SHOW & TELL: Show Us Your *Diaper Bag*

We're all getting so much closer to D-day and I thought it would be fun
to feature something new every few days for us to show off.
Links and pictures appreciated!
What are you using to carry all of your LO's 'stuff' around?
Will you use a purse as well?

A friend gave this to me and I love it!
It's really spacious, so I imagine I can fit most of his stuff in it, and that DH won't mind carrying it, either.
I feel like I will still use a purse, or I might lose my mind, but time will tell!
For my bag, just using a free duffle DH got from work.
I don't carry a purse now so will certainly not be carrying one later!
I'm just not very girlie

Thats the bag I bought recently. I assure you I did NOT pay that much for it! I'm hoping to use it as a purse also since it has a "mommy pocket". We'll see!
This JuJuBe bag. DH has a Diaper Dude bag. It's blue and orange.
I'll probably use a small purse when I'm not with the baby.
We just got this one:

It was bought from my registry. I wanted something neutral that DH wouldn't mind carrying. It's pretty spacious, with plenty of pockets. I'm going to try to put my necessities in there, but I'm sure I'll end up carrying a purse - just like how I always carried one with my laptop bag for work.
This JJCole bag. Pretty basic - we'll see how it holds up. If it's a dud, I'll probably get a Vera Bradley diaper bag. Definitely not using it as a purse, my handbag collection would be oh-so-sad. DH could care less what he carries, so I'm sure he'll use it too, but I do have another basic black tote I can send him out with if he so desires.
This is one that DH bought me a while back, It has owls on it, which he knows I like and has a changing pad.

I will probably use a small bag, wallet, something or other, that I can throw in the bag when out and about.

Mine looks similar to this one but in a periwinkle blue:
And our friends got this one for R:
We also got a bag similar to the one below from my MIL. Not exactly my style but I do like it. It will be the bag my mom/day care uses (I think, but there aren't a lot of pockets so I'm not sure):
I got a Vera Bradley discontinued for $30
It has a matching pad and bottle cooler. I will likely still have a purse.
I got this Kate Spade diaper bag as a birthday gift from my hubby.
This is ours. Eddie Bauer - Belmont Collection. Wanted something simple that DH would also be willing to carry around.
My SIL got me this one for Christmas from my registry! I love it and it seems like it should be useful since it's got plenty of pockets and it's waterproof. I can't wait for Liam to get here so I can use it!

That's a great looking bag!

I can't decide! Haven't registered yet. But am looking at the Skip Hop Via Messenger https://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Messenger-Diaper-Green/dp/B000YM9QZ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
This is the one I purchased, I will just carry a clutch in the bag.
I am using the Timi and Leslie Charlie bag, https://www.amazon.com/leslie-Convertible-Charlie-Diaper-Mustard/dp/B003TW5JAM, (sorry I can't make it clicky) I love it and received it for a shower gift the other weekend from my mom and sister. It's HUGE so I'll use it as a purse, too. It comes with a smaller clutch that I'll use when I'm not with the baby.

My computer is being evil so I can't post the picture of it, but here's a link to a photo of it.
This is mine!! I got it in the brown/pink.

I don't think I'll be using a purse in addition. The bag has the "Mommy pocket" that I can keep all of my things in :-)

I wanted one with a lot of features. I'm not a purse kind of person, but it has room for wallet. It has stroller hooks, a changing pad, paci purse, and plenty of other pockets. And it's not too girly. This will be a bag for all day or when we take trips to visit family.
We have a smaller bag that will go with babysitters, or on trips to the store. It's also a JJ Cole but it's smaller and pink.

The weekend I got my BFP, my mom was in town, and we saw these in Nordstrom's...she wanted to buy me one right then and there, but I was too nervous about the pg still. But she remembered and this was my big Christmas present
.
I have 3 Vera Bradley bags that I rotate. Right now I am using this Vera in Blue Rhapsody. It only closes with a toggle at the top, so not so great at keeping things from falling out and no outside pockets for bottles/sippies, but it holds a lot. I also have a Pleated Tote in Java Blue (love this one for it's side pockets big enough to hold sippy cups!) and the Baby Bag in Purple Punch with the matching changing pad and cooler. I would link pics for the last two, but it looks like those bags in those colors are discontinued on the website.
I throw a wristlet with my money and cards into whatever bag I'm carrying for baby. It's easy to grab that out to go in somewhere quick without lugging the whole diaper bag every time. Two bags is too much to bother with when there so many things to remember. I never had enough room to fit even a small purse inside my baby bag with all the stuff, and I've still managed to leave the wristlet sitting on the roof of my car while I buckled LO into his carseat and drove away twice.
This is a pretty crappy pic but it's the Marc Jacobs Elizababy Diaper Bag. You can't tell from the pic but it also has a crossbody/messenger strap. I fell so hard for it but it was out of my price range and this pattern was discontinued.
Wound up finding it on eBay for a ridiculous steal and it's "like new" but you can't tell it's ever been used. Score!

I bought this 2 1/2 years ago when I was pregnant with DS #1 and I LOVE it. it has plenty of room and lots of pockets. I use the front pouch for my stuff, the rest is for DS's stuff.
This is the bag I have but it is in a solid grey w/black straps.
I got this but in all black, just look like a large purse
Love this Squish!
I went pretty plain Jane for mine -
https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11912552
that will be for everyday use.
https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11059611
and this for daycare when I need to pack more stuff or when we are going to be gone for a long weekend or day trip.
Our diaper bag will double as my purse. I don't carry a purse now, so I'll just throw anything I need to carry in the diaper bag.

It took me forever to find one that I love and is big enough to carry baby and my stuff around plus not be too girly so my husband won't be to embarassed holding it.
My literal diaper bag. It's made by Skip Hop and I ordered it from Pottery Barn Kids with LO's initials on it.
Haven't decided if I'll still carry a purse. Probably not, but I'll see how it goes...
