Take the teddy bear if he soothes you...for sure.
I wouldn't go over board and bring to much stuff, it ends up being useless in the end.
What I would bring is:
one outfit for the baby to go home in
an outfit for professional photos
one outfit for yourself
quarters
favorite book or mag
hard candies (epidural leaves nasty taste in mouth)
maybe a disc man or mp3 player with some soothing songs
The hospital provides most of the necessities and the baby won't be doing a fashion show neither because of the umbilical cord stub.
I'm excited for you, be sure to update!!
