  I love the one I have.  Has everything that a father needs, and sometimes my wife uses mine even though she has her pretty Vera Bradley bag all to herself!!

  I have a bag that is mine (though now that our son uses less stuff, we've moved to a little backpack that is actually supposed to be for our son, and will be once the new one comes and we move back to a full sized bag again).  Mine is a Columbia, over the shoulder bag.  It is green.  I think it has been discontinued, so I'm not even going to attempt to try to track it down online.  I like having one that is mine, because if I'm going somewhere on my own, or if my wife is taking him somewhere, dropping him off with a grandparent (where they have all their own stuff for him) and I'm picking him up, I don't have to worry about if the bag made it with.

  We're not at the point of specifics yet, but we're planning on each having our own bag. We're just assuming (and it's a safe assumption) that my wife's bag will turn into a purse as well. Plus I keep joking with her that I want something "manly" and not floral - which isn't really a joke, I am not fond of walking around with a pink or floral pattern bag.

  We only have one diaper bag that goes with our son.  Depending on where we are going we may or may not even take it with us.  I picked this one out since my MIL basically took over our initial one (she is our day care provider).

  I can assure you, your wife will not allow her diaper bag to be turned into a purse.  There is just way too much stuff to take when you are out with the baby. Remember, there are feedings, changings, blankets, burp cloths, pacies, formula and water and milk if she pumps.  I tell you this as the husband of a wife who is wilded-eyed about her purse. The diaper bag is for baby, her purse is for her. I am lucky if I can put the car keys and my wallet in the diaper bag when we are out and about.

  That diaper bag is bursting when baby goes out with us for extended periods of time.

  Forgot about wipes, empty ziploc bags for dirty diapers (not every place is baby friendly, so you have to transport the baby waste with you sometimes. The times I have to change Jake in the car are really fun:-))) and of course at least ten diapers in the bag as well.

  My diaper bag is from Eddie Bauer. It's a lot smaller than my wife's bag and her bag is a Coach...so it's not my favorite to carry.

  We both have duffel style bags but I think I rather have a backpack, just easier to carry, for when my son gets older. My goal is to upgrade when my kid is bigger, but I'll probably stick with Eddie Bauer if they have one, their bags are crazy good and all have a lifetime warranty.

  My DH loves the Diaper Dude over the shoulder satchel (not the messenger bag one!) Our LO hasn't even been  born yet and DH flat out refuses to carry my JJ Cole pink floral bag-- for whatever reason .
