Mommy Monday: What's in My Hospital Bag + 37 Week Update!

It's finally here! The long-awaited hospital bag post...round 2! If you'd like to see what I packed in my hospital bag for my first pregnancy you can read that blog post here. But this is the 2014/baby boy version!  

So last time I packed two separate bags, one for me and one for baby. This time I was lucky enough to find a bag that fits everything together without looking ridiculously oversized. My bag is the Pink Lining Cream Bows on Navy Holdall and I love it so much! It comes with double handles as well as a longer shoulder strap and one side pocket (where I store breast/nursing pads for when my milk comes in). This would be a wonderful weekend or mini-break bag as it holds a surprising amount of stuff - I was really impressed with how much I could fit in here!

Let's start with what I have packed for baby.

1 pack of newborn nappies (this holds 23 but I will probably need more!)

Baby Kind Cotton Wool Pads 

Receiving blanket from DPAM

4 babygrows (Debenhams, Jasper Conran, Ted Baker & Carters)

2 spare Gerber babygrows (just in case!)

5 pairs of newborn socks from Next

4 sleeveless cotton vests from Next

4 cotton vests also from Next

3 Aden & Anais muslin cloths

Baby Be Mine Nicole romper set

Knitted grey hat (not pictured) from Zara Baby

And here I am at 37 weeks pregnant (full term)!

How far along?  37 weeks! 

Total weight gain/measurements: 30lbs! 

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing my ASOS maternity jeans and a Mamalicious maternity t-shirt I got during my last pregnancy. The shirt is not maternity and from Heatons.

Stretch marks: Still no new ones.

Sleep: It's getting pretty uncomfortable now...I wake up several times a night and can really only sleep on my left side which gets annoying!

Best moment this week: Um...next question!

Miss anything? Not being pregnant!! This last month is killer!

Movement: Tons :)

Food cravings: Salty things...like crackers and cheese!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not usually but the other day Jonathan made sausages and the smell made me gag/want to vomit. I felt so nauseous I had to get out of the kitchen/living room!

Gender: Boy 

Labour signs: Lots and lots of Braxton Hicks. Feeling tons of pressure too...and lightening crotch!

Symptoms: Heartburn, fatigue (definitely need my naps!), back ache, shortness of breath, Braxton Hicks contractions. 

Belly button in or out? Out

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Hormones are raging...it's not always good!!

Looking forward to: Not being pregnant anymore! Sorry but it's true - especially after having two so close together I feel like I've been pregnant forever!
