Let the packing begin!

I've started collecting items that I will need in my hospital bag, or at least they say you will need. I just bought my pads for the ever so long bleeding and also bought nursing pads. I also have some underwear that I don't care about so it can be ruined and will be getting some sugar free hard candy to suck on. What other types of items should I be prepared to have? I'll be bringing my iPod, can I bring the little player for it too or will it only be headphones? I'll be making a playlist of my favorite Dave Matthews Band and Coldplay music but everything will be on the iPod in case I want something else - though I doubt it. So, yeah... what things do I need to make sure I pack?

On another note... while at the store today, we were looking at cloth diapers. I love the ones with the flushable insert, but that's more money than regular diapers. So, I asked what is done with dirty cloth diapers and such - especially poop, or the exploding diaper. After talking it over, it seems like something we could do - plus it's greener, a lot greener. However, we already have quite a few diapers here, maybe not enough to last us for a full year, but quite a bit. Perhaps, if we find ourselves tight on money, we will seriously look into it. But, given that our diaper genie is all set up and the amount of diapers we have thanks to my MIL, it doesn't make sense to switch right now before he's even here. Hmm, more things to ponder.
