Preparing for Baby

For those of you who really know me, know that I'm a planner and a little OCD. I get this from my mother, although I don't think she will ever admit that!

So I thought last night that since we have about 8 weeks left, maybe I should go a head and pack my bag for the hospital...because you NEVER KNOW. But I have the issue of not knowing exactly what to pack. I've done a little reading on the internet and in my pregnancy books..but I thought those of you who have been through this probably know best. Any advice out there??

For a quick update - the baby's room is coming together. I spent most of my evening last night putting things away and doing laundry. I plan to do more tonight so I can get things organized (there's my OCD again!). I am going to the doctor every 2 weeks now, which helps the time go by a little faster and this time I have a list of questions for my doctor - I hope she's ready for this! My body is definitely preparing for the baby's arrival, my mind - not so much. I'm sure I'll be fine, but I'm having those scary thoughts of me not knowing what to do!!!!! We are finished with baby showers and WOW did we get a lot of stuff. I really appreciate our family and friends showing their support and excitement for the baby - it's amazing to know that they are there.

OH! Our new computer is coming so I will be able to up date the blog with pictures and other fun things - so beware!!
