On looking back I didn't need all that with me at one time, Chris could have brought things in as I needed them, we could have left a bag in the car.<br />
<br />
<br />
I would advice to have your bag ready by the time you get to 34 weeks, you just never know. Have it somewhere were it easy to grab on your way out the door.<br />
<br />
<br />
My bag was packed and unpacked so many times it was unreal.<br />
