Check out the Divine Consign - they have AMAZING consignment conventions throughout this area and have a TON of stuff for new moms- all in really good shape- breast pumps- clothing- furniture.
Back a change of clothes for the day you leave- 3 nightgowns- big underwear- to support those nice big maternity pads- Tucks hermorroid pads, lollipop and focus point if you are birthing naturally, maybe a portable music player. camera- extra batteries, pad and paper for notes you will have for yourself- take home baby clothes, bra pads, hand sanitizer for guest- i made everyone wash their hands - no ifs and or buts. -keep that practice at home too- esp with a teenager and his friends. -Get as much sleep as you possibly can- and i think it helps to have the 13yr old son go to get the baby from the nursey vs walking in on your with the newborn - makes them feel more secure- thats just my opinion. Wow- i didnt think there were any insrunce companies that excluded maternity- shame on them! Good luck!
