packing list ... round 2

Since I'm insistent that we get our bags packed this weekend, I dug out my list from last time including what we took and DIDN'T need and wanted to post, as well as get any feedback from y'all.

• Camera with battery and charger
• Phone chargers
• Flip flops.
• Toiletries for showering, etc. Including a loofah. Lotion.
• My small battery-operated hand fan.
• Books
• A tub of food. I remember always being STARVING around 10-11 p.m. after Cooper was born so I'll want some munchies.
• Notebook to keep notes/updates throughout the birthday process. I actually recently found the notes from Cooper's birth and really love that I have that.
• Insurance/ID cards
• Onesies, hats, socks, mittens. Yes the hospital has the generic stuff but I don't like that. I'm also throwing in a couple headbands if it's a girl.
• Headbands and ponytail holders for mom.
• Toothbrush
• Straightener and/or curling irons.
• Makeup
• Car seat
• Mom's clothes
• Nursing bras/tanks
• Yoga pants
• Maxi dress to wear home
• My own gown - debating this one. I hate to mess it up but really hate the hospital ones 
• Robe
• Clothes, etc. for dad
• Garbage bags for laundry, extra tote for any gifts, etc. brought to the hospital (that stuff seems to multiply!)
• Cooper's "Big Brother" present from the baby.

And of course, I also have to pack a Grandma/PaPa bag for little man.

• 3 pairs pajamas
• 5-6 shirts
• 3 pr. jeans, 3 pr. shorts
• Undies, socks, white T-shirts
• A few books
• A stuffed animal
• Boots, flip flops, tennis shoes
• Hats
• Medicine (just in case)
• His present to give the baby
• His "big brother bag" that he got at the sibling class offered by the hospital

Thankfully since my parents are close by and have been watching him quite a bit with doctors appointments, they keep a lot of the essentials like baby wash, cups, etc. at their house so there isn't too much we have to drop off. We also intend to probably leave a car seat with them in the next week or so, that way we don't have to worry about transferring that over if we meet them at 3 a.m. while en route to the hospital.

What am I forgetting?
