Go-time suitcase
With less than 9 weeks to go, I’m starting to feel the pressure of having things ready for the baby’s arrival. I’m not stressed; however I’ve been having some anxiety dreams... the most recent of which is that I’m in labor and at the hospital, I realize I don’t have my hospital bag leaving me ill-prepared, ill-clothed, and without alcohol for this moment for which I have been waiting for months. (I'll let you decide if I mean the baby or my reunion with alcohol.)
This is my brain’s way of telling me it’s time to make a list, pack that suitcase, and let myself worry about some other looming task. But tell me, WHAT AM I MISSING?
• Books and magazines for me and Nat
• Ipod and speakers
• Glasses and contacts
• Toiletries and Look-OK-In-Pictures Miracle Kit
• Throw-away socks or slippers
• Baby F’s comfy coming home outfit, blanket, and baby nail file
• Comfortable clothes, various unmentionables, and a robe (I’m a little nervous that everyone suggests that all the clothes I bring should be ones that can get RUINED)
• Something comfortable to go home in
• Computer and cord so I can blast obscenities to the internet (if they don’t have internet I don’t know what I’m gonna do besides post every swear word I can think of on Twitter)
• Camera (for use during approved times only)
• Blackberry and charger
• Husband, sans video camera or recording device of any kind
• Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Anejo tequila
What else, what else?

Comments
Maybe some board games—monopoly or pictionary—to get us through the monotony of when we get there and when she finally comes.
Camcorder with charged batteries and appropriate lighting equipment.
Snacks… maybe a chicken parm sandwich.
