Hey you, look over there to the right. See that nifty little count down thing there. Yeah that one, the blue one. Okay now read it. It's okay pick up your jaw, I'm know I'm shocked too that I'm going to have a baby in exactly two fucking months AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A GODDAMN FUCKING DIAPER BAG! So heres the final verdict. I need a bag and I need it soon. Seriously people I only have two months to unpack and repack and unpack and repack and two months is not nearly enough time!!! We are in crisis mode people.
So I was orginally going to buy this bag by Fleurville. First and formost its pretty. Which come on is very very important right. It has a lot of features and looks great on a stroller. But lets be realistic people this bag is just not big enough for all the junk I need to pack. The most important thing is that I need a matching medicine kit becuase I have to carry a full size bottle of Benadryl, and an epi at all times (stupid peanut allergies), plus infant tylenol, childrens Tylenol, Motrin and so on, and about 49830258 bajillion droppers because each thing has to be measured just right and Benadryl apparantly thinks that bottling their stuff with the same amount of active ingredient each time is just tooo fucking simple. Sooo I need a dropper that can covnert to 5ml and that works in Tsp and one that can figure out how much 25 ml is so I can convert that down to 5ml and oh my fuck do I fucking hate peanut allergies. Okay back to the important part here. THE BAG. Anyway after finding a medicine bag big enough to accommodate all that plus clippers, and thermometers and stuff, that barely leaves room for two different sets of diapers and a change of clothes (or two because my babies tend to blow up their diaper with each poop) well there is just not enough room in this bag. Sooo by by pretty bag.
SEEE LOOK HOW PRETTY AND SHINY AND WASHABLE I AM, TO BAD I'M A TINY LITTLE WHORE AND SHANNON CAN'T FIT ALL HER GOODIES IN ME.
You should also know that I want a bag that has a messenger strap but does not have one of those stupid messenger flaps that comes over the bag because i need to be able to just reach right in and pull out what I need you know. I need separate pockets for each size diaper, and space for my nick nacks and basically I'm just being a picky little bitch about my bag.
Enter the Ju Ju Be bag. Its ugly as shit, but wait, scroll down look at all those features. One of the neatest ones is I can make it zip all the way shut or adjust the zippers so the top stays open like I like. I can have tote straps, a messenger strap or stroller straps and it is all included. Go ahead and read about it down there k.
Look this description alone just screams out THIS BAG IS FOR YOU SHANNON. Two kids even...Wow!
OOoooo features.
But oh my gosh people look how wide this bag opens up. all the pockets and trinkets and stuff. Oooooooooo!
Then I will be buying the snack pack featured here for my medicine bag. It matches, plus it is tall enough to keep all the full medicine bottles upright, fit the epi pen and keep all the droppers in a neat clean area.
Soo what do you think. Do I ignore the fact that it isn't very pretty and pay attention to the fact the it's features give me a tiny baby bag orgasm or do I go for the pretty bag that is just going to piss me off in the end? Hmmmmmm?
Also, I've looked at all the other bags on the Fleurville site, the O Yikes, the skip hop (barf) and so on. If you are going to suggest something it better be able to beat this bag in size and features. It has to be at least 15 inches wide and at least a food tall, and it has to have a wide opening, no flappy thingies and lots of pockets. Good luck happy hunting.

Wow I am not even going to argue. I think you've found your bag! Who cares if it's not that pretty? It's functional and we don't want you getting all pissed off at your pretty bag!
Seriously, it's going to be covered in baby vomit, poop and melted ice cream in like 2 days so who cars what it looks like. And I find it funny that the crazy lady in the yuppy store knew what she was talking about ("well we are getting in some Ju Ju's next week").
Yes, yes, that is it. It is the one bag you must have. Okay it is not prettiest of all bags but you have probably heard of inner beauty and "other qualities". So, nobody puts Baby in the corner. Go and get that handy little monster.
Get the Ju Ju Be bag!!! Hell I want one too & I don't have any babies. All those pockets you are going to knock yourself out packing and unpacking it.
I'll look out for some other suggestions tomorrow but that bag is going to be hard to beat.
Are you familiar with diapees and wipees? They are small bags that just help with organizing. You could have one for each kid's diapers. You can just take that small part into restrooms, rather than the entire bag. Or, if you have more than one bag, you can easily pull out the diapers and wipes to put them in another bag. These would work great with any diaper bag. I have one for my daughter, but I am going to get another one for my next baby as well.
