I've been packing for the hospital. We live 2 minutes away by car, and until now, dh had me convinced that we don't really need to pack anything, because he can just run home and get whatever I need. I'm ignoring him and packing a small carry on suitcase anyway. Should I scrap the suitcase idea and pack a bag instead? I imagine I'll need someone to push me around in a wheelchair at some point and is a suitcase just cumbersome?
So, we're supposed to have an outfit for the baby to bring it home in. I know they don't "come with" clothes, but didn't know it was supposed to be a big production with the baby being all matchy-matchy... We live in a warm climate -- I imagine it'll be in the mid-70s. How do I dress the baby? Is a onesie not a good idea because of the umbilical cord? A side-snap t-shirt jobby isn't warm enough, right?
Any tips on what I should be packing for the little one? Any tips on the clothing size? I have a couple of newborn things that look impossibly small, and then some 0-3 month old stuff that seem pretty big.
TIA!
