Please rate my overstash & accessories

Ok, I am pretty sure (very sure) I overbought, but I wanted to be safe (anyways I can always sell some off if I need to - did I mention i'm anal retentive and like to be prepared for anything)  I was originally going to use all prefolds, then I thought I should get a few aplix pockets for hubby, and I became hooked on the pockets.  I also wanted to have enough to wash every 3rd day if something came up and I couldn't wash every other day.  I'm probably going to delegate 1 dozen of each sized prefolds to the "house & garage" since i have so many.   I've been building this stash for 8 months.

Newborn:

36 Indian Preemie prefolds (some are going to be used as burp cloths) I went with the preemies because I wasn't paying attention when I ordered and got them by accident-I figure they are good until 10lbs and my pockets should start fitting then
3 Prowrap nb covers
1 Bummis Superbright cover
12 Lil Joey's rumparooz
1 Tots Bots
1 Happy Heinies Pocket Mini
1 Thirsties xsmall AIO
1 Prowrap AIO NB

Infant/Toddler:

36 Indian Prefolds Infant sized
36 Indian Prefolds Premium sized - going to use some as a changing pads for newborn
6 fitted little green bear small (sew yourself from wazoodle.com-dont recommend for the beginning sewer, the elastic is hard to deal with, but if you have any sewing ability, it is a good buy and they seem like they will be real absorbent with the zorb fabric)
1 Imse Vimse Cover Sm
2 prowrap Covers sm
1 Kissaluvs Wool cover sm
3 Flips
7 Econobum covers
6 Rumparooz (1/2 aplix 1/2 snaps)
2 Fuzzy Buns
1 Happy Heinys
13 Kawaii - bought them because the fabric was just too cute!
12 bum Genius (1/2 aplix, 1/2 snaps)
3 Alva Baby - had to have some cow patterned diapers

Accessories:

62 cloth wipes over 1/2 are homemade precut blanks from Wazoodle.com -reasonable cost - 2 layer on most of them
2 sets of diaper pins
8 snappies (snappies should color coordinate with her outfits right )
1 Diaper Sprayer
2 xlarge wet bags for the pail
3 small/medium sized wet bags - should hold 3-4 diapers
1 tube grandma El's
2 containers CJ BUTTer monkey farts and lavender
1 container Bum Genius Odor remover
2 bottles bum genius bottom cleaner
1 bottle diaper lotion potion
Big container of Charlies Soap (use it on our laundry)
6 boxes Tiny Bubbles cloth diaper detergent (Costco-what can I say)
Calgon because I have hard water
 

So, we know I overbought, but is there anything you can think of that I missed?

I am a newbie, too, but I feel like an underweight!! I would think you should be good to go!

After much research, I have decided to stock my stash with 28 Kawaii pockets (some minky, some snap, some H&L). I am planning to add more later when we figure out what we like!

That is pretty much all I have so far. I think we are going to use sposies for a few weeks at the begining to get the hang of having a baby before I take on the CDing. My prediction is for a larger baby, so I hope to be fine with the one-size dipes within a month. If she is born a little smaller, we will probably buy some prefolds and covers.

You look good to go!  Just a heads up your OS may not fit until closer to 12 lbs but you should be fine filling in with the infant prefolds until then.

Wow! That's pretty close to the stash I am building for my TWINS! You are sooo ready though and I'm jealous! Have you thought about ordering some various inserts for your pockets or to sneak in between pf's? For instance, if you have a heavy wetter you might like playing around with some various hemp or other inserts and they add even more customization options without spending much. Just a thought.

I knew I forgot to type something on the list.  I have 6 hemp doublers.  3 small and three large.
