Getting Started with Cloth Diapering

I am 6 months pregnant with my 4th child and would like to give cloth diapering a try........but.........I have no idea where to start! Where do you buy the diapers, how is it different from disposable diaper care, cleaning, costs, ect. Also, what do you see as the benefits for the child?
