Team Greeners - going home outfit

VAtoCOVAtoCO
in April 2011 Moms

So...my latest obsession...the going home outfit!  For those who are team green, or BTDT moms who have been team green, did you buy a gender neutral outfit?  Or, did you buy one girl and one boy outfit? 

I'm just not finding much that's gender neutral that I find to be all that cute or special.  So, I'm thinking about going with an outfit for each.  Hmmm...

    I'm team pink, but if I were team green...I'd buy one of each!

    I plan on buying one of each.  My husband can bring whichever one is necessary the day we go home.

    We are team green and I have been thinking about this too. I'm still not sure but I have came up with 2 ideas.

    1. buy a neutral outfit (thinking cream color) and then buy a girl bib and boy bib and use which ever bib is needed. And return the other one.

    2. Buy both a girl and boy outfit. I'm thinking more towards #1 only because bibs are much cheaper. And it would be a every easy return.

    All of our newborn clothes are gender-neutral.  I love the greens and yellows, so I don't mind!

    Last time I knew what DD was and agonized over a going home outfit- I found the most perfect onesie ever. Then DD was born early, didn't fit in the outfit, went home in a hospital gown because it was the only thing that fit and didn't wear her going home outfit until MUCH later. So needless to say I realized the going home outfit is pretty pointless and not worth agonizing over. I'll be bringing a preemie and newborn white onesie to the hospital to wear home (depending on their size). the second you get home they generally go into pjs and stay that way for 3 months anyways.

    I am thinking that I may buy a neutral outfit and a blue/pink blanket or hat because I definitely want to have all clothing washed in dreft ahead of time.  I saw really cute and cuddly soft onesies and sleepers that were cream recently.  I also think that a simple outfit will be easier to deal with.

    Babies R Us has a selection of cute cream colored, classic looking outfits.  They're a little more expensive than some of the other clothes, but we're going to buy one nice, neutral outfit for all of our kids to come home in.  We thought we'd turn it into a tradition since we're Team Green too!

    With #1 we were Team Green also and I bought one of each and plan on doing the same thing this time around. 

    FYI - Kohl's has a great return policy and as long as you keep the receipt they will always take it back.  There is no 30, 45, 90 day limit!

    I bought a cute little polka dot outfit in oranges, greens, yellows, and browns...it's just a onesie with a little cap, and thought I would use that.  However, my mom has informed me that once she knows the sex of the baby, she is leaving the hospital and going shopping, so I'm sure she will pick something out.

    I just want baby and I to be comfy, and not necessarily have a little outfit.  I'm thinking a onesie with a receiving blanket over him or her.  I'm planning on just wearing yoga pants and a tank with maybe a cardigan over it (not that anyone asked what MOM was wearing to go home, but thought I'd throw that in there).  :)

    I am thinking of doing a Cubs outfit (because it will be around the beginning of MLB) and then bring a gender specific bib or something like that.

    I'm planning to buy a girl and a boy outfit.  We'll probably send the one we need home with my mom to wash and bring back.  I think I'm going to pick out the girl outfit and DH will pick out the boy outfit.
