In order of purchase:

Timbuk 2 Medium Messenger (El Ocho) -- navy/pink/navy cordura (purchased as a gym bag pre-baby, but will likely use as a larger day bag)

Lands End Updated Do-It-All -- returned b/c no shoulder strap

LE Updated Little Tripper -- black/olive (previous day bag prior to getting the Metro Mini)

LE Short Tote -- black (too small, but would use it for nice outings b/c looks more like a purse)

Similac US bag - black (hospital freebie, but I bought it off ebay b/c they aren't available here)

Baglady Original (like an Ella bag, only made in Canada) -- blue/red/green/yellow/white cabana stripe

Skip Hop -- red (LOVE this bag, but will use it more in winter)

Timbuk 2 Metro Mini -- pink ballistic (current summer day bag)

LE Deluxe Backpack -- blue (for airline travel and long road trips)

Similac Canadian bag -- turquoise blue (mail in freebie, kept in the car)

WAITING FOR: Timbuk 2 Small Messenger (via coop, still undecided on color) and Fleurville Mothership (Indigo denim).

Lusting for: a Kecci???? Never thought of myself as a print person, but then again, never thought I'd get a Mothership, LOL!!!! You all are a bad influence on me!!! :)

WOW, Chris! You have some great bags on their way! I'm so envious...:)

What did you think of the Alpha 7 in Fiesta Stripe??? That is currently the one I am drooling over. TIA!!!

[lmariana]

I really love those colors! It's a great fall bag, but I bought it in early spring, and wanted a more summery bag. :) It's so pretty, very nice colors.

Thanks, Mariana! I will definitely keep that in mind!

[lmariana]

I love your collection! Go Chris! I'd love to see some pictures of the graphic Timbuk2's and your new Petunia Picklebottoms!

Has anyone told you about the Baby Bags Swap group? It's a good place to sell bags that dont' work out for you or get a good deal on bags you want! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/babybags Very fun!

Wow is right - 10 bags on the way!!! Did you get 2 of everthing to just enjoy different colors for different seasons? Do you think you really get to use them all? I really want a WW and a Petunia Picklebottom in Cucumber roll but I'm nervous to buy it and then have things in my closet collecting dust. I would be interested to hear how you will be using all of these so I can learn too!

Lands' End Do-It-All ("old style" 2002 model) in sapphaire blue - have used this since DS was born and I think I'm finally ready to retire it! It's been a great bag for us but finally I'm feeling like it is too big!

Lands' End Little tripper ("old style") in sapphaire blue - bought before DS was born and only have started using it as my everyday bag in the last couple of months

Lands' End large canvas tote in pink stripe (NQP) - just bought this. I really like the colors and organization, but it is a LARGE bag and I am trying to get away from a large bag! Still wavering on whether to keep this for the future (it was only $14.50!) or return it since DH isn't too happy about all my recent baby gear purchases.

Skip Hop Duo in red - just bought this from the BBB swap and I really like it. Haven't used it yet but I think it will be a great travel bag, which is why I bought it. Definitely medium sized which is what I wanted. I will probably start using this on longer outings for when the LT is too small.

2 Enfamil bags - one freebie from hospital and one I actually bought off ebay. Never used the bags but I did use the bottle coolers from both (first one wore out after a year which is why I bought the second).
