Ze Diaper Bag

Seeing I'll be a new mommy in about a month {ah-gasp! Really?}, 
I've had my eye on a few things I've wanted to get for baby and me.

How cute is that phrase?
Baby and me. 

Seriously. 
I am so stoked to be getting a new best friend in a few weeks!
We'll have napping parties together, 
she'll eat my food ;), 
I'll get to play dress up with her every day, 
we'll smile together, 
cry together, 
snuggle together, 
love Daddy together...:)

Yeah. 
Life is good.

ANYWAY.
Side tangent.
Back to what I've had my eye on.

A few months ago I started looked at diaper bags. 
Can I just say?
The prices of some diaper bags are ridiculously insane. 
Like really? 
I just want something cute and reasonable to put my baby girl's stuff in!

Too much to ask?
Ya. Sometimes.

Well, I went on a hunt. 
Of course I'm all about cheap and a good deal, 
but at the same time, I knew this bag was gonna become
my new purse that would become my other new best friend. ;)

So though the bag for $20 bucks looked inviting because of price, 
I was willing to pay a bit more for something I loved 
and I knew I would use for all my kids.

An investment!

I went to a few different stores and searched lots
{and LOTS....and LOTS...}
and then BAM. 

I saw my perfect match.
And it wasn't an arm and a leg in price!
Even better.




Once I decided this was it, 
I couldn't WAIT to get it. 

It's very roomy, 
made of that awesome fabric you need for a diaper bag
{kinda....plasticy-roughish...if ya know what I mean. Easy for cleaning},
CUTEST print ever, 
gender neutral, 
looks like a purse {seriously}, 
has lots of pockets and such for all your baby needs, 
a changing pad included,
and is totally my style. 

Woot!
I found this beauty at Target.
It was $44.99, 
which may seem like a lot, 
but wait till you start researching diaper bags
and you'll find that's nothin'. :)

I was helping with a choir camp for a few days
and got paid so I used that money for my new diaper bag. 
So kinda like free! ;)

However, 
actually getting the bag was an ordeal. 
I kept my eye on it forever at the AF Target
and when I finally got the money from the camp 
and went to redeem my prize, 
THEY WERE ALL GONE.

Nooooo!

So I went online and saw other stores that had them....
but upon going to the store, 
they didn't actually have them in stock.

I was about to just order it online, 
but then saw a few days later that AF Target
said they were in stock again. 

So I went that second 
and got my new prize!

Dude, 
I love it. 

I'm so excited to put all Charlotte's things in there
and to take it with me. 
{Okay, baby mama nerdy. But let me be excited
for a sec while I'm still stoked about carrying all her stuff 
while it lasts}. ;)

****

So my advice?

When it comes to the diaper bag, 
don't just go with the cheapest one unless you really LOVE it. 
It really will become your new purse {all Mama's agree!}, 
and you might as well get one that will last for a long time.

Totally worth it!

By the way.....
4 1/2 WEEKS LEFT!

:)
