  You probably won't need any more NB covers since you plan to snappi, assuming the kinds you bought work for you.  I would have small bummis superbrite and sized thirsties covers on your registry.  You will also need cloth wipes.

  I would focus your registry on what you will need in OS. I was lucky in that my friends and family bought a ton of CD stuff off of our registry, so I think it's better to have what you will actually need.

  How often are you wanting to wash?  If you wash every day or every day and a half, you should be good to go on NB stuff.  If you want to wash EOD then you might want another dozen prefolds. 

  As PP said, 4 covers is probably good if you always snappi.  If you want to tri-fold you may want 2-4 more covers.

  As far as wetbags - I like to have two large wetbags (or two pail liners and a pail) for home, two medium wetbags for daycare and one small wetbag for the diaper bag.  That way when one is in the wash you have a backup.

  CD safe cream I like to have three small jars/sticks.  One for changing table, one for diaper bag, and one for the diaper caddy we use in the livingroom during the day and in our room at night.

  Don't forget cloth wipes, CD saft detergent, and I really like having a drying rack - just one of those cheapie wooden ones works great for covers.

  Thanks ladies!  I think I will swap out some of the other NB/S covers on my registry for OS/larger sizes then.  And good call on having multiple creams for multiple locations - not something this FTM would have thought of until I was in a pinch!

   My plan is to snappi, barring any unforeseen complications.

  I may throw a few more prefolds on there too just to be safe...

  Honestly if you are in a pinch on wash day the smalls should fit your newborn. Just be bulky. If costs is a factor it'd be better to add to your one size stash.
  
  Id get a couple more covers like the pp said.
  
  This from a pregnant girl who has WAY TOO NB DIAPERS. LOL
  
  It just depends on what is important to you.

   Thanks, I was wondering about that!  I just prepped the prefolds and it doesn't seem like there is a ton of difference between the two sizes.
