Coming home outfit

Have any of you (who know gender or are Team Green) started thinking about this?
I'm a little bored at work so I've been looking online.

Re: Coming home outfit
Moral: I think I'm going less "Coming Home outfit" and more cute pattern outfit.
I just checked out Tiny Sprouts. Yes, very cute, but holy crap who can/will spend $58 for a coming home outfit!??!!?
I'm thinking some more along these lines!

True...my SIL did and it was really cute with the matching blanket she still uses but still...for DD we bought from Janie and Jack, sale item...
I'm in Michigan too and decided on long sleeves since I figure even if it is hot out they will be in the cool air conditioning...I contemplated on what to do for a while though!
I'll likely just pick a cute sleeper or NB outfit from whatever we've bought or get at our shower.
I'm using a lot of hand-me-downs for this DS, but his coming home outfit will be one that's new to him.
We have 'Little Sister' sleeper that we are planning to bring her home in. I will also pack a cute onesie (in a 0-3 size rather than a NB size so it doesn't rub on her cord) just in case it's unbearably hot, which is likely since I'm due Sept. 2nd. I also have a basic pink Carter's cotton cap to put on her head.
It's just NMS to be spendy on a coming home outfit. It's not like we are coming home to a house full of people or anything.
I've been thinking about this, but haven't made a decision yet. I'll probably pick something among the stuff we've accumulated so far. There are a few contenders I can think of right off the bat.
Both of my girls came home in the outfit I came home from the hospital in. It's a short pink dress with a lace color, so I'm thinking I should pick something else for this LO.
I'll definitely be doing long sleeves. It might be warm or it might be cold, but even in the heat I'm thinking the air conditioning would be too much for thin, new skin to handle without being uncomfortable.
At the end of September, the average high here is in the low 70s and average low in the low 50s. However, I live in Ohio, so it could be 80 or 40. I got this outfit recently and might use it as the going home outfit -

It's super soft and comfy.
For DD we got a pretty little dress, tights, bloomers, etc. It was overkill, and I changed her into a sleeper within a few minutes of being home.
With DS I plan on picking out a cute sleeper and calling it good. (I'll pack one newborn size and one 0-3 month size so I'm set no matter what he weighs.) He'll be way more comfortable, and I won't have to change him after a few pictures.
For DS, I had a cute 0-3 month outfit picked from our shower gifts. Last minute, I decided to grab the only newborn sleeper we had and bring it along just in case. Even the newborn size was too big on him.
I will pick out a little something for DD. She has already received a ton of hand me downs from my generous SIL and I don't plan on buying her anything for a while, but I want something 'just hers' for coming home. It won't be anything fancy though, probably just a sleeper or a kimono top and pants.
I was going to mention this, too. My second DD was 7 lb 3 oz, so a normal size. But she absolutely SWAM in newborn and couldn't even come close to wearing 0-3 until she was nearly two months old.
Moral of the story is, definitely grab a newborn size to bring to the hospital too, if you are planning on a 0-3 for the coming home outfit.
This is one of the gowns I am thinking, may get a few other options in case she doesn't fit!
Right after we found out it was a boy, DH went and bought this outfit for him and asked that we bring him home in it. I thought it was too cute and agreed to it.

No. Sleepers are one piece outfits that usually zip or snap, have long sleeves and long pants, and usually cover the feet too. Basically pajamas, but for little babies, they make more variety so they can be worn as an outfit too.
A sleep sack is what it sounds like. It is either sleeveless or long sleeved, and is basically a wearable sleeping bag. It would NOT work as a going home outfit as you wouldn't be able to put a baby in a car seat and buckle it between their legs if they were in a sack. In almost every state, even if you live within walking distance of the hospital, you're required to leave with baby in a car seat.
