- camera to take photos of baby

- book, something to keep you busy when your waiting or bub is asleep

- snacks you may want

- clothing for yourself

- hairbrush, toothbrush etc

- ipod to play music if desired

Hair ties!! When I was in labour with Levi I kept tying up my hair and putting it down. I don't know why I just never was satisfied with it, a focal point for my frustration I guess. The other ladies have pretty much got it covered. Also remember on the day your little one is born to get your significant other, or anyone else who is there, to pick up an international newspaper- so when the child is older they can see what was going on in the world on the day they were born My mother picked this up for me when Levi was born(it was a suprise). I really thought it was lovely!
