I made this for another friend having her baby any day.
Delivery and Postpartum MUST HAVES:
Lansinoh Disposable Breast Pads
Lansinoh Lanolin (both are at Target)
Sports Bra that fits tight for when your milk comes in and you feel like you are going to pop.
Hopefully your hospital send you home with Tucks...if not, buy them! They are at the drugstore in a round tub.
BUTT PASTE (its the best)
Lecithin 1200mg (herbal supplement), it will help your milk ducts to stay lubricated and not clog which can cause infection and miserable-ness. It is also proven to help baby's brain development because they get it through the milk.
A robe for the hospital: I was always cold and it was nice to have something comfy to cover up with when visitors popped in. (slippers and favorite pillow too)
Biggest advice: my mom is an L&D nurse so she was able to explain a lot to me before they did everything. Ask questions and always ask the doctor if there are any other options. Put Rob in charge of that. Sometimes (frequently) doctors do things out of convenience. Such as: breaking your water too early, making you start pushing too early which could send you to a C-section unnecessarily...Laboring down for a while after you are complete is always a great idea. Let your contractions push Maycee down for you until you feel a lot of pressure and her head is ready. Doctors get in a hurry and want to get things over with. Take your time and do it the way you want to. It is your labor and your body!

Okay, that's enough for now. Email me if you have any questions hollylgeorge@gmail.com or you can call me at any time (honest! for any reason) all day or all night!

You are the cutest pregnant lady! That is so cute that you keep all of your stats from the doctors! Hang in there these next 2 weeks. Waiting at the end is hard because you just want the baby here.

woo-wee! That's so exciting!!! I can't wait for another niece. It seems like every day is an eternity when you are almost there, and don't freak out if you get to your due date or past and she hasn't come yet. She will come when she is ready. But I can dish out that council and never heeded it myself. Waiting is just too hard! We love you coco and can't wait to see this baby!
