Help me add to my OS stash

For my OS stash I have

13 Covers

-7 Best Bottoms

-4 Assuntas

-1 Blueberry

-1 little Butt

24 Size One Prefolds

24 Size Two Prefolds

14 AIOS

-6 Freetimes

-4 Grovia

-3 Little Butts

-1 I can't remember the brand

5 Kawaii GNGW

2 Kawaii Pockets (probably going to sell...someone gave them to me...loath pockets that aren't for nighttime use) 

So I just sold my NB AIOs.  I have 85 bucks to spend and was thinking of spending it on Medium Hemp Best Bottom Insets.  That would give me 12 of those with shipping. 

When I sell my nb workhorses I was thinking of buying as many workhorses in the next size as I could for the money I get.  I'm thinking I'll get 80 bucks so I can probably get 5 or 6 workhorses. 

When I sell my nb covers (I have 13, but really 10 that will sell)  I'm thinking I can get like 30 or 40 bucks for those....I'm thinking maybe a Little Butt Custom. 

So that is sort my plan of reinvesting, unless you guys can intrigue me with what you'd get.  All told is like is 150-200 bucks to play with.  Thoughts considering that I already have a lot and don't really need anything new when you consider that I already have like 40 ish changes.  I want to make cloth as easy and fun as I can.

I love BestBottom Inserts, it makes them as easy as an AIO to put on.  I especially  love the Hemp, so trim!
Just thought I'd let you know that there is very little size difference between the Medium & Large Hemp inserts (I have no problem using the Large Hemp on the 2nd smallest rise setting, on the other hand there's no way I'd try to use the Large MF), so you might just want to go ahead and buy the Large for a little more absorbancy.

Hmmm well let me ask you then, I'm skipping the small size and going right to the medium.  So would you still skip to the large knowing this will be going on an 11lb baby?  I'd love to just get only larges ever, but I want to be able to use them soon.  Right now she is only a month old.  I'm thinking I'd like to start when she is like 10 weeks.

Wait am I seeing your picture correctly?  Is the Large hemp the same size as the medium stay dry?  Is that what you're showing me?  Because if that is the case then I will just get larges.

The 3 Stay-Dry MF inserts are stacked on the left and the 3 Hemp are stacked on the right in the picture I previous posted.  There is no more than about 1/2 an inch difference in length between the Medium & Large Hemp and the Medium MF is in between them in length.  The MF inserts are much thicker and the Hemp inserts are a little wider than the MF inserts. 

If you have the rise snaps on the smallest setting anything but the small inserts is going to have to bunch up to try to get it to fit inside the shell (which isn't too awlful to do with the thinner hemp, but really doesn't work well with the MF inserts).  We used the smallest rise setting and small inserts until close to 3 months.  If you start using the BestBottoms already on the 2nd smallest rise you should be fine skipping ahead to Large Hemp inserts.  (After starting out with some smalls we ordered 1 each of the med&large...and then opted to only order more Hemp in the Large rather than Medium because there was very little difference in them).

Here's all of them in a row:

Oh okay, gotcha.  Hmmmmm.  I think what I need to do it buy one of each and play with them.  I have time because she is still wearing NB workhorses and prefolds.  She doesn't fit into any one size stuff yet.  Her Best Bottoms don't even close to fit.  I was thinking ahead to like 10 weeks/three months.
