What's in our hospital bag

We are kicking off 2015 at 32 weeks! My body is currently recuperating from a long weekend. I was honored to be a bridesmaid in my dear friend Jenny's wedding. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding! By the end of the night my body was revolting against me and reminding me I shouldn't be on my feet all day though! Our little girl is now about 4 pounds and 17 inches. Over the past week I've started to notice some more painful braxton hicks contractions, I asked my doctor about them at my appointment today though and she wasn't concerned. Speaking of my appointment, the doctor decided that I'm not gaining quite as much weight as she would like to see so we're going to be getting another ultrasound at our next appointment just as a precaution. She's not too concerned and neither are we. I'm definitely tempted to feel anxious about it, but I'm combating those temptations with prayer. I am very excited to see our little girl one more time before meeting her though! Hopefully this time she will cooperate and not be so camera shy! I can't believe that we will be having a baby next month (don't forget to place your guess of when she will arrive! http://jashleyfam.blogspot.com/2014/12/ilyanas-arrival-date-contest.html )! We are feeling fairly prepared for her birth. Next on my to-do list is packing our hospital bag. Here's our list of items to pack:
