What's in Your Travel First Aid Kit?

Hi Mamas! We are getting ready to go on a family trip before baby 2 arrives. We have a 20 month old son who is becoming more adventurous by the day. :) Thankfully he's only had a few bumps and bruises and scrapes that we've been able to care for at home. That being said, I'm packing over the next few days and I'd like to get a first aid kit together, for things like stings, bites, scrapes, cuts, burns, whatever we need to be prepared, I suppose. Do you have a first aid kit? What's are the essentials? Thanks everyone!

When I do research on taking Claritin during pregnancy, my understanding is that it is considered "safe", in that they have no evidence that it causes birth defects. Am I OK to continue taking it? I want other opinions from moms in addition to my doctor's. Not taking some allergy med is not an option, as I can barely breathe or function...
