Okay listen you guys.
I brought EVERYTHING guys. EVERYTHING. I brought my damn hair curler, dryer, all my makeup, LAPTOP and guess what, I used NONE, noooone of it. I maybe put a little foundation on, but other than that, I hardly used anything. I was so exhausted and, to be honest that the only thing that mattered those early days was Apollo and Matt.
So here are a few things that I did use while I was there! I would say these items are a must! Bring these goodies with you and then just add in the rest later.
#1 Depends Diapers Yup. I wore diapers the entire time there and when I got home for about a week ish (also take all the ice packs they allow you to.)
#2 Magnesium (you need it for that first poo) Let’s be real, real. You guys I was soo constipated and that stool softener did nothing. Magnesium all the way.
#3 Nursing Bras I used these ones and they were great!
#4 Nursing Tank
#5 Dermoplast Spray (they do give it to you but I was happy to have a back up just in case) but get a ton of that stuff. A. TON.
#6 Easy Dresses Love Dwell and Slumber for this.
#7 Glasses and Contacts
#8 Robe Perfect for nursing if you choose to
#9 Headphones
#10 Granola Bars
#11 A Long Phone Charger
#12 Boppy Pillow! Save your arms a bit! This pillow was my go-to! Still is!
#13 A Good Attitude
Things I brought but didn’t need, hair curler, all my makeup, tons of snacks, pads (they give them to you there), nursing pads (they give them to you), nipple cream (they give them to you), my own towel, lots of outfits for baby, laptop (you guys I literally thought I’d get some work done. BAHAH.)
That’s a bit of a roundup, hopefully, it helped in some way. If I think of anything else, I’ll make sure to add it to the list!
