Debbie dear, you do not need that Bowman when you just bought the violet Maldives....the Maldives is perfect for taking to the hospital with you. It's easy to access your things inside, it's light weight and stands up to anything you can throw at it. The Bowman is pretty but I think you'd find it doesn't have enough room for your needs once the baby arrives. The Bowman looks like it's awkward to get into with that short strap on top. It has no cross body strap, just shoulder and hand carry straps.....that's not going to work once you're carrying a baby.
