Will the birthing center give you pads? The hospital gave me these giant pads that looked like they could soak up an entire river and they were WONDERFUL! Much better than anything I could have gotten elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteAlso - I hear you on the shirt for your hubby! Shawn wore a stupid concert t-shirt under the button up I bought him for our Christmas pictures and you can see the top of it in our picture because he didn't button all of the buttons. I was pissed! hahaha
I believe they will give me some but I'm sure it wont be enough. I was just gonna get the biggest ones I could find in Always brand. Thats what I have seen recommened on The Bump a lot and other 'lists'. Hopefully they will do. Maybe I can find hospital grade ones on Amazon?
DeleteAnd I mentioned the shirt thing to my husband the other night and he just rolled his eyes at me. He best believe he'll do what I say if he knows whats good for him ;) Haha!
