My friend Beth wrote about cloth diapers and I thought it was a great idea (http://lifeonthespacecoast.blogspot.com/2009/08/cloth-is-success.html). When you think about it, it comes out to be cheaper, they cause less diaper rash, and they are easy to use. I have them on my regisrty at Target and am hoping to at least get enough gift cards to Target to buy a good enough supply to use them with Georgia. I already have 6 that my mom bought for me a few months ago.
The kind I registered for (http://www.bumgenius.com/one-size.php) is the same as what Beth uses and I am looking forward to using them. They have snap adjustments so that they can grow with your baby. They come with two inserts so that you can use two if you have a heavy wetter. And they are really soft, nothing to poke or irritate a baby at all. I did a good bit of research and looked at user comments on Target's website and on Amazon's website. Everyone seems to agree that these are easy to use and there is relatively no leaking involved.
When Georgia gets here I'll have to post pics of her in her diapers.
Meanwhile, we have a pack and play and a diaper bag. My mom is really excited and keeps buying stuff for us. Mainly she is getting the pricier stuff we registered for because she doesn't think anyone will get those items. The pack and play is mainly so that I don't have to go up and down the stairs after I give birth to take care of a baby. It seems that it is frowned upon, at least at first. Of course, in the off chance that we win the lottery and can actually go on a vacation somewhere, we have a pack and play to take with us. Oh, by the way, we are registered at Target and at Baby Depot at Burlington.
In other news, you can now see my tummy move when Georgia gets good and active (mainly at night). It is really strange. Shawn is fascinated by it and still can't believe that she is big enough to make my tummy move. In addition, our next doctor's appointment is tomorrow and I have my glucose test. I'm a little nervous about it, but hopefully I pass the first time around and don't have to go back for another one (that lasts three hours!).
I don't know why, but lately I have been paranoid that the sonographer actually got things wrong and we're not having a girl. We already have pink and lavendar stuff, so that may add to the anxiety. The picture seems pretty darn clear to me, but there is no accounting for expectant mother anxiety.
I'll update tomorrow to give my test results.

Yay!!!! I love cloth diapers! You'll have people think you're crazy and make comments, but it's really not much extra work at all.
I had that fear that it wasn't really a girl all the time too. We had like 3 or 4 clear shots with Eleanor (I had lots of ultrasounds since I was high risk), but I still worried! :) It's normal.
My sister used Bum Genius and loved them too. For multiple reasons they wouldn't work here but I seriously considered it and will reevaluate with each kid and place we live. So, excited for you sweet friend!!
