my hospital checklist

no contractions, nothing. just the occasional push on the bladder that makes me want to frequently visit the toilet on an half-hourly basis, lol.

stiletos sudah beranak. ntah2 the mamas i chatted with in the DA forums pun sudah beranak (the thread itu suddenly sunyi sepi... lol). so now i'm waiting for my turn - 13 days to go. in 2008 13 days before my due date i'd have already delivered Dayana. i guess this one wants to stay in the oven a bit longer. i guess i can happily say that this one will be another Virgo, yay!

right after attending the antenatal class at DEMC last month, i decided to start packing my hospital bag - but i think my plan terbengkalai half way, incompleted - i didn't want to bring too many things to the hospital, half of which might deem useless like last time, hoho. besides, since we live nearby i could always ask Significant Other to fetch anything i terforgot to bring. some of the minor stuff - toiletries mostly - i haven't packed yet. and i was thinking whether i need to bring along my breastpump too. i didn't want to bring too many bags either.

but the problem of packing early is, i already forgotten what i stuffed into my bag. and i'm the type that really stuffs everything in - if i choose to unpack the bag, chances are i'll never get the stuff to fit back in again, lol.

anyway, here's my new hospital bag checklist. i realized i never made one last time, so here's my new list for reference:
