and is holding classes to teach couponing. haha AND charging people to come to her classes!! Seriously...ticked me off!!

And she calls me greedy LMAO The people who bought my stuff thought it was awesome that I was saving them money. Less work for them and they got a heck of a deal. I was mainly selling a few makeup items for $2-$3 each and some glade things for $1....I am such a con-artist!!
Of course she tried to warn them that I was selling these items at regular retail and that they could buy it from the store for this price. Ha ya right! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

PS...I am not sure why she even would think I was a couponer..I definately didn't mention it. LMAO
