You might want to add maxi pads and extra underwear for you and diapers and bottles (only if you are bottle feeding) for baby. And a camera (hehe I love newborn pictures).
Good Luck =)

Maybe a camera, snacks, cards, baby book, and socks, underwear and pads, stuff for the daddy pillows and blanket from home.. pictures of the other little ones...and Also.... I would pack a little extra of everything and leave it in the car... I only packed a few things for my first time, and I ended up having a c-section at the last minute, and I was only prepared for 2 days (I had to stay for 4) and we were an hour from home.. so it was kinda rough.. Congrats!!!

Wow, you are really prepared!!
The only thing I'd advise is keep a small pouch or change purse with your insurance card or a copy of it at least. Unless your hubby carries one in his wallet. The last thing you want to worry about is giving a copy for their paperwork!
Also, I found lip balm to be essential!!
Otherwise, your all set!
Good Luck!!

You sound pretty prepared.
Have you got nappies and cotton wool for changing your baby there?
You will probably need maternity pads and breastpads, and perhaps some bottled water, I went through the jugs of water they provided faster than I have ever gone though jugs of water, so to have some of my own in the room would have been great.
What about snacks for dad too. Don't give him any excuse to have to leave you!

don't forget some kind of lip balm or chapstick. And my hospital allowed us to bring popsicles; I really liked that when I was in labor, but I don't know if yours allows that. And not something you can pack ahead of time anyway.

You really are very well prepared, the only thing i can think of that your long list doesnt have is a camera/video. It is a must have with a new born!!!!

*Panties (the granny type)
*Your own maxi pads
*Your baby book so when they stamp his/her footprint on the hospital birth certicicate they can in your baby book as well
*Chap stick
*A nursing bra if you breastfeed but if not bring a tight fitting bra cause your breasts will be sore and nursing pads for the leaking
*Car Seat
*Outfit for the baby photo
Good luck

Im not sure if your hospital allows it, but I brought candy suckers instead of ice chips. My mouth was really dry.
