Diaper Bags!

Choosing a diaper bag was one of the hardest baby purchases to date!  Any shopping I've done recently has been for Baby Girl, which I love, or for maternity clothes, which I hate.  The diaper bag really felt like something more for me.  I love purses but for the next couple of years the diaper bag is going to replace my purse, so I should love the diaper bag I choose too, right?  I spent countless hours going over reviews of diaper bags.  There were lots of bags with great reviews for under $100, Skip Hop brand bags get great scores for functionality, but they look like diaper bags (yes, I realize they are diaper bags but we've had this talk about irrational thinking...); they are a cute baby accessory, but not a cute mom accessory.  Next I delved into the world of expensive diaper bags and I was sold, there was no going back.  I narrowed it down to three brands, Ju Ju Be, Petunia Pickle Bottom, or Coach.  The selling factor ended up being Coach's unique marketing strategy.  They call their bag a multipurpose tote, it just happens to have elasticized pockets that fit bottles and a matching changing pad, but it's not being labeled as a diaper bag.  So to me this seemed like the best option because after diaper bag days I can just use it as a tote bag.  And the colors are pretty awesome.

Look at all these pockets!  And there are four pockets on the outside too!

So now that I picked out the diaper bag for me, I am refreshing the shipping page every five minutes patiently waiting for it to arrive.  Yes, I'm way too excited about this diaper bag.  But I'm just using up that allotted pregnant lady irrational thinking time.
