My sister-in-law, The Happy Housewife, is about to have baby number 7 and she is looking for guidance on what to pack in her hospital bag. You’d think she might know by NOW!<\/p>\n
Seeing as this is Baby Number SEVEN, I guessed she had the basics down and suggested chocolate.<\/p>\n
I like to take a big bowl of chocolates and lollipops for all the hospital staff, asking my husband to set it up at the nurses’ station with a note from us.<\/p>\n
And yes, I pack refill candy and take the bowl to the recovery floor after the baby is born.<\/p>\n
When my second was born, it was time to push while my husband was out of the room.\u00a0 (Yes, epidural on this one.) My doctor joked that the chocolate I brought convinced her to go hunt him down in the cafeteria so he wouldn’t miss the birth. :)<\/p>\n
