I feel like the CD board gets this a lot, but I am really curious what other January mamas are doing. I'd love to see what you've got planned for newborn, and after the newborn stage!
The newborn stash scares me b/c I have no idea how big (or small) my baby will be so I'm afraid of getting something that my baby won't even be able to fit in. At first I figured I'd just go with prefolds and covers so I definitely have enough prefolds/prefitteds and covers for the newborn stage, but knew I wanted something simpler for DH and my mom so on BF I purchased a few newborn diapers...6 BG xs AIOs and 6 Blissful Booty AIOs ($5 factory seconds!) As far as my stash after the newborn stage, I've decided to use mostly AIOs with a few pockets for night time (that's the plan at least) so I have:
11 BGEs
2 small swaddlebees 2.0
3 medium swaddlebees 2.0
5 grovia AIO
5 babyland pockets
5 sunbaby pockets
various fitteds and covers
I would post a picture, but they are not really organized right now b/c I still have some waiting to be prepped.

And Elias Parker, Born 3.5 weeks early 12/20/2011
FINALLY!!! After 7 years of infertility!
We are starting out with prefolds and covers since I have heard that pockets do not always fit from the get go. So for now I have 36 Osocozy unbleached size 1 and some Thirsties x-small covers. I figured this would be the most economical start, plus, we can always use the prefolds for other things or for doublers when baby outgrows them. And the Thirsties are so cheap so I am not worried about that.
After we are out of the prefolds (they say 15 pounds is the max) then I am pretty sure we will be using one-size Fuzzibunz. We are team green so I wanted to wait to buy any so that I can get some cute colors . I have a couple of BG one-size that I got as gifts and I am sure I will love those too. I was just really drawn to the adjustable elastic in the leg gussets with FB and I have heard great things about them from friends, YouTube reviews, and a CD class I took a few months ago.
After that, who knows? I can totally understand how this is going to become an addiction!

I swear, when I called DH today to tell him I found the GMD fitteds and I bought them, he told me I was addicted. I, of course, said they were always on my list and she "needed" them, and he made fun of me. Heheh. It's totally an addiction!
We don't have a newborn stash. We plan on using disposables until she is big enough to fit into her OS. (the doctor says she's already about 7 pounds and she still has over 3 weeks of growing left to do, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long.) After that we have 24 OS Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers. I got most of those as gifts, so hopefully they work. I've heard great things about them and like pp said, I love the adjustable legs and waist elastic.
This is what I'm planning on for the NB -> full transition into OS diapers:
17 NB GMD Workhorse Fitted
1 doz. GMD NB prefolds
2 doz. GMD small prefolds
6 GMD Workhorse fitted
2 MonkeyDoodlez NB AIO
2 BG x-small AIO
1 B4 NB minky fitted
2 FB x-small AIO
5 BG 3.0 size small
2 Thirsties Duo Covers Size 1
4 Thirsties Covers Size X-Small
1 Bummis SuperBrite Cover Size NB
1 Bummis SuperBrite Cover Size Small
1 Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Size NB
1 Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Size Small
1 Disanna Wool Cover size NB
Married 08.06 Started TTC 05.08 Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH DH: perfect 1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p 2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
I have to go through my stash but I know I have 30 BumGenius AIOs and 20-30 assorted other diapers. I bought the BGs and 20 other diapers on CL for $300 and picked up 8 or so misc diapers at a consignment sale.
In the assorted diapers I know I have a few NB size but we're going to wait until LO is past the mecionum stage before using the CD. My dr thinks LO will be on the big side so I'm hoping the AIOs fit shortly after birth.
JoAnn and another local sewing store now carry CD supplies and I just might be one of those moms who starts sewing her own diapers or at least diaper covers. I can totally see how CDing can become an obsession.

Got a gDiapers newborn pack coming in which will include 12 tinies and 6 smalls. Also have 6 small Charlie Bananas, a one size fuzzibun and 3 one size Kawaiis. I'm looking to buy some more one sizers for when he outgrows newborn stuff, maybe 12, but I'll wait and see which kind I like so far. I also don't want to overdo it because depending on where he ends up for daycare at 8 months old, we may have to stop CDing.
