he gave in.

I promise I haven't even asked or begged :).

I found these super-duper cool diaper bags online while I was still pregnant with V. I showed them to Dru but we never talked about them after that conversation. They're kind of expensive yet just sooo functional. And I do think when you have babies that money spent on function is worth every penny! I didn't want anything to diaper bagish looking and never found anything else I liked. I ended up just using my LL Bean tote or a backpack because that's what we had. Then we traveled to Colorado and Dru got lots of time up close and personal with the backpack...and all the baby necessities that go along (yeah, a few bottles spilled...so what?).

A couple days after we arrived home and Dru was (supposedly) at work, he calls me, and he says, "You can't use a backpack for the baby anymore. I'm at such and such baby store. Go online and pick out the Ju Ju Be bag you want." More than that he bought it for me it blessed me that he even remembered!

Side note: we've been doing the cash system lately. You know, at the beginning of each month we pull out the cash we've budgeted for every category (except gas, online bill paying etc.) and use only that. Before, we would plan on spending the same amount we do now but gosh, you know, when you use plastic it just feels more like there's always money there for ya :). Instead of over spending each month we've ended up with a little extra thanks to sticking rigidly to only spending the cash we have. Kind of fun to be surprised with that little extra for stuff like this that we would never have just been able to run out and purchase at the drop of a hat.

I'm loving the new bag. It's helped make everything easier and more organized. It's not a must-have, just a wonderful luxury!
