I have been a big time blog slug because I was SO certain Bradley would come early!  Well, due date is Sunday and I am still pregs so I guess I was wrong!

One of my favorite Bradley purchases that we have made is our diaper bag - the MZ Wallace Kate!  It arrived a few weeks (maybe months now??) ago and I couldn't be more excited about this baby necessity. :)
Right when I found out we were pregnant, I knew this would be my diaper bag, so I told Nate we have to start saving!  I didn't even shop around - it was a no brainer.  Since so many things will be unused post Bradley's baby stage, something like this I definitely wanted usable later on.  Plus, I had a gift card from my bro and SIL for my birthday for MZW that went towards the bag.  Woo!

The same day the bag came the Mamaroo arrived!  It was a GREAT mail day!  

My everyday purse is from 2009 and I literally haven't purchased any purses but MZW since!  They aren't super common around these parts, but anyone that I know who owns one has converted to MZW only.


Now I have never been "brand name" obsessed, but I would say this IS one of my favorite brands, just because of their amazingness!  These bags are BEYOND high quality.  The material is the best - you just wipe off with a damp washcloth and they look brand new!  That seems key for a diaper bag...yikes.  The handles, zippers, etc, are also ridiculously high quality.  My purse that I have used for five years and counting doesn't even have a hint of a fray or anything coming apart.  I know I will use this bag forever - I plan on using it as my purse, too!  I believe in giant purses because a girl can never have too much in her bag.  My SIL has made both my mom and I obsessed and MZW lifers, and we are happy about that!

You probably saw on Instagram that I finally washed all the bottles/pacifiers, etc so those are now ready for the diaper bag!

I started filling her up after asking on Instagram for mommy advice from the pros.  

So far the contents include:

-diaps (duh)

-wipes
-wet bag

-wubba nub and other pacifiers (right now I have TONS of pacifiers in a little Skip Hop bag - don't know what kind he will like!)

-ziploc baggies

-changing pad (came with bag)

-couple toys

-diaper rash cream

-onesies/pants

-small blanket

-hand sanitizer

-hand lotion
-Medi Buddy (mini first aid kit)
-mirror

The bag came with a changing pad that I keep in the back pocket, along with my ziploc baggies.

 (Of course I had to lay it all out on the Nook Lilypad.  Tummy time for my crap).

In the front pockets I have random things for now - Nose Frida, mirror, lip stuff, etc.

Hello items I currently don't use but will be using all day, e'ry day shortly!

For now, she sits on Bradley's dresser waiting to be used.  I just know Bradley will love her, too. :)

I'm sure the contents will evolve like crazy once he is here and am more knowledgeable in what is needed, but any immediate necessities you see missing, moms?
