For me: a nightgown that I could nurse from, comfortable underwear to wear with those HUGE pads they give you to put on, extra socks, a pair of slippers, a few hair ties and headbands, my brush, toothbrushes and toothpaste for honey and I, travel lotion and soap, a few snacks and a change of clothes to go home. Pretty simply. For baby, I over packed my first time but my second and third I brought a couple indies, an outfit for pictures, and a nice going home outfit. The hospital will give you diapers and wipes to take home and a few other things so make sure you have room.
