What Swing do you have/recommend?
What Diaper bag do you have/recommend? Or what would you look for in one?
*These are two things I still need to get for our little man!

we have a swing similar to this
the side to side swing is the only one tyler will use.
i have a vera bradley diaper bag. I needed a huge one b/c i am an over packer. You're gonna get a lot of different opinions on diaper bags

Any swing tht can plug in! That is a must if you end up with one that loves to swing. We have the Graco Sweetpeace and love it. Brady went in it until he was 15 months old! Now Hannah has taken it over.
I like diaper bags with lots of pockets inside. Right now we're using a Vera Bradley bag that isn't technically a diaper bag.

This is what we have and for a swing, this is a great one: Amazon.com: Bright Starts Ingenuity Cradle and Sway Swing - Bella Vista: Baby
It says it conserves batteries to last for 1 year, but we've had to change them once in 5 months and personally, i don't think that is bad. It's super quiet and we'll keep it for the next one.
As far as a diaper bag, I'm still trying to find one that i like.

I was going to suggest a swing that plugs in as well. We would have burned through a fortune worth of batteries if we didn't have the plug in.
I love my Nestle free diaper bag that's like a bike carrier bag. I use that more than any of my other bags. I got a couple free and bought a few. I either use the nestle one or just a big hippy type wool purse.

I have a swing similar to the pic Kate showed. It's been a great swing, but we did burn through the batteries. I would definately suggest one that plugs in. As for a diaper bag, I'm an over packer too and would like to have a bigger one. Mine is a gender neutral one so that DH doesn't feel like a goofball carrying it around, lol. My SIL had a backpack style that seemed pretty handy and I'm actually looking for one like that for the summer. Before you decide on one just look at the reviews because a few that I almost got had really bad reviews where the shoulder straps and things were coming apart. Good luck!

For my diaper bag I have an eddie bauer one and I really like it.

We got the fisher price my little lamb swing - loved it. I got an adapter for it so I could plug it in instead of go through batteries (got it on Ebay).
I have a Ju Ju Be PackaBe diaper bag - I really love it. I'm planning on getting the BFF before we have another baby - it's a lot bigger and will be better for 2 kids.

I had a small boppy swing for Eli which was great because we could easily move it from room to room and it was a space saver. Problem was it wouldn't move after 2 1/2 months due to his weight. With this baby we are looking into another swing that plugs in and has a higher weight limit. As for diaper bags, I also like a bag that has departments/pockets that way it is neater and easier to find things. Sounds like you are doing awesome if all you have left to get is a diaper bag and swing!

We don't have a swing yet. It's on the list of things to get soon.
I love the Nestle diaper bag as well. It was free, and it works great - what more can you ask for?

I also recommend a swing that plugs in. One with a higher weight limit is good too.
I love my diaper bag. It's similar to the one April has but in the messenger style. Holds a ton of stuff! I got a plain brown one that DH will use too.
