...Diaper Bag.

I'm trying to decide if I should go more expensive or less expensive.  (Say, JJ Cole vs. Eddie Bauer, for example, but not specifically those brands.)

    First of all, I can't believe you're 17 weeks pregnant... it's going so fast (for me!)

    Ok, I went with a ridiculous diaper bag at first - it's the LV Totally and I deeply lusted it even though there's like no pockets inside (well, two, but whatever).  I realize now that it was just a love affair and completely impractical.

    So, last week, I bought a new one - I got THIS and I absolutely love it.  It's very comforable to wear as a messenger and has three inside pockets plus an outside pocket.  It's super soft too.  I retired my Louis to wear only as luggage...  and looking back it was bulky and uncomfortable.

    ETA: I realize the link only takes you to the coach poppy collection.  The one I got is the fourth from the left (crazy colors + gold Poppy) in the first big row.  It's a crazy bag, but something in it spoke to me... not to be all zen about bags, or anything, haha.

    I say go with something you really love and has a lot of compartments because you'll be wearing it every day.   Also, make sure it's comfortable on your shoulder.

    I have a Skip Hop Studio.  I like that it's big enough to hold everything & doesn't look like a diaper bag.  I think it was around $100.

    I have the Fleurville re-run messenger. It is a blue and green pattern. I think I spent about $75. I like it a lot, sometimes I wish it was just a touch bigger but I think in the long run I will be happy it's not. It has 3 main compartments inside and 3 outside pockets, enough for me to know where everything is. It is also made out of recycled water bottles which is a bonus. Fleurville also makes the mothership which is pretty popular I think, it is a little bigger.

    I had one custom made on Etsy. I love everything about it- still. I only paid $80 & it will be something I can use forever bc it doesn't have baby designs or even look like a dipe bag :-)

    I just used a backpack.  Eddie Bauer from WalMart, cost about $30.  You can fit a crapton in there and it works just as well as a regular diaper bag.  I loved that I could wear it light a backpack because when you're trying to haul a 2 year old in a strolled up and down 6 flights of subway stairs a day... well... being able to wear it that way is handy.  :)

    I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag.  I love it!  It has a ton of compartments and its just really pretty.  I wanted one that would be practical and also look good since it is my purse too.   With Rowen I had a Vera Bradley bag and I loved it too.  Look for something with lots of different compartments inside of it so things are easy to find.  I also love having outside pockets for my keys and phone.

    I wound up getting a Juicy Couture diaper bag, which is great, but if I had to do it all over again I probably would not get it....For the money DH spent on it, it is not wearing well at all.

    I just recently bought one from an etsy seller and love it!!!! And it was only around 30.00

    Skip Hop Dash Deluxe, this color matches our travel system.  I figured since they would be used together, they should look like they belong together.

    Love it, holds everything (and I pack a lot in there!), and not to bulky. Biggest selling point for me was the stroller clips that easily clip around the handles of the coach.

    I got mine from Etsy. It took me forever to find one that I liked that didn't cost a million dollars. I like this one a lot, it is very big has plently of compartments and cleans easily if you spill anything on it! Plus I am a sucker for anything monogrammed! Mel also ordered a bag from this seller. image
