I hope all goes well with your big announcement!!

Yeah, tax returns can lead to serious baby shopping. DH bought me (mothers day in advance, lol) the diaper bag I wanted with a matching wallet. I LOOOOOVE IT!

This bag in peacock and this wallet in peacock. I'd feel guilty over the price if if were for tax returns but I wanted it sooooo badly!

Ooh! I want the Vera Bradley diaper bag, too! I'm actually buying it for a friend in Daisy Daisy for her shower next week. I'm hoping someone likes me enough to buy it for me, too, in a few months

[Meshell]

Oooh I can't wait to be in the states and go shopping again! Just a few more months.

I also got a Vera Bradley bag, it is the Miller Bag in the Medallion print. I liked it better then the baby bag and I like that it has 6 pockets inside to organize all of your items! I also sort of felt guilty for the purchase but if I am going to CD again then I needed a bigger bag!

I saw that in the store. That bag is HUGE! I bet you'll be very happy with it. The baby bag came with such a nice changing pad, that sold me.

Interesting to hear that about BGs being made in Egypt but finished in the USA. I remember when it was a big deal that all their tags suddenly said "Made in the USA"--apparently before that they were all made in China. Anyway, I haven't been super impressed with the BGs. The 2.0s were a huge improvement over the 1.0s--I like PUL much more than the nylon outer, but I've had issues with the snaps, velcro and elastic. To be fair, Cotton Babies has replaced some stuff for me, even well outside the guarantee period, but I just don't think I'll bother with any more BGs. At $18/diaper I would expect them to last longer and stay looking nicer WAY longer than they do. I have some Swaddlebees pockets that are so old the fleece is nearly transparent in places but the elastic is still in perfect condition.
