Prepping for baby Schwickerath

Patrick and I have our "nest" pretty much ready. We bought lots of great used furniture and toys, plus our family have showered us with great Christmas gifts for our new arrival. Patrick was wonderful and fixed up our crib so that the drop sides were fixed and we wouldn't have to worry about it as a safety hazard. He also is in the process of building a closet storage system, which will dramatically increase our storage of baby items. We also bought these great cloth diapers which although they cost about $17/diaper, will save us $1200 over the long run. They are pocket diapers and have the best reviews I've seen for cloth diapers. The picture above of the kitchen counter shows all the diapers we bought.
