you could alway trifold and put in covers to get you by.
Needing PreFolds

Well, since you say it is not an emergency, I want to suggest Granitsmith at Ebay. Here is Teresa's store (which is empty at the moment):
http://stores.ebay.com/Granitesmiths-Diaper-Store
Problem is that Teresa sadly passed away a couple days ago.

I did recieve an email that stated they would be selling again very soon. They just need a little time to sort things out.
The prefolds that I have gotten from Granitsmith have been the softest prefolds I have ever put on my baby's booty.

I would buy the "BEST" Indian Prefolds. They are sold by the dozen and run an average of $2 each with the shipping for the premium size.
Sorry about your hubby leaving. I salute you dear military families that sacrifice so much!!

Actually, the reason there is nothing in that store is because Teresa (the owner) died recently. There's another thread about it on this board.
Try www.diaperbabies.com -- she's great to work with, has cheap shipping, and the prefolds are good quality.

Kontessa, goodbyes are hard. I know. I'm an air force wife. We don't deploy as much as you do but do nearly as many TDY's and those are hard too. I would trifold your prefolds and lay them in the cover for now until your husband comes home or the money situation gets better. That will make them last a little longer. Washcloths are great for laying in a cover as a diaper if you are in a pinch.
As an aside, when you are feeling a little bitter that your hubby is away AGAIN, it might be nice for your sweet daughter to poop on one of hubby's work shirts for under his BDU's.

Sorry. I am probably one of the biggest supporters of our troops and the great job they do but sometimes you just have to laugh at the irony of a baby pooping on air force(or army as the case may be) property! My Sara has pooped on dh's shirts before and it just cracks me up. I'm a nerd!
You don't need a serger to sew the prefolds. Even a novice sewer can do prefolds with a cheap sewing machine by using the zig zag stitch. t-shirt material is snappi-able and VERY absorbent. Check out the diaper making board here at MDC. Those ladies are amazing!
Anyway start peeking around to see who has the best prices. Look for flat rate shipping or free shipping because prefolds are so dang heavy. And getting them won't be the initial big investment because you already have snappi's or pins and covers and wipes. You just need the prefolds.
Honestly I think it's so sad that your husband can die for his country but ya'll have to budget well to fit diapers into the finances. I know it's a luxury to be financially stable these days and you sound like you only have one income but I personally think it's a sad, sad state of affairs. Just a gripe from one military wife to another. Here's hoping your love comes home soon, safe and sound. At least you can enjoy window shopping right now!
