My must haves for being a new mommy!

As I embark on my second trimester I feel the excitement growing and my shopping monster is just itching to get out. There a few items on my wish list (and already bought list...OOPS! haha) that I thought that I would share with you.

The first is my new diaper bag which I just ordered off Zulily.  For those moms and moms to be out there who haven't checked out this site...do it! It basically offers you different sample sales everyday for you and the kiddos.  Much to my excitement today they were offering Timi and Leslie diaper bags.  Since seeing this bag in one of my pregnancy mags I have been dreaming about it. It is cute, functional, stylish, and is lacking all things that make it look like a diaper bag to an outsider. The result? Beauty and functionality without Winnie the Pooh.  What do I mean by that? I'm talking about those diaper bags with cartoon characters and such on them. It's not for the baby to carry, its for YOU to carry so why does it have to look like a baby blanket? Okay, so I'll have to get a separate diaper bag or backpack for dad to carry as he won't be caught dead with this one but I am so okay with that.
Isn't it so cute?

Second on my list of must haves is the Ergo Baby.  After reading reviews and researching baby carriers that would work for both my hubby and me I have decided that the Ergo Baby is for us. It may not have that cute factor but it is functional and it comes with a newborn insert for when babe is still very tiny. This is next on my "to purchase" list.

Third is Mustela stretch mark cream.  I have been using this every morning and night to fend off stretch marks and it is so nice and it smells great.  I hope that it does the trick.  The downside is that no one really carries it in Canada so you either have to order it from Sephora (where tube #2 is coming from) or buy it on a trip down to the States (where tube #1 came from).  Either way, I have heard this stuff is THE BEST and blows any other cream out of the water. Lets hope thats true.

So far those are all the things I want or couldn't live without out. I know that there will be lots more as my pregnancy progresses!!
