Q. Any ideas on stuff to make time go by faster also anything I should have done when I go in
A. Your "bathroom stuff" like toothbrush, shampoo, facewash etc., contacts/glasses, hairties/headbands/bobby pins, any medications you're on.
They provide pads, but they're huge so if you're picky you could take your own for after delivery.
Robe, socks, slippers, change or two of comfy clothes and something comfy to go home in. Don't forget underwear and bras - the nursing kind if you're going to breastfeed. They will probably also provide nursing pads, but if you're picky take your own.
With an induction, you'll likely be on continuous monitoring and won't be able to use a shower/whirlpool for pain relief, but just in case a swim suit top or extra sports bra that can get wet.
Baby's car seat and outfit. They will usually give you a blanket and provide diapers during your stay, but again if you're picky and want your own (or are cloth diapering etc.) you can take your own.
Books, knitting, handheld video games/puzzles, a laptop computer, or anything portable that you usually do for entertainment. Some hospitals have a library with video check out etc.
Handheld massage thing or tennis balls etc. for massage, birthing ball to labor on (most hospitals have these, so ask before buying one or hauling one in).

Stationary baby video monitor vs Portable?
Q. Trying to decide between a stationary video baby monitor vs a portable. And yes, I definitely want the monitor. My daughter is 4 months old and there are many times when the TV/Vacuum/Dishwasher is going that I can't hear her, so if your only suggestion is that it isn't "needed" then keep it to yourself please! :) I know it's not an absolute "need" but it would be very helpful and I want it, so there. TIA!
Yep, that's why I originally got just an audio monitor-- I was visiting parents and baby was asleep in the guest bedroom at home. Now I'm visiting friends and they have a video monitor set up and I absolutely love it, their's is an older model stationary one though. Is the 2.5" screen really big enough though?

A. Definitely portable. You want to be able to take the monitor with you say if you stepped outside for a second or into another room where you may not be able to hear the monitor.
I love the Summer Infant monitors!

she is 11 weeks BTW
A. We use the Angel care monitor it will tell you if movement stops in the crib. My husband and I have it and it is really helpful. My little girl was put in the hisipital at 12 weeks with RSV. When we bought it after our little one got out of the hosipital with RSV we were worried. It's about $100 but it's money well spent. Here is some information on it:
Angelcare® Movement Sensor With 2 Sound Monitors by BebeSounds
This powerful movement sensor detects your baby's slightest movements, even though it may seem that baby is perfectly still while sleeping. An under-the-mattress sensor pad detects the slightest movements. If your baby goes absolutely still for 20 seconds, the sensor pad sends a signal to the nursery unit, which sounds an alarm alerting you to check your baby. Two portable sound monitor units also pick up the alarm as well as other nursery sounds if you are out of the room. Nursery unit has an optional "tic" feature, so if the sensor pad senses movement, the unit will continuously tick. If no movement is detected, the unit stops ticking. Two sound monitors let you always leave one in your bedroom while moving the second unit to the room you are in while your baby is sleeping. System includes an under-the-mattress sensor pad, a nursery unit, two sound monitor units, and three AC adapters. It can also operate with 12 AAA batteries, not included.
Wishing you lots of luck! You are a great mom and don't doubt anything go with your gut following what what every you think is right. Everything will be fine.
