Send help. I’m living in a perpetual state of paranoia and anticipation right now. Every night I go through a process of checking my phone, and making sure that I haven’t missed a call from my best friend that her water broke and that I need to rush to the hospital first thing. Being gone the last two weekends made this paranoia even worse, thinking that I was going to have to hop a plane back to Seattle at a moment’s notice and cut my vacations short – something I would have happily done.

Then, I remember that I still haven’t packed my baby-go bag! I did have the foresight to charge one of my additional camera batteries for the occasion, but what else do you pack in your baby-go bag if you’re not the expectant parent – just the best friend/photographer for the day? Beer? I do have that. For me and the daddy to be, not for the baby. In case you were wondering.

I suppose another addition into the baby-go back is also going to be yoga pants and my running shoes. If I’m hustlin’ there isn’t no way skinny jeans are going to be involved. And then, what? Snacks? If Beka can’t eat while she’s in labor, it’s probably best I not kick back like this is a sporting event with a spread of food around. But maybe a granola bar or two?  Probably a protein gel slam pack from REI. Kidding, those things are dank.

So if you have any suggestions for what a FRIEND should pack in their hospital bag-  I’m all ears! And panic.

I suppose snacks should be included, I’m a firm believer in fueling up – like ya know because eating is the spice of life. And the only thing always on my mind. Darigold has now come out with a new line of white cheddar, using their high quality ingredients. And it’s not just sharp cheddar, but medium, and a shredded white cheddar as well. Try them all and pick your favorite! It might be a harder decision than what goes into my best friend baby-go bag!
