BUT.
I'm excited to announce that baby #2 is on the way!
Yes, you read that right. Yes, my daughter is only 10 months old and will only be 16 months when the new babe is born (assuming this baby comes on time and not early again like her). Yes, I realize that's kind of nuts. No, it wasn't exactly 'planned' per se, but we are totally thrilled and excited. We will just have a chaotic household for a bit :)
That's where I've been. Busy being a mom to a mobile almost-toddler. And busy puking and being tired and making another baby. Haha. SO much fun. But really, it's all worth it. It's so much easier to look at my little girl and see what all comes from the unpleasantries of pregnancy. The not-so-awesome symptoms are tons easier to deal with.
SO...question for the mamas out there. Any suggestions for a large diaper bag that will fit enough outfits/food/diapers for two little ones? My current Petunia Pickle Bottom is great but won't cut it for two sets of everything.
I'm loving this Timi & Leslie bag right now:
I know without a doubt that it's big enough...but is it worth the price?? That's the big question.
And sadly, because we are still in our itty 2 bedroom apartment, I won't have another nursery to decorate (or a 2-child room to redecorate). Eden's current nursery is only 7 feet by 9 feet. All I can fit is the dresser, her crib, a hamper, and a couple baskets for blankets, towels, and burp cloths. So baby #2 will be in a pack n play in our bedroom unless there's such a thing as stackable cribs (haha!). But I'll probably still fantasize about what I'd do with another baby room and post about it after we find out the gender in just 8 weeks.
Due date is set for August 22nd (again, if this one doesn't also decide to come a month early). I'll try to get another post up here pretty soon!
Congratulations on Baby #2!!! My first two babies are 18 months apart and I am now pregnant with Baby #3 who is due 16 months after my second... my first 2 were each born 3 & 4 weeks early, so we're expecting it'll be more like 15 months apart :) sounds very similar to you! I am due April 16.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great choice in diaper bags!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought that exact bag recently! I have the black one. It is DEFINITELY roomy and so organized! And I love how stylish it is! I was never willing to sacrifice my personal style simply because I had kiddos! I love that it's a chic bag! And the cute little clutch that comes with it is perfect for when I go out sans kids! And YES it's worth the price!!! I got a great deal on mine though.... Amazon.com has a "Warehouse Deals" section (you kinda have to search for it... it's in tiny print at the very bottom of the home page) and I got this bag through there for only 54.00!!! The deal is that the box has been opened before and then returned. BUT never used. So the bag was still in it's original packaging with wrapped buckles and everything! It's just that probably someone else ordered it and it wasn't the color they expected, etc. so they sent it back. But Amazon can't sell it as new anymore.... Whew that was a long explanation but I hope that you can score one through there too! The bag is AWESOME and such great quality.. I HIGHLY recommend :) :)
Congratulations again on Baby #2! My first 2 are best friends already and I'm so excited to add a third to their close knit little bond :) Think of how fun it will be when our kids are older that they will all be so close in age!
