Hi friends! So I did an original version of this blog post here – where I had a full list of what I brought to the hospital when I delivered Jack back in 2019 and then I updated it after he was born with the stuff I actually used while I was in the hospital. This time around, I’m adjusting and updating some more based on what I feel I will actually need for baby #2 and what I’m buying and stocking up on for postpartum prep. Let’s jump into this!
