Ya, go by your gut feeling! Everyone is going to tell you How, what, when where, why, with this baby, but you have to go by your own instincts! Do what's best for you and your baby. Example, if you don't feel comfortable letting him "Cry it out", then by all means, go to him and pick him up. I could NEVER let Marissa cry it out. It broke my heart People would tell me that I was spoiling her, well you know what? I'm the one who was taking care of her!

Are your bags packed and ready to go? Make sure you have plenty of $1.00 bills and plenty of quarters for DH for the vending machines Also, have the car seat installed in the car ahead of time. This way you're not fussing with having to do it when you're ready to go home with John, John. I remeber wanting to go home and Marissa's dad still had to install the car seat You won't need too many supplies. The hospital will supply you with EVERYTHING. Pack the camera and a going home outfit and a baby blanket.
