Glam - hospital bag suggestions:

Lightweight dressing gown
Moisturiser
Tissues
Water spray bottle (for OH to spritz you and cool you down!)
Chapstick/Handcream

Just things I have stolen from other lists and thought might be useful!

Will have a think about names.

Fitzilian - sorry to hear about your ex. What a t**t. Nothing I can advise you on, just offering my sympathy.

Hi to Fairy Dawn. Hope you are feeling ok. x

jack james BIL's middle name so No
jack peter My stepdad's name so No
jack paul My Dad's middle name so No

and now my mind is blank.....!!!!

Thanks Carla - I do like Dylan and Jordan. With the others I don't want anyone thinking we have 'named the baby' after someone! IL's are very traditional and expect it but I don't want to!

ASDA have disposable knickers 2 packs of 5 for £3 - haven't seen any cheaper yet!

Thanks Fitz

Might skip dressing gown - hospitals are always too warm but I'll see if I can find one I like.
Rest added to list - thanks!

I went back through and found lists others had posted a stole things I liked.

Asked OH what he wanted on his list -
OH - 'Nothing'
Me - 'Um, won't u be bored?' (this is a guy who gets bored after 5mins in a waiting room!)
OH - 'Nah'
ME - 'Well, I'll pack your DS and charger'
OH - 'Yeah whatever'

He has just said if it's a Sunday he'll nip to car boot if he gets bored and leave me to it :rotfl:

Jack Dean
Jack Dylan
Jack Dexter
Jack Joseph
Jack Joshua

I suppose some of them depend on what the surname is. Jack doesn't seem to go that well with a lot of names, but I think if you add the surname then it probably does (hope that makes sense!)

I threw out all the takeaway menus a while back but today got some more and I fancied a chinese - yum!
Instead I've had toast, then egg and beans on toast (creatively burnt by OH) and then curry and rice for tea. Then half an easter egg we found under the bed which was just in date

OH moaning I keep posting about him - hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha

I swear I don't feel like I eat much more than I used to, but then I am probably eating more crisps and rubbish than usual. I don't look like I have put on much weight and bump seems quite neat, but I have put on more than 2.5 stone! Can't remember what I was when I started.

We had a chippy tonight for dinner though - OH has been painting the kitchen and it was a riot so couldn't be bothered cooking (which is a shame since I had left trout out of the freezer and now think I need to bin it).
Also we have no clean dishes as dishwasher isn't working!! I do plan to hand wash them, but as kitchen is a mess at the moment, there's no point.

OH said Dexter makes him think of the murderer on the TV series :rolleyes:

Thanks for the suggestions will add the to the list!

Right off to bed now - plan to get up at 6am so need my beauty sleep!

Night night xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have a dressing gown in my bag, but I've not used it any time I was in.

And also, I plan on getting dressed, in clothes, during the day. Huge difference from the old hospital and the new one is that everyone seems to walk about in PJ's all day in the new one. And they don't brush their hair! In the old one we weren't allowed to. We were encouraged to get dressed unless we were bed bound. Maybe I'm being too judgemental but is it really that hard to brush your hair before going to the dining room? And it was the same ones for breakfast, lunch and dinner with unbrushed hair so not like they had just arrived.
