Smart Phone Apps

This is actually a top four list because I didn't want to load it down with crappy apps for the sake of staying true to the 'top 10' theme. Sometimes less is more!

These are the top four smart phone apps my kids and I can't live without:

1. My Baby (BabyCenter.com) Free
2. Sleepy Sounds (white noise for naps/night time) Free
3. Baby Connect (daily schedule tracker)
4. tinyCam Monitor PRO (to use with our Foscam baby monitor) $3.99

Hospital Bag

These were the essentials in my hospital bag:

1. Medela Easy Expression Bustier
2. Well-fitted bra
3. Sleep mask
4. Comfortable blanket and pillow
5. Pajama pants
6. Flip flops (or slippers)
7. Gatorade
8. Peanut butter
9. Phone and charger (I used this for the baby schedule tracking app, alarm clocks, entertainment, taking pictures, keeping in touch with people, etc.)
10. ...and again, #10 has to be my husband. I was barely functioning after giving birth to my daughters and my husband was the glue that held everything together. Line up your team of supportive friends and family members!
