Feeling pretty good about it, too. It is a nice mix of fitteds and wool and pockets with some random fun stuff thrown in. I have a while before I use them, but they are all ready for action!
Anyone else playing with their newborn stash? Whatcha got going?
I am essentially finished with my stash, pending the ordering and receipt of a Tiny Tush co-op order. I'm pretty much set until this kid is a toddler.
Mainly I've got prefolds with a few Kushie AIO's thrown in, in a variety of sizes. I've got a variety of covers, too -- ProRaps, Kushie wraps, and the Bummis Whisper Wraps. And 2-3 wool soakers in NB and SM and MD -- some stacinators, some Tiny Tush, and two totally cute handknit.
Plus an exciting assortment of diaper pins, snappis, liners, doublers, wipes, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Oh, and a toilet sprayer jobby.
The scary thing? I have a *spreadsheet* to organize all my diapers and accessories.
There is a seller on ebay who has very cute, very reasonable wool soakers. I was surprised to get one (free shipping!) with a bid of $11 or something.
Okay, I am raving about diapers. It seriously MUST be time to go to bed so that I can get up again in 4 hours...
I did mostly AIOs or pocket dipes. Wool was too intimidating for me, at least for the beginning... thought I regret not bidding on a cute little gnome soaker longies that went for next to nothing!
I have
1 Haute Pocket one-size
a variety of newborn and small SAHM creations
1 DryBees
Prefolds and plain white waterproof wrap covers (might try dyeing one...)
A few pull-on vinyl covers
7 Wonderoos Magic Alls in Very Small
and an assortment of FuzziBuns (used)
Snappis, but no diaper pins yet
Variety of inserts- hemp, fleece, etc
Cloth wipes- TONS!- terry washcloths and SAHM flannel wipes
I got a variety of things based on reviews here and on diaperpin.com
I want some more one-sizes for later, but I'm going to wait and see what I like of these before ordering those.
We don't know the sex, so I have: GN prints, yellows, oranges, blues, greens, reds, cream, off-white, teals, etc. and one lone pink (just in case!) They look so cute lined up under my changing table! With Pixie I used sposies and this is sooooo different from my experience with her, where everyone kept giving me bag after bag of dipes and wipes and I had a huge pile of ugly bags of various brand dipes piled up in the corner.... most of them gave her diaper rash and I ended up going out and buying the superduper Aloe-whatever Pampers that cost a fortune. Ugh! Not this time!!
CRAP- I found cheap cheap cheap diapers yesterday and I can't find the link anymore... not that we all need more encouragement to spend money on diapers! but they may as well be cheap... I will track down the site and post it here.
My diaper stash is pretty pathetic- I have some cute wonderoos but I want some AIO print floral designs and stuff. Gotta do some WAHM research...
ETA: Ta-DAHHHH! The link:
I am close to finishing my stash. I have been way obsessed with the diapering boards for the last 2 weeks... it is kind of embarassing to admit how much time I've spent on this.
So far I have:
8 XS Fuzzi Bunz
2 XS Happy Heiny's
1 NB Itty Bitty Buns fitted
4 NB SugarPlumBaby fitteds
2 XS Patchwork Pixie fitteds
2 NB Mutts
4 NB FLAMs
1 S Firefly
4 infant prefolds and a snappi
2 NB and 1 S BSWW
1 S merino wool wrap
1 S soaker knit by me
12 S Fuzzi Bunz
2 S Happy Hempy's
1 pair of adorable longies knit by a friend
So I think if I can get some preemie prefolds, more infant prefolds, more NB and S covers, some S Happy Heiny's, and some more Mutts and Fireflies... and finish knitting some longies... then I will be set for maybe the first 3 months or so!

I recently sold off some gorgeous nb dipes <sniff, sniff> b/c they were my girly ones I had bought just in case <sniff, sniff>
I have been buying way too much, but at least that's what dh says. I think with twins I *have* to have a lot
I am doing mostly fitteds and wool. One of my IRL friends who's also a WAHM is knitting up some yummy longies for me with yarn I hahd gotten from Mosaic Moon www.mosaicmoon.com and Wooly Wonders by Nada www.woolywondersbynada.com. I've got a few FCB0, FLAMS, Pattynaps, Peenut Pants, Bottombumpers (I am forgetting some of the others I have). My Elbee custom slot finally came up, so I will have a bunch of those in a few weeks. Some preemie and infant prefolds. Its a mish-mosh of brands - but I love them all! I would love to have a simple stash, but don't think I could ever do it. I love shopping WAHMS and getting a few here and there.
I'm a constant buyer/seller always in search of something different. I will not admit publicly how many diapers I have. Or how many dressers I have full of dipes right now just in nb and smalls (granted, alot were leftovers from DS and spending sprees that ended in mc's that I just couldnt part with til they got used by at least one kid...)
But then I b*tch that this kid will have no clothes.
: I really should refocus my energies elsewhere...
I just started! I just got in just 3 Kissaluvs sz 1 and what I really need is some sz 0 (and lots of others). If anyone here has some to sell or trade for something on my trade list, I would love to hear from you. PM me!

hmm, I've never seen those before (or the site, for that matter.) They only seem about a $1 cheaper, but, it does add up when you consider you will probably have more than a dozen (I do...love, love kl 0's.)

That particular diaper has been around at least two years, not sure how long before that. It's one of Happy Heiny's collection: http://happyheinys.com/heiny_huggers.php
I just wish I knew if it fit as well as the Kissaluvs supposedly do in the newborns!
I posted about the Kissaluv 0s and the Happy Heiny sherpa diaps and got answers right away that the HH are better! Trimmer, dries quicker, etc.
I think I may just grab a whole bunch of those since my friend on http://www.balterbaby.com can sell HH to me (so that supports her) plus a few gals offered their used HHs to me.
