Nice walking shoes that could sub for dress shoes.
undies and socks (half dozen)
personal hygene stuff (samples)
baby hygene stuff (samples)
Med for us (see list)
washclothes
granola bars
Herb tea and sweetner
Cameras
Gift bags
more books just to read in the downtime
Robe and Pajamas, not a gown, unless I was traveling in the height of summer!
slip-on slippers
baby formula and bottles
Wipes
Journal and pens
Stroller

Med list
mommy's meds:
Motrin
tylenol PM
peptobismol tablets
Imodium
cold tablets generic
prescription allergy med
antibiotic (cipro)
eyedrops and lipbalm

baby's meds:
infant tylenol
pedicare cold
pediolyte powder
mylacon gas med
baby antibiotic (Zithromax)
scabies meds
Rid for head lice
Nystatin for severe diaper rash
antibiotic ointment
anti itch ointment

Of all this, I used some pepto, motrin and allergy meds; Jaelynn used infant tylenol, gas meds and the diaper rash ointment (desiten). I'm glad I was over prepared, and would take just as much the next time, just in case...
