What's in my bag - baby edition

Since having a baby I stopped carrying a purse. That us gonna change though because I miss my purses! In the past 11 weeks I've just been shoving everything into the diaper bag. While this is vastly different than my last what's in my bag, one thing is the same. Too many lip products!
Muslin swaddle, used to cover car seat or stroller from sun. Homemade nursing cover from mil and piddle pad. Never nursed in public yet. I'm a wuss and don't know how to do it without a boppy or bed! Diapers. We are still using up the gifted ones! Spare outfit for baby, sun hat and scratch mittens.
Rolled owl thing is a homemade changing pad from my mil. We forgot the one that came with bag at a store :( red pouch came with bag filled with baby things, diaper cream and baby cream. Cortizone for me. I'm so itchy lately!! And extra pacis on holders my mom made the leopard one. My wallet. Leopard pouch with some makeup for me, tissues from Japan! Stress oil and band aids, pen and eyeglasses cloth. The blue thing is scented bags to put soiled diapers or clothes in. Paci wipes. After dropping her only paci on floor of Jo-Ann's I now have 3 backups and wipes!!!! Diaper wipe case, chewy toy. She isn't using it yet. We just got it because she is getting close to toy stage.
Our bag is the Nixon Jonathan Adler for Skip Hop. It was the one Dave picked out and we both loved how it wasn't diaper bag like or overly feminine like so many are.
 
 
So tell me what's in your bag??
 
I have been super MIA lately. I quit my job and we are in the process of moving. We are "homeless" for a month while our new place is being finished and are staying with family. We were surprised they were able to rent our apartment we were a mile from the bomber in the boat. The realtor was suppose to show our apartment literally an hour before they found him but we were all on lockdown and not allowed to leave our home! So scary.

I keep meaning to post but babies man they just rock your world and you forget about things like blogs. I wonder if I should post all those pregnant outfit photos saved in a folder I never got around to posting.

First off. I chopped my hair. I hadn't intended on it. My normally very amazing lady who does exactly what I ask... Apparently left her ears at home that day. It's about 4-5 inches shorter than I asked for. I don't dislike it but its too short to put in a hair tie which is problematic for a mom. This is why I only cut my hair once a year. This was the only time I was away from Wee in 7 weeks. It was 45 minutes and it sucked.  She was literally1/10th a mile away and I was edgy. Full disclosure I  battling severe PPD. I will write a full post about it because I feel like it isn't talked about enough and I didn't know it could happen to me. I got help quick though so I am doing better but the idea of being away from her isn't something I can do yet. Baby steps. Literally. 





I'll be honest most days I don't get dressed. I'm not in a routine yet and we are moving and pjs are comfy and I've had company.... Excuse excuse.

But when Dave is home on weekend I used it as an excuse to take a shower that was longer than a minute and put on actual clothes! I also used my new magic trick. If you put on lipstick and sunglasses it looks like you made an effort and no one notices the unbrushed hair and no makeup!




 

Tiered top and polka for jeans Target. Can you believe I am wearing skinny jeans? My aunt Sam visited and she was rocking a pair and looked so damn cute I had to get a pair.
Sweater NY and Co. It's at least 5 years old.
Dansko Thea sandals
Skip Hop diaper bag
Baby made by us

I'm attempting to post from phone so formatting might be super wacky! I'm currently under the baby :)
