Hold Me Tight bu Sue Johnson.  Best marriage book ever.  It's not about learning how to communicate, though that helps.  It is about developing a secure attachment bond in your marriage.  Totally works wonders.

Most OS diapers don't fit a NB.  They start fitting around 11-12 lbs, 6-8 weeks.  Rumparooz fit first, then FB, then BG.

Infant prefolds and Size 1 Thirsties Duo Wraps were my favorite cheap diapers with my newest baby.  He was 8.5 lbs and they fit until about 4 months.

The inserts are the organic cotton ones, then, if they say to wash them that much.   I do wash, wash, dry, wash, wash, dry.
