To distract my mind from the happenings in the hospital room, we're bringing audio/visual stimulation in the form of magazines, music, and t.v. shows. We are still considering whether or not to bring the laptop, which will allow us to watch The Sopranos, 'cause nothing says "Hey, we're giving birth here!" like watching Mr. Gandolfini mafia-style.
US Weekly (so I don't have to think)
Brain, Child (so I can think if I want to)
iPod nano (recently purchased and loaded with music and t.v. shows)

That's fun.
Not sure if you've heard this yet, but it would be a good idea for Darren to bring home a blanket with the smell of the baby on it for the dog to get used to before you come home. (or whoever is taking care of the dog - if Darren is planning on staying the entire time.)
Also - your hospital charges for tylenol? That's crazy. Our hospital gave us a bunch of swaddling blankets and free pain medication. Well, "free" plus whatever our insurance paid and whatever we paid (I think it was about $300).
Oh - and some hospitals have wireless internet - have you asked about that? That would be a good reason to bring the laptop - but then again - maybe you just want to use all that time to stare at your new Baby.
Good luck!
I had heard that and we will be carefully introducing the R.A. to Beauty the wonder dog. My lovely brother has agreed to come and collect our smelly dog to get her out of the house and keep her for probably the first week the baby is home so we have time to adjust to having a kid before trying to deal with having a kid and a needy dog.
Wireless internet at the hospital? Cool!
Another thing I read recently is your own set of jammies. Obviously they'll be giving you the latest in hospital fashion for the birth, but since you won't be discharged the same day it's nice to get into your own comfies to enjoy being a new mom! :)
Bought some new pajamas just for the occasion.
