So some of you have been asking after news of the "sexy sexy baby bag" that I was looking to buy. Well I did and I couldn't be happier! It is made by a small San Francisco company called Rickshaw Bagworks. They primarily make messenger bags for cyclists and the baby bag is a modification of one of those. The bulk of the bag is 100% recycled from post-consumer plastic bottles. It is incredibly well made, solid and hard-wearing in all the right places.
The main bag is their standard messenger bag, so it has pockets for gadgets, notebooks etc. However instead of the laptop insert it has a couple of 'baby specific' inserts - A super soft change pad, a two pocket square insert that fits nappies in one side and a couple of clothes changes in the other. On the side of the bag you can see the attachable gadget pocket for phones and such. Not shown are the insert for insulating food/drink, the handy stroller straps and the drink holder that clips to the other side of the bag. The strap is super comfy and really easy to adjust.
At the moment it is packed for the hospital (along with our bag and a list of things to grab as we leave, like pillows and phones..)
I think I have all the bases covered... A couple of different outfits of various sizes and warmth levels (got to love the crabby striped one!), socks, mittens, blankets, hats, nappies, wipes and who knows what else! My Girl Guide 'Be Prepared' training may have kicked in a little here...I'll be sure to keep you posted on when we actually need to use the bag!

Wow, now we understand. Guess you both are a little more excited, now that things are packed. Hope your loved one has a restful weekend to gather strength and relax.
My grand-mothering instincts are getting very excited too, Grandad in the back ground, wants to know and see all. Sends his love. Said if your not well, don't have American Whiskey with an 'e' get the good stuff, (Irish) Whisky!

Get as much sleep now as you cah... Fran had Bridie 6 weeks ago, and my gorgeous little niece doesn't get the concept of sleeping at night!! Hope tuesday is a little more generous with his sleeping times. Thinking of you both and wishing you all the best. Looking forward to hearing about it all as events unfold. Good luck xoxoxo
