So I told you guys what I do for my kiddos (gifts for the hospital), I showed you my hospital favors (for guests at the hospital) and the other day I gave you my personal packing list for the hospital! Well...of course I can't leave out "D.O.D" aka Dear Ol' Dad!


Here is what I am doing for Paul. He is a cyclist so I bought him a current cycling magazine (figure easy for him to pick up and put down on quiet moments!). I found some new "slipper" style shoes so he can wear around the hospital! Snacks I bought trail mix and he loves Bugles (who doesn't right?!) and for some quick easy breakfast items I bought 2 of the "fill with milk" cereal cups (he has a secret love of Cinnamon Toast Crunch!) and a bought of Nutri Grain bars! I figured you can't go wrong with mints (I am a mean preggo and can't stand stale or bad breath near me right now!) Last but not least, I found an awesome insulated mug that he can fill with water, soda or coffee and not have to make multiple trips for himself with the teeny weeny cups they have in the Maternity kitchen! He has no idea about this so its packed in a gift bag (just like the kids!) and I will have a nurse stick on his bed (or shall I say the couch!) when I go into surgery!

Super easy! Just think about things your guy loves! Simple, yet sweet! Have a blessed day!
