Anyway, the fact that Kaidyn's solid poo (tmi, I know.) gets on the covers made me realize that with a newborn, I would be washing covers EVERY change. NO THANK YOU. So, I still have a dozen infant prefolds that I will be using, but I've come to the conclusion that I really need something with elastic in the legs (and preferably in the back) to hold in explosive newborn poop.
The good news is, that means me using wool for those first months won't be so silly. The bad news is...fitteds aren't cheap. And I still want to get her some Flip covers since I love them so and since she has all of these cute outfits that she couldn't wear with wool. I have a $200 budget, though I might be able to get some more money out of Scott (lol) and I'm still hoping for some possible presents in the form of more diapers.
Now, I have some fabric I could use to make some, but it wouldn't work with just this fabric. And I really want some cute prints. So, I think I might order some Graham Bear Wear dipes along with some cotton velour to make some myself. Then I get color AND pretty prints for a bit less...though not much, honestly. However, these are sized and only good for small babies, which annoys me...I really would prefer a one size diaper with the elastic. Which brings me to another option: Contours. One size fitteds tend to be pricey (I think the cheapest I've seen are BuggaBuggaBoutique's and even those are $12 and are more of a contour style in that they have no closures). Kissaluvs has a new contour style that might work, but theres no elastic in the back. These would be insanely easy to make though...and I could make them really thin. The con is that it'd probably be close to as much as the sized fitteds to make and I wouldn't be able to resell them for much. Oh and it'd take me quite a bit of sewing to make a full stash.
Another thing is that I want some pockets. I don't need them, but I really want them for lazy days and night changes. I know I like BGs but I'd definitely convert them to snaps, voiding any warranty. I like the look of Rumparoo's but they are spendy-and don't have the best reviews, so I don't think I'll go with those. Proraps makes cheap all in ones, but they take forever to dry and are boring. I did however find a site with Haute Pockets on clearance for cheap, so I might get some of those. I don't know, I can't make up my mind!
And I'm still eyeing a LOT of wool. I want some mosaic moon birthday girl, I want a couple of colorways from DBK's, but both aren't cheap. At all. But both also have really nice resale value...hmmm...right now though, I think I'll be ordering a bunch of Purewool since its cheap and soft, definitely getting some black and pink for some skull longies (shhh, Scott doesn't know yet, its a surprise :D), and probably some other solids. I have a thing for stripes right now. Oh and of course-I WILL be making some brown longies, since everything I like seems to have brown in it.
