You may want to wait until after birth to purchase diapers. That way you will have a much better idea of how many newborn size diapers you will need. The hospitals usually provide you all the diaper supplies you need when the baby is still under their care. Some hospitals even let you take a few days' worth of diaper needs with you when you check out. if you ask your hubby to order diapers from Amazon as soon as you deliver, the package could arrive the next day. Super fast and convenient.
