In a fit of nesting instinct madness, I stopped at the fabric store this afternoon and bought a 4-pack of blue Dritz diaper pins. I have a large collection of diaper pins, some left over from the "sample stash" I put together before getting pregnant with dd, and quite a surprising number that my mother gave me from when I was a baby. However, my favorites are the ones from the fabric store. I only have 4, and they're all pink. I don't know the baby's gender and I think it's silly to color-code babies anyhow, and yet, I had the irresistible urge to buy some blue ones to balance out the pink....
:
I feel self-conscious about the fact that I prefer pinned prefolds. It's the only safe way to let a baby go coverless in a prefold, and I can't afford a stash of fitteds. I feel like explaining to people "you don't have to pin, most cloth diaper-ers don't pin, most have probably never even tried it, I'm just old school." Justifying my pinning preference is just one way of being defensive about parenting, I suppose.

I love a pinned diaper look and pride my self for my pinning skills
Snappi are great for under covers but nothing beats a pinned coverless prefold no getting caught onto furniture and stuff.
