the bag

i really need to pack my bag for the hospital. all of the baby emails i've been getting for the past few weeks say that it should be done. it makes me feel guilty every time. people say to me "your bag is packed right?" packing the bag has been on my list of "things to do" for weeks. seems early to do it...i have four weeks left, but who knows when this baby is really coming?

i hate packing. i really do. i procrastinate this task every time i take a trip, no matter how excited i am about the trip itself. i've made some things easier over the years, such as having toiletries ready to go, but the rest of it is still sucky.

i think part of my problem is that i don't want to put some of my clothes into the bag because i wear them almost every day when i get home from work. this would include the black stretchy pants that still fit my waist (barely), pajamas that still fit (barely), and my maternity sweatshirt. i guess i need to bite the bullet and put them in. the other problem is a nightie or something to wear at night...i don't wear them for sleep so what would i pack?

the other issue i'm having is whether or not to breastfeed. if i do, i need to go spend MORE money to get nursing bras and tops. sigh...

i wish someone would just pack this bag for me. that would make me so happy. hey, maybe packing the hospital bag for other moms will be my million dollar idea. no one steal the idea! considering how much i hate to pack though, i'm not sure that idea would ever come to fruition.

maybe tonight will be the night that the bag is packed...
