Question for Team Green Ladies...

I think I may have convinced my husband to keep the sex a secret until the baby is born (we found out with DS and DD). Since we found out with our other children I was able to pacify my A Type personality and have a gender specific coming home outfit ready. Now that we're going Team Green, I have been searcing for an adorable unisex coming home outfit that I can just bring a headband/flower clip if it's a girl. But I can't find ANYTHING that I absolutely love....what are you bringing???

Re: Question for Team Green Ladies...
This.
With my son (we didn't know either), my mom had bought some boy and girl outfits (kept the receipt). We picked our favorite girl and favorite boy outfit. Once our son was born, she washed the boy outfit and brought it to the hospital during one of her visits.
We'll do the same this time. Although when I think about it, it is kind of silly since we just drive straight home from the hospital, so nobody will even see him/her. But, it gives my mom something to do while she's taking care of my son
She likes having these planned activities.
To clarify I was thinking less for the actual "coming home" part, but more for the day when we'll be having the most visitors (I've had both babies really late at night/early morning so we didn't have visitors til later in the day once we were settled). I'm thinking I might have found one, Gymboree "Cute as a Button" grey/green polka dot pants with matching top with saying...maybe I'll search for a cute cap or a headband with a flower to put with it depending on what LO decides to come out as!
Awww, that's sweet!
My husband and I went to Target and picked out a girl outfit and a boy outfit. I know it's a little extra money, but I figure I can give the outfit we don't use as a shower gift in the future.
Just a simple white onsie. I think LOs loo adorable in a simple white onsie and we will wait for a specific outfit when whe DH shoots the NB pics.
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. And with sizing and all, I have a packed a few sizes of white onsies since we don't know exactly what will fit.
I've got two outfits (one for a boy & the other for a girl)... the boy outfit is a one-piece blue striped outfit w/matching hat and the girl outfit is a tunic & leggings.
I love the surprise, but also like having something special for either gender! I suppose if I found something cute that was unisex I'd be all for it, but with DS's and this pregnancy I didn't. I just plan on reusing the outfits that I buy for the particular season for future kids, or I'll sell them to somewhere like Once Upon a Child eventually!
As far as having a fall/winter baby, with DS (being a summer baby) I found an adorable cable knit sweater one piece outfit in white that he wore at his baptism. Definitely gender neutral and adorable! I got ours from BRU and I think they carry them each year.
