I bought my diapers!!!

Okay - so the diaper swap was INSANE! We had to queue up for about 45 minutes just to check out! I wandered for about 20 minutes around the used table before getting all my new stuff into the basket. I don't think I will EVER build up my stash again while there are 40 other people in the store. It was too hard to navigate, especially with this huge belly of mine!!!

I will definitely need to get more, but I think I've got a good starting stash, especially for what they cost!
I ended up with:

12 Indian prefolds (new)

4 Thirsties XS covers (new)

2 Kissaluv contours (new)

4 Kissaluv 0 fitteds (2 new, 2 used)

2 Kissaluv 1 fitteds (used)

2 BG 3.0 AIO XS




Thirsties XS covers Kissaluvs contours


Kissaluvs fitteds Bumgenius AIO XS

I also bought two wetbags (Planetwise and Fuzzibunz), a Bebe Au Lait nursing cover and a Moby Wrap!

I can't wait to use all this stuff!
I still need to do massive research on how I want to wash all these diapers, but at least I have a starting stash!

Initial Wishlist

After way too much research, I had to come up with an initial wishlist for my diapers.
Our local brick and mortar store is having a diaper swap next Saturday and I really want to go and try to get a couple used diapers to save on money. I've decided to go ahead and start with CDs from the get-go, so I'm going to have to get a newborn stash to start out with since most small sizes don't work until the baby is 10 pounds or so. (Hopefully mine doesn't actually weigh 10 lb. at birth - I'm so scared it will!!!)

4 Thirsties XS covers
2 Kissaluvs Size 0 fitteds
2 Kissaluvs NB/S contours

I am in love...

I finally drove out to our local store, and I completely fell in love with it!
www.happybottomus.com

It was so nice to finally see and feel in person what I have been reading about online for 6+ months. I was so completely overwhelmed though, even after looking at all the options that I had to ask the guy working there for help. I was a little skeptical asking a guy for help (didn't think he'd be super helpful) and he was the most helpful person ever!!!
He took his time going through each type of diaper, what the pros and cons are, and how they work! I had such a calmer feeling coming out of there, having a much better idea of what all this cloth diapering is going to entail. I am still completely overwhelmed and need to do a ton more research --- but I am so many steps closer to being where I need to be!!!

In addition, I think this place has won me over as a customer for life! I would gladly pay a little more to shop from them than from big online retailers (that and I like to support local businesses anyway).

Good job, Happybottomus!!!
