It has a wrap-around deck, so it's possible we'll be spending time outside while he naps. Maybe I should bring it just in case... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738501 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 12:33:38 +0000 RubyCali 1738501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I only take mine when we travel to my ILs since we spend a lot of time outside. If we are staying in a condo or hotel I know I'll hear her loud and clear without a monitor :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738422 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 12:14:44 +0000 Adira 1738422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RubyCali: Hmmmm... I'm not sure! I'll add that as a maybe because I'd REALLY hate to accidentally leave it there! But I can definitely see how it could come in handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738418 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 12:13:27 +0000 RubyCali 1738418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a baby monitor? We are out of town too and it comes in handy to listen for when LO wakes up from her nap while we are outside on the patio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738124 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:41:56 +0000 Adira 1738124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: haha, okay, I'll just bring all our spoons (6)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738120 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:40:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 1738120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More spoons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738112 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:37:33 +0000 Adira 1738112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: hahahaha, that's kind of awesome. You're silly. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1738109 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:36:09 +0000 Applesandbananas 1738109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, go Adira! I'm horrible at packing and forgot diapers (aside from the 5-6 we always have in the diaper bag). Thankfully, there's a Target nearby and we can grab a pack :)</p> <p>Good luck on your road trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737907 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 09:33:12 +0000 Adira 1737907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Yeah, I'm thinking of doing that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737892 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 09:28:18 +0000 dagret 1737892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I like to pack a separate car bag (or diaper bag) with diapers, wipes, extra onesie (in case of blowout or vom), snacks and toys for the ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737715 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:44:49 +0000 Adira 1737715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyG: Thanks! I was thinking I'd bring some toys for the ride, but I'm also hoping he might nap for at least half of it!! Fingers crossed!</p> <p>@aegie: Yep, I'm adding a stroller to my list! Thanks!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: haha, thanks!!! I just hope it all fits in my car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737705 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:42:28 +0000 Smurfette 1737705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I always over pack too. DH laughs at me an how much I pack. I bring a whole pack of diapers for an over night trip. I always pack the Nose Frieda cause with R being in day care she can be fine one day and then the next have a runny nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737699 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:39:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 1737699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm an overpacker too, so I get it. I was going to suggest a thermometer and an entire pack of diapers. They won't go back and I'd rather have extra (DH ALWAYS rolls his eyes when he sees the entire suitcase I pack for C :) ) Nose Frieda is probably overkill unless he's sick. As for bath stuff, I have a trial size J&amp;J body wash that I got in the BBB gift bag when you register, that I keep in my always packed toiletry bag, just in case. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737688 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:36:31 +0000 aegie 1737688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would bring shampoo and body wash to help wash off the sunscreen/bug spray. A lovey if he has one. and stain remover spray to pre-treat. A hat just in case. extra clothes because if you don't have extra clothes THAT's when they'll get super dirty. do you need a carrier or stroller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737640 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:22:05 +0000 JennyG 1737640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just drove 9 hours (split over two days) and it helped to have a bag with small toys. When LO would start fussing, I'd hand him one. He'd entertain himself for a little while and then most likely throw it on the ground. This way I had more to give him without having to scramble to get them off the floor. If it's only 3 hours, you should be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737626 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:18:01 +0000 Adira 1737626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyG: It's about 3 hours away, so not like ridiculously far or anything, but definitely the furthest we've gone with Xander before!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737595 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:08:35 +0000 JennyG 1737595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring some extra bibs. My LO makes an absolute mess and I can really only use a bib for one, maybe two meals. </p> <p>Definitely sound machine! </p> <p>Are you driving far? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737545 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:45:48 +0000 Adira 1737545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Good call on the nose frieda! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737536 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:40:52 +0000 Smurfette 1737536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nose Frieda<br /> Shampoo/Conditioner<br /> Therometer<br /> Sound machine<br /> books </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737530 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:37:44 +0000 Adira 1737530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: I don't think we'll have an opportunity to go swimming, so I was going to skip that stuff! I think we'll be too busy, plus I'm not sure there's a lake or anything near where we're staying.</p> <p>Good call on the thermometer! And our diaper bag does have a folded changing pad, so we'll definitely have that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737525 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:35:10 +0000 Pumuckl 1737525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you in proximity of a lake or water then you might want to bring swim diapers and a hooded towel.</p> <p>Don't forget the thermometer. </p> <p>Do you have access to a change pad otherwise I'd bring a reusable change pad or a couple of puppy pads.</p> <p>If I can think of anything else while I'll pack tonight, I'll add it :)</p> <p>ETA: Doesn't Mrs. Bee have a printable pack list on the blog somewhere, that might also be worth to check out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737515 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:25:23 +0000 Adira 1737515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: Nope! We're thankfully pacifier weaned! But I should probably bring some extra A&amp;A blankets because he's OBSESSED with those.</p> <p>And good call with @Mrs. Jump Rope: I'll just bring an entire pack of diapers so I don't have to worry about not having enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737513 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:24:08 +0000 sweetooth 1737513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does Xander need a pacifier/binky? I also second what @Mrs. Jump Rope: said about diapers. Rather than think of a quantity, I'd rather have more than enough. </p> <p>Unless you're camping out in the woods, keep in mind, you can probably pop in to a Target or some other store if you forgot anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737507 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:21:23 +0000 Adira 1737507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Oh yeah, good point. Especially now that Xander is learning to use a spoon, dinners are a disaster! I'll bring more clothes!</p> <p>@looch: Oh, actually, I think I might have one of those little trial sized baby wash bottles. I need to find it. Good call. And I'll totally add surge protector to my list, you crazy person, but I'm going to pack it under stuff so Hubs doesn't know how crazy I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737502 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:19:31 +0000 looch 1737502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'd bring at least a trial sized bottle, it's better to have it than not, especially if you need to wash his hair (it's really muggy out and my son's head sweats a lot in this weather).</p> <p>Haha, surge protector, you know you need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737501 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:18:51 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1737501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm an overpacker so your list looks pretty good to me. I'd probably take more clothes, too. At that age, I counted on getting dirty at each meal so I'd have 6 outfits for each day. Yes, I know I'm insane... but I also know my kid :)</p> <p>We always traveled with an entire package of diapers. We had room in the car, and would only take what we needed for the day. It was easier than being in a jam and trying to find a store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737494 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:16:25 +0000 Dandelion 1737494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd bring some extra clothes for him just in case, but otherwise it looks good to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737492 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:16:03 +0000 Adira 1737492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Hmm... Xander usually only bathes twice a week, so I was thinking I could skip the baby wash stuff. But maybe I should bring it just in case he gets really dirty or I need to wash sunscreen off him! And good call on the white noise! Our white noise has a night light too. Ugh, surge protector - you're killing me. :P</p> <p>@NaturallyCathy: Books! Gahhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-for-the-weekend-am-i-missing-anything#post-1737485 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1737485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you forgot the kitchen sink ;) But other than that looks pretty solid! Don't forget a book or two or anything that helps him sleep. Maybe invest in a sleep soundtrack you can put on repeat on your phone </p>
