We're putting together our kit to take to the hospital when the baby comes. We've used common sense and looked at some stuff online but I'm not sure we're set. What I'm wondering is what item(s) did you wish you had that you didn't. Or what oddball thing did you have that made it all work?
Bonus question: we're thinking we should have some kind of talisman or lucky charm to bring. Any advice? Also some kind of celebratory item is needed. Thirty years ago it would have been cigars but that won't work anymore. Fireworks maybe?

Heidi, thanks for the list. I think we've got that all covered.
Seriously, is there a better way to welcome a 'fire pig' than fireworks?
Don't forget your camera!
Hello,
This is Carrie using Ryan's ID.
I was present at the birth of my friend Sara's son years ago and I have a few suggestions. I would advise bringing some sort of squeezable stress toy. This could be good for relieving tension for both of you and if it’s silly looking it could be fun too. It’s something we wish we would have had. Then again, we were both 19 and we hadn’t attended child birth classes.
If they let her walk around while she’s in labor, try to sneak a peek into the nursery.
The thing that got us through the entire experience was our shared sense of humor. The nurse said we were two of the funniest people she had ever worked with.
Celebratory items . . . how about personalized M &M’s or chocolate bars?
