@@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout Welcome!!

@@IATR6694 Thanks for watching! We had the best time!! Can’t wait for our next cruise!

Welcome aboard!

I found a couple of different options a.co/d/2QLtKGM a.co/d/20HbSWg

Haha so true!!

Thanks for letting us know!

We are planning to take our 2.5 year old and almost 1 year old so I do believe its worth it at that age. They are free under 3 so it is a bit cheaper. If you are only planning to go once I would wait until they are a bit older. I am a travel agent specializing in Disney and have had clients tell me they only want to go once and then reach back out the next year to plan another trip because they loved it so much. If you want help planning your trip my vacation planning services are free when you book through me! my email is cheryl@clickthemouse.ca

I did not bring shower stuff because I did not use it the first time. I did bring a 6ft phone charger with me. Did not bring a pen since the hospital supplied one. I had my first January 2021 and had the same restrictions. We were able to have a couple visitors at a time with this baby. Wishing you all the best with your c-section!

Goodluck!! My best tips are.... - drive when they are sleeping (we left at 5am ) and he slept until 8! - have lots of snacks - If you have an ipad or laptop put cocomelon on! (our son doesn't normally like TV but cocomelon kept him calm and entertained) - stop for meals to let them have some time out of the car seat! Wish you the best on your road trip!

I did not see it on this trip but have seen it on previous trips!

So glad you found it helpful!!

I never got around to making a video of the stuff I actually used but I will tell you what I did and did not use. I got to the hospital at 3am, had my son at 8:45am and we were discharged the following day around 11am just to give you an idea of how long I was there. For me - i never used any of my clothes until I left except for the nursing bras. All I wore was sweatpants and a sweatshirt to go home in. I didnt want to get my own clothes dirty while at the hospital so I stayed in the hospital gown, Not sure if I would do that next time. We never had visitors because of covid. - I also never showered. I waited until I got home. - I used my toiletry bag for brushing my teeth and deodorant that was about it. - My 100% must have if you are breast feeding is nipple butter. That was my most used item - Never used the water bottle, just drank from the cup they gave me and also never ate any snacks because I just wasn’t hungry. - I am also obsessed with lip balm so I definitely used that. - We only slept for 2 hours the entire time we were there so I didnt need anything for sleep - For my husband next time I would bring a pillow. The hospital ran out of pillows - I also did use the adult diapers. Those are the best For baby - also barely opened the babies bag. I kept him in the hat the hospital gave and a swaddle blanket until he went home from the hospital. He had jaundice so had alot of people checking on him so no point in dressing him. - I didnt bring the baby home in the outfit I had planned either. He ended up being in newborn sizes and I thought he would be bigger since bigger babies run on both sides of our families. So bring a couple outfits in different sizes - One thing I might bring next time is a halo swaddle for the hospital. If we took him out of the blanket swaddle we couldnt do it back up as well as the nurses did - I also used the pacifiers - And we used white noise on our phones as well - The hospital had enough diapers and wipes for the baby but I had a friend who didnt have enough so I would bring them again next time. - I also used a couple receiving blankets for milk spit up and also some for the car seat to keep him more secure. And we carried him out with the car seat cover and a blanket since it was covid and freezing outside I believe that was everything we used! Wishing you all the best!

@@ollieandcotravel thanks so much! So helpful, I’m due in 5 weeks with our first baby boy! I live in Saskatchewan so it’s certainly helpful from a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦

@@malayab.8379 congratulations! Boys are so much fun!!

Congratulations! So glad you found it helpful! Wishing you all the best with your little one

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the video helpful and Congratulations!! I got the pacifier case on amazon. I"m not sure if they have the same one anymore. Wishing you a safe delivery of your sweet little baby!

@@ollieandcotravel ooh thank you so much , ya i will check 🥰🥰

I used the womens depends. They were great

oh gosh!! Chicken behind the bed!? Its always easier to try not to think about what went on in the hotel room before you got there lol. Thanks for watching!

@@ollieandcotravel LOL!!! EXACTLY!!! LOL!!!

Hopefully she gives an update but personally watching this video id say she underpacked (because she said she was prepping for worst case scenario) i am currently prepping for my second csection and my list is much bigger then this lol but im expecting to stay in hospital approx 3 days. But it may be overpacking if she had a smooth l&d where she went home same day. Also always call your hospital to find out what they give. My first hospital (which i will never go to again) gave me NOTHING no diapers no wipes. Not even a small towel. I had to use a clean hospital gown to dry off and then wear that hospital gown... i was not impressed. Also add to this list pillow for your spouse as my poor husband didnt even get a pillow and had to ball up his sweater. Until he was able to run home.

I most definitely did overpack! I am an over packer by nature. However, as my first time I had no idea what to expect. I stayed in the hospital gown the entire time and only changed when we checked out. I really only needed some PJ's and a going home outfit. We also did not put the baby in any clothing except for when we were leaving. Just left him wrapped in the blanket and with a hat the hospital gave him. Next time I will bring much less

Yes! he has been an excellent eater since he was born.

@@ollieandcotravel Congratulations!!!!! Baby Brayden is so handsome.
