Update on~Bags!

UPDATE: I found my perfect bag! I was browsing Dillards one day with mom, and came across a Fossil utitlity tote. At the time, I thought it was the wrong size, but after much searching in several stores and online, I came back to it. Billy said he knew I loved it when I was showing it to him for the first time, and I looked like a kid in a candy store, face beaming and all.
Its's waterproofed inside, with just the right amount of pockets and zippers...plus a great big area on the outside for changing pad, diapers, nursing cover, etc. I bought a second smaller toiletry bag that fits comfortably inside, that I'm going to use for Will when we drop him off at the nursery, or he goes out on his own with family. It's perfect! Holds his sippy cup, snacks, bibs, diapers, wipes, etc. Just what we needed, and I can keep my brain organized with their things separated for times when she's with me, and he's out having fun with someone else. LOVE IT.

My goodness, who would have thought finding a good diaper bag would be so hard! I'm less than 7 weeks out from being an official parent of 2, and I really wanted to get a bigger, better bag to carry my kiddos things in.
I guess I'm pickier than I originally thought. It's got to be big, but not heavy; I want it to have a washable/waterproof liner, but don't like the "laminated look"; I like the outside pockets, but don't want it to look like a gardeners tote :)  I would love for it to be stylish, but not just a pocket-less bag that becomes a big black hole....My, oh my, this is hard!
I've SEARCHED THE ENTIRE WEB and have yet to find "the one" where I hear angels singing their ahhhs in the background :0 Okay, so perhaps I'm overthinking it.

So far, this is the one I'm leaning towards... http://www.etsy.com/listing/61573709/morning-glory-emma-large-hot-mama?ref=mt
