Pack it baby: The hospital bag - Check list

My good friend went through all of the baby lists for the hospital bag and compiled one master list that is perfection.  Well it was to me at least.  I've shared with several and think he'd say it's just fine if I shared this with you to.  You don't have to pack 3 months early like I did...but you can peruse the list and see if you can make any use out of it ;)
