Hi! As you can imagine, I don't have too much time to get on the computer so I'm sorry I missed your page!

For the CDs, I think I got 48 NB size diapers (a combination of xs FB, xs BG AIOs, Grovia NB AIOs, KL0s, GMD workhorse fitteds, WAHM fitteds, and Thirsties covers). I got a dozen GMD prefolds as a back up and we've only had to use them about twice. To be honest, the laundry is pretty much the only household chore that still gets done (by me) and it's not too bad. I haven't vacuumed, cooked (except heating things up), or anything else since before the twins were born, but I am able to throw in a load of laundry and just reset the cycles throughout the day. If I have time, I will take them out and put them in the dryer/ on the drying rack but if not, DH will do it when he gets home. We just started trying out our OS stash yesterday. I haven't finished buying all of those but so far I have 12 BG 4.0s, 2 Blueberries, 4 OS FBs, 12 Sunbabies, and 8 Kawaiis so 38 total. Most of the NB dipes still fit (we are just starting to get leaks with the Grovia and FB even though they aren't even on the biggest setting yet) so we're just going to start circulating in the OS diapers until i get a better handle on how many OS diapers we will need and we complete our stash (I am assuming I won't need as many OS as I did NB).

The nursing pillow I am using is the EZ2Nurse Twin. The mom of the twins I used to babysit for still had hers so she gave it to me. Otherwise I was going to buy in on Amazon. I really like it and wouldn't be able to tandem nurse without it. I have done it on a regular boppy but it's so much harder and a real PITA. If I only had the boppy, I probably would only tandem nurse very rarely.

ETA: I just read your page... I have the original because that's what was given to me. I don't know if the one you linked would have worked for me in the beginning because I needed to constantly be putting them back on and be holding their heads in the right direction (I still do but not as much). I have two covers for the pillow because it often gets spit up on or peed on so if I were you I might consider getting a regular cover and the one that you linked. That way you can use whichever one works better for you as your primary cover and the other one as your back up.
