Diaper Bag

 



Well my diaper bag has been ordered.  It is the picture above, but the pattern in Minty Chip which you see in the second row, second from the left.

This is a thirty-one bag (does everyone know what that is?  it is an at-home purse/tote party thing) so it isn't technically a 'diaper bag'.

I hope I like it.  The biggest 'con' in my opinion is that it doesn't zip which disappoints me a little.

But here is why I got it:
1. I am having two showers and my mom is coming to both of them...soooooo...this is actually a gift from her for my shower.  My first shower she is gifting me my bedding and this is my gift for the second.
2.  She went to a thirty-one bag party of a friends and she said she has plenty of purses and totes and didn't need anymore, but wanted to buy from her friend, so she decided to just get me a diaper bag..she let me pick from the catalog.
3.  I like exterior pockets.  You see two on the front, two elastic mesh ones on the side, and on the back is three more exterior pockets.  I like to put frequently used items in them instead of at the bottom of the big part.  My current purse has one exterior pocket and I find myself using it a bunch.
4.  The biggest appeal is that they personalize.  My mom also got me a mini zipper pouch to put in it.  The outside of the bag is going to have our last name (because I want to use it for future babies and then when my babies don't need diapers anymore, I can use it as a tote in general.  I like to get usage out of items.) and the little pouch will just have the first letter of our last name on it. 

Here is the mini zipper pouch and again it is the same minty chip pattern to match the diaper bag.

I will be purchasing a changing pad.  What do you think?
