What's in my hospital bag..?

I can't tell you how many blogs I've read and how many vlogs I've watched to help me back my hospital bag. It feels like a million....or maybe, closer to 15..


I am preparing for my first childbirth, 3 weeks and 2 days away from my due date to be exact.....WOAHHHH~~


I compiled a list for all my fellow Momma-to-be's, of what I ended up putting in my hospital bag. I plan on following up on this topic after my hospital stay to go over what I actually used and how important the items were to me (&WHY)...[[because I am known for over packing, so I'm sure I've packed items that I don't really need buuuuuutttttt....better over-prepared than under-prepared!]]


I'll list out what I packed for my husband, myself, and our baby girl below!

Until the next dash,

My beloved Slippers (+ where you can get them!)

I know, this may seem like the weirdest topic...but stick with me...you will want to know about these slippers!

I LOVEE a cute shoe. Booties, boots, heels, wedges, flats, sandals, a cute tennis shoes...seriously I love shoes. I will wear an un-comfy shoe, just for the looks of the shoe. Shoes can make or break an outfit, but towards the end of this pregnancy, forget it. I don't care what the outfit looks like or how cute it is, I will wear my slippers everyday, all day. They are comfy, warm, and did I mention comfy?!?!

& I mean I will wear these slippers anywhere and everywhere. My hubby is constantly looking at my feet and asking " Where are your shoes??" and I just look at him like, uh on my feet...DUHH!

I tried a few different pairs of slippers and slide on "Comfy" shoes before I finally found the pair I love at Kroger...yes, Kroger! (+ 50% off). I've seen this brand at Kohl's, Meijer, Macy's, JCPenny and Kroger since I have purchased my TWO pairs. I will be sure to link a few different places to get these slippers below. The brand is Dearfoam & they are clog slippers!

If you are pregnant and you're tired of your feet being sore or struggling to put shoes on...I highly recommend getting a pair or two or three of these slippers! They are totally worth it! They have tons of styles and colors, they are a memory foam bottom and they have a solid bottom so you can wear them outside and won't slip!
