23 Weeks & My Newborn Cloth Diaper Stash

Today I am 23 weeks pregnant! Next Sunday this little baby will have reached the point of viability. Super exciting! Of course I'm hoping that *he* stays put for the rest of the 13 weeks that *he* needs to but I definitely breath a sigh of relief once I reach 24 weeks.

Yes, that's right, I said *HE*. We had our ultrasound on February 6th as scheduled and we were told that this little one is indeed all boy. 


Adam and I were thrilled, of course! We would have been regardless of gender. Miranda was happy although is a little sad she won't have a sister. Elliott knew that he was having a brother from the beginning and was not surprised in the least to be told it's a boy. 

This little guy also has a name already which is virtually UNHEARD of for us to actually have a set name before our baby is born. We're excited and I absolutely *adore* his name and the kids are already very attached to it too which should help me to stick with it and not change my mind.

His name is Bennett Adam

I also wanted to share with you all, while I'm in a sharing/blogging mood, my complete list of newborn diapers. As soon as I have all of them in my possession I will take pictures to show you all. If there is something in particular you'd like to see beforehand, let me know and if I have it I'll snap a pic. I'm pretty darn excited about cloth diapering from the beginning and I even splurged on some brand new purchases because of tax money. I plan on using cloth as soon as we are home from the hospital and only using the free disposables they hand out to you while we are there.

Here is the *complete* newborn list! (I will do a one-size list a bit later on.) I am going to try and resist buying any more from here on out!!!

I have snappis, pins, boingos, diaper liners, wet bags, pail liners, a diaper sprayer and cloth wipes up the ying yang too as accessories.

So in total I have 87 newborn diapers that need covers, 15 newborn covers, and 7 AIO newborn diapers. I know I am waaaaaaay over prepared but I know that the preemie and newborn prefolds won't last long on their own. However, I was not worried about buying them because they have a zillion other uses besides just as a diaper. These include doublers, burp cloths and cleaning rags. They will get plenty of use, I'm sure, and if they don't the super nice thing about cloth diapers is that you can sell them and recoup at least some or all of the money spent on them! Woohoo!!!

Any questions? Feel free to ask!
