December 2011 Moms

will you be buying LO a christmas outfit?

sooo with so many of us due in Dec I'm wondering how many will buy LO a christmas outfit?  my due date is 3 days after christmas...so I could buy one "in case" but really for a baby that is only a few days old?  maybe I should just stick with a christmas onesie.  an outfit would be cute but a) they arent' the most comfortable and b)really not worth spending the money.  what will you be doing?

  • I will probably get something, but I'm due on the 12th, so he'd be a couple weeks old by Christmas at least.  I really just want it for the pictures, I doubt I'll take LO to church that young, depending on the weather.
  • no, i'm due christmas day.

  • I'm due on Christmas, and we will get him a Christmas something (most likely just jammies), but I'll be most likely induced between 38 and 39 wks, so I'm confident he'll be home by Christmas.

  • I will get something but that is because I am due December 1st.  I haven't decided if I will do an outfit or just a christmas sleeper.

  • I am going to buy some sort of red or red and white striped sweater romper for Christmas day. I'm having a RCS on dec 19th so I know he will be here. Basically it's just for Christmas photos.
  • I haven't really thought about it, but if I can find a cute xmas sleep n play type outfit I may buy one just in case he is able to wear it, I am due Dec. 22nd so will keep the receipt and tags on it just in case I might need to return it. 
  • I bought the a cute little dress from once upon a child so i didnt pay to much for it.. im due the 23rd so we will see if i dont use it i can always turn around and sell it

  • I'm due 12.9.11 so I definitely plan to get LO a christmas outfit. Even if I go late he will be here before Christmas :) I've looked online but can't find any cute boy ones... there are little girl one's everywhere but boys seem harder to find.

     I think you might have better luck once Halloween is done.  Last year I didn't find my DS's until like November.

  • I'm going with a Christmas onsie....I have learned to not waste my money on items like this when they are so young...unless you are doing newborn photos in them.

  • It was the first thing I bought when we found out we were having a girl. I plan on dressing her in it even if she does come late (I'm due Dec 20th). Stick out tongue It was only a couple dollars and if we are in the hospital for Christmas we will be having our Christmas with family late. Mostly I bought it for pictures. I figure with a December baby a Christmas type picture makes sense for with the newborn photos, just to remember the time period. I'm really hoping she comes early because I really LOVE Christmas and want her to be here in time for it.

  • Yes, but not like a fancy/dressy outfit or anything.  I'm due the 6th, so baby will be here for Christmas.  I am just getting the onesie/sleeper type outfits (yes, multiple) from Carters.

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. I've only "looked" online so once the holidays get closer I'm sure the selection will increase- oh I can't wait :)

  • I have an outfit that my daughter wore for her first Christmas (she was 1 month), but I'll probably get something new for this babe. I'm kind of hoping I can find outfits for both girls that will look cute together in pictures.

  • We bought a cute Christmas onesie last week at Carters. That'll probably be it as far as holiday outfits go.

  • I have a set of (unisex) Christmas pajamas from DD that I'm hoping won't be too big.  If I find a cute one-piece boy outfit I might get that for pictures.  DS will definitely be here before Christmas so I guess I'll want something, but I probably won't start looking for a while, maybe not till after he's born and I know how big he'll be.

  • My due date is December 6th, and my mom has already bought our LO a Christmas outfit. (She actually bough a boy outfit and a girl outfit before we knew what we were having) I'm pretty sure I'll be going to Church on Christmas and it'll be a nice little outfit for her to wear. That being said I wouln't have spent the amount of money that she did on the outfit!

  • I'm not a big fan of Christmas (I'm a Jew & I worked in retail for WAY too long) but DH & the rest of his family LOVE the holiday.  I'm sure they will get this LO something cute, just like they did for DS.

  • I haven't decided this yet.  I guess I'll probably go the route of a onesie or a sleeper, since I'm due Christmas Day.  LO is measuring ahead of schedule, though, so he might be here before Christmas.

  • I have a christmas sleeper (carters), hat and bib. I don't expect baby to wear much more than that. And if baby comes after xmas then on well, we will still put the sleeper on it for bedtime.

    I did too!!! It's a littel red dress!!  I'm due Christmas Day but my family celebrates our Christmas on New Years eve. It's easier that way we can also spend time with our Inlaws and our own littel families Christmas Day!!

    I hope she will be here before the new year to wear it but who knows!!

  • I have three Christmas outfits--one hand-me-down and two were gifted at the shower. I LOVE Christmas and can't wait to put LO in them. I am due the 10th so there's only a very slim chance he won't be here by Christmas.

  • My grandma bought baby girl a dress from Carter's last week when they had their 50% sale for Labor Day. It is this dress with a cute little silver cardigan! That's what she'll wear for Santa pictures and to Christmas dinner. 

    We also bought some cute christmas onesies and sleepers for her to wear throughout December! :)

    Baby boy is due at the beginning of December, so I bought him a cute Christmas outfit from Carters. I already can't wait for him to wear it! It is black corduroy pants with a white button down onesie and a sweater vest! So cute!

    I was going to buy that.  It was sooo adorable.  I bought 2 christmas sleepers instead.  I think my mom bought it though.

  • I was kind of assuming that I wouldn't get anything, because DD is the 23rd, and although anything is possible of course, I'd be pretty surprised if she makes it home before Christmas.  

     Now that I read this thread and thought about it, I'll probably get a sleep and play for when we have "Christmases" with visitors, whenever they (and DD) come.

  • I have about 3-4 outfits already that friends/family have given us, so we will definitely be dressing our little guy up for Christmas!  
  • I'm due 12-6-11 so I am definitely getting him a christmas outfit.. I just need to find one we like :)  I'll probably wait a little while to get one so there are more choices.

  • My MIL is keeping her eyes peeled, and my mom I'm sure will be watching too. My parents will be arriving on the 24th, so if any Christmas outfit should appear it will come with them (Christmas outfits are pretty few and far between here in Turkey...).

    I do have a onesie I got at my parent's church yard sale. $0.50 and it says "No silent nights with me!" Super cute and cheap, nothing wrong with that :) 

  • I'm a lurker here, but I'm a December 09 mom! I got my son a Christmas outfit. I was due 12/23 and had him 12/18. It was nothing major, just a red and white striped onesie with green pants. He was our little elf Smile

  • I bought one already, but I'll probably buy another one for her for pictures.

  • I've already bought baby girl a "First Christmas" sleeper and onesie from Carter's and still continue to look at Christmas outfits in case I see something else I like.  Our LO is due a week before Christmas so I figure she'll be here by Christmas, but will probably be newborn size so I'm only looking at simple comfy outfits.
