drying time/ are fitteds really worth it for a newborn?

Yeah, if you have some of each already, I'd wait until baby arrives and you get a sense for what you're using more of, and then make your order.
Personally I can't stand fitteds (too bulky, don't save me that much time, take forever to dry) but I know some people love them. Also, I've never had trouble containing newborn BF poop in a prefold/wrap combo, and we don't even use pins or Snappis.

Thanks ladies.

What kind of covers do you use?
I will wait until baby is here to REALLY expand the stash, but as it is I barely have enough diapers to get through one day, so I need to get a few more of one kind or another to have on hand.

We do this too! It is a great time saver.
I want to add that I also LOVE the IV bumpy covers! They are up there with my Ricky wraps, WWB, and Bummis.
As far as poop goes...I just hate rinsing poops out of my prefolds, IME it is easier to rinse it out of the fitteds. They do cost more and tend to be bulky, but they are nice to have around. That said I really love my pockets and I am starting to get addicted to AI2s.

I agree with this!
I love fitteds. They are great. Very great. Especially when your lil one gets wiggly and you need something fast (if you do those fancy PF folds that is). My DD is a toddler, but still runs around coverless in a fitted a lot. That being said, a big bonus of prefolds is that you can use them for stuffers/doublers later on.
I have only liked 1 cover that I've gotten, and that was the one I made myself from diaperkits.com. It doesnt look perfect, but it covers the whole fitted/contains the PF better than the others I used.

For those of you who are sold on fitteds for newborns, do you change the diaper with every pee? Seems like you would go through a lot of fitteds just for small pees.
