Tylenol, Gas drops, any health type items like that. Baby monitor?

I walk myself through the daily routine, and next to each activity I write down the supplies required for each, so I know, at a minimum, what I need. Then I go back and fill in for the what ifs, i.e., what if LO has more blowouts than I planned for, what basic meds/baby care items would be great to have on hand for gas, etc.

If space is an issue, I doubt you'll need the gym. When LO goes to visit her grandparents, they never put her down!

@hilsy85: She gets sunshine so we can skip the vitamin drops, thermometer is a good idea. We're expecting high 70's for weather, and her carseat has a cover on it, so no stroller cover. We haven't used gas drops yet, so if we need those, DH or FIL can go buy them.
@cascademom: Snotsucker. Good call. I keep an extra paci in her diaper bag and her regular one is always tethered to her.
@Bao: She'll be sleeping next to us in a room off of the living room, so no monitor will be needed.
@MsLipGloss: I'm trying to do that!
@yoursilverlining: On our day trips there, she's loved having the gym, plus people lay next to her and play with it. I'm actually thinking about skipping it so that they'll get one for her to play with. MIL and I are going to a consignment sale on Saturday.
Thanks all!
