Coming home outfit

I'm really struggling with this.. I keep thinking it has to be some awesome outfit, but can it just be a little onsie outfit? And should I get one for a boy and one for a girl or just use a gender neutral onsie I get from the shower?

Re: Coming home outfit
I got 2 onsies, girl and boy. Nothing too special, just something cute to take pictures in.
I thought this was cute and gender neutral:

I bought it in pink.
That is adorable!
Im waiting til after my shower to make a decision....I'll probably just end up bringing a few options to the hospital.
Oh that's too cute. I have a pink onesie that says mommy's diva on it. It also comes with little shorts.
maybe wait and see what you get at your shower. something might turn out to be really special.

I am not getting anything super "special". I honestly didn't even think much about it until I joined the bumo adn everyone was talking about it. This is just the outfit you are going to leave the hospoital and drive home in, don't think it needs to be over the top, but to each her own. We have received a lof of hand me downs from friends and I was just going to pick something out of that, that I thought was really cute. But wound up being in Target for something else and got a long sleeve striped onsie with feetsies (so I don't need to bring socks) - it's cute and to quell my guilt, now at least it is new and something DH and I picked out ourselves, but by no means nothing fantsy
Where I am from, down south, the coming home outfit is a pretty special article of clothing. Most baby girls come home in something smocked as do most boys. I think a onesie or romper is perfectly fine. We chose to put DD in an smocked dress for her outift. I think it is to each his/her own. Your baby will be precious no matter what he/she wears!!
That dress is absolutely beautiful! Sometimes I wish I wasn't team green, so I could pick a really cute outfit.
I'm not from the south, but I always thought the "coming home outfit" was something special. DD came home in a white quilted snowsuit with matching hat. It was adorable - though she looked a little like a starfish.
We live about 8 minutes from the hospital. We are putting the baby in a onesie with pants and a little cotton sweater and a matching hat, depending on the weather. She will have her blanket that I am almost done knitting, too.
I have the same feeling, so I bought a boy and a girl outfit in 0-3 months. On the odd shot that I have a newborn size baby I am bringing the gender neutral outfit that my grandmother bought LO before we found out LO was already over 3 lbs at 28weeks.
I brought both of my kids home in their hospital shirt, cap and blanket. Partly b/c I wanted our dog to recognize their scent. With each kid I sent a blanket home that they had been wrapped in so that my dog knew someone new to the family was coming home in a few days.
Even though I don't understand the concept of a "coming home" outfit (and I was born and bred in the deep south), I did get this LO a few coming home outfit options b/c it's a fabulous excuse to buy cute things from Janie and Jack :-)
I'm also getting several kimono shirts monogrammed for him so there will be lots of "coming home" outfit options.
