Coming home outfits...

jj0313 · October 2014

Are you all buying anything special to bring the babes home in? I hemmed and hawed over this, telling myself one second it was a waste of money, the next that it would be a sweet thing to save and show her later.

I finally broke down and bought something today. I'm pretty sure the gal calculated the discount wrong and gave me 50% off instead of 30% off (original price was outrageous, IMO) so I'm feeling less guilty but still a little bit like a sucker.

What about you ladies? Special outfit or just some jammies?

We're just taking baby home in footed pajamas.

kimberly_ann81 · October 2014

I did a special outfit for going home but they wore it more than just the one time. I have little girl's dress ready to go already as well. I plan to save their outfits in my hope chest as well as the little hat they get in the hospital.

I'm doing a special outfit! It was only 20!

huntress17 · October 2014

So long story short they still couldn't give us a straight answer is LO is a boy or girl. Kinda frustrated lol. But we chose a batman onesie with grey pants and a long sleeved onesie for the hand covers. If it's a boy then LO will wear that. If it's a girl I made a cute little black and yellow headband to wear

Pics or it didn't happen

I've been trying to find something comfy and warm and adorable and baby blue hahaha, anyone find anything matching that?
I guess since most of his clothes are DS's baby clothes I just want him to have something special to wear that is just his

Or maybe I'm just fishing for an excuse to buy more baby clothes?

Cici3913 · October 2014

I bought a monnogrammed layette and cap for her to come home in. I figured it's something comfy and cute and something she will wear at least a few times. It's 0-3month.

jj0313 · October 2014

Here is the one I got-wouldn't upload on mobile-annoying!

Sorry for the two pictures ugh lol. But here is my outfit

Carebella · October 2014

I wanted to have a fun coming home option and thought I was all set until I started worrying about the cord stump, trying to pull a onesie over baby's head and if I wanted to fuss with gloves and socks if it was cold out. So I splurged and got a couple of outfits that I'll pack so we have options in case it's warm or cold. But they are all outfits that the baby will wear even after coming home so I don't feel too guilty.

@hellosweety18‌ This isn't baby blue in color but I think it's cute, super soft, and definitely should be warm! It's one of the options I'll pack. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NNX0CWM

hellosweety18 · October 2014

@Carebella‌ that is soooo cute! And looks super warm

I'm in Minnesota so I am sure that it is going to be chilly!

meeshybee · October 2014

Since I'm due so close to Halloween, I splurged on a "Peek-a-Boo" onesie with a little ghost on it in case she's a couple days early. Probably cursing myself to be a week late just by owning it, haha.

Assuming it's too late to use that, I have a cute sleeper we'll put her in. Although the weather is so unpredictable here this time of year I'm thinking about packing a short-sleeved outfit, too.

MmmPopcorn · October 2014

I received a little sleeper onesie early in my pregnancy, and we're using that. It's unisex, and I wanted an outfit that would look cute on a boy or a girl since we're team green. I did, however, invest in two different hats so that baby will be immediately identifiable as a boy or a girl even with the little sleeper.

moroccojade · October 2014

My daughter picked out an "outfit" for our baby to go home.

It's just comfy footed pants and a cozy top that does up on the side. White with a few teeny pink rosebuds. It is really pretty. But basically... It's just pajamas.

lovingaddi · October 2014

I bought a "special" going home outfit, but just from Target. I just wanted something really cute that I chose for her. (:

This is what we got for Max to wear home. I love it because DH calls me bear and Max baby bear so it's perfect. I'm in So Cal so he probably won't need the jacket, but it'll be nice to have

We picked the same outfit!

lil_shocker · October 2014

I don't know if I will havee aboy or girl. If it is a girl I have a sleep n play for her that says baby girl on it and if it is a boy, I will put him in one of my son's sleepers from when he was a newborn.

alysonmh · October 2014

I let my daughter pick out his coming home outfit. I could tell she felt a little left out considering that hubby gets to cut the cord and that I get to hold him first so I wanted to do something to make her feel like she had her own special part in his arrival. She did a pretty good job and it definitely made her feel special

ccam · October 2014

Team green and this is our going home outfit! Not sure about the onesies yet but the white outfit is a definite and the ridiculous hat is because I'll be discharged on Thanksgiving

kjmommy1214 · October 2014

We had one picked out, but she will not fit in it. So, we are going to go look when I get released. If we don't find anything amazing, we will choose something DH had already bought.

Kristil2014 · October 2014

I have a coming home outfit. She will wear it until she grows out of it, but I will be putting it away for her for when she is older.

What a great idea!

I picked a couple options out of things we were given as shower gifts. I couldn't decide when I was packing my hospital bag because I wasn't sure what the weather would be like, etc. And I packed in a flurry of panicking one day that I would go into labor and not have ANYTHING ready to go. I may switch something out yet, he got a lot more cute things at my 2nd shower. I've got two outfits and a sleep sack. The outfit with the little blue pants is from my SIL.

aa98 · October 2014

I've been waiting for someone to post a thread about this again! I think the last time we (N14) talked about it was back in July.

I definitely want LO's coming home outfit to be something DH and I pick out vs. a gift. I don't need anything fancy. I am thinking these blue footie pants with a side closure long sleeve top with a side snap tee underneath (worried about the umbilical stump so no onesies). DH's idea is to get him a silly cap so I'll start a short list and let him pick from there. If I just leave it up to him, he'll never buy one in time

MissN06 · October 2014

I bought a kiwi onesie that's says "My big brother is a Multipoo" and a pair of black pants.

kimberly_ann81 · October 2014

This was Sweet Pea's outfit, it had a little jacket:

This one is Peanut's; no good photo of him in it; we were team green so it worked for either boy or girl:

babysis013 · October 2014

Since our due date is the day after Thanksgiving, a friend of ours is putting this design on a long sleeve onesie for us! I figure if the baby shows up early, it will work. If we are a day or two late, it will still work. If we go into December then we'll have to rethink the outfit.

wallygirl · October 2014

I'm not a huge gymboree fan but fell love with a one piece outfit there before DD was born. She wore that home with the matching hat and blanket. As long as I like the current newborn lines I will probably do the same for this LO. I'll either buy a boy and girl outfit and return the one we end up not needing. My mom or DH will wash the one we need while I'm in the hospital.

JustJainey · October 2014

I can't help but think of the Lion King, when I think about bringing LO home. So, I found a little Simba outfit, but am uncertain whether the size is going to be right.

MrsG1019 · October 2014

He'll likely be coming home in high 80 temps thanks to living in California but we'll of course have a blanket too. Those aren't real jeans .. More like sweats material made to look like jeans

AnnieRoo13 · October 2014

I have two options, one is newborn size (stripes) and the other is 0-3 months (blue). I didn't buy anything special and he'll wear them until they don't fit, but I'll probably put whichever one works away in his memory box.

belmont1785 · October 2014

We are due thanksgiving day but will be induced at 39 weeks. So I thought this outfit was fitting

JFH2010 · October 2014

I love the idea of having your older child pick it out! That hadn't even occurred to me. @moroccojade & @alysondh did you guys buy something new and take the older one to get it? Or did you have them pick it out of their hand-me-downs?

moroccojade · October 2014

JFH2010

We bought it new. My daughter is already 7... Her stuff has been in storage a loooong time. (Although some of it still looks ok, I guess.)

My babies are different seasons, too. #1 born in August, #2 end of November. So this one needed something cozier.

sAAmFam · October 2014

Did you girls get newborn sizes or 0-3 months. I remember my son floating in his 0-3 month outfit. Wondering if what I have will fit her. It's so small!

Carebella · October 2014

@sAAmFam‌ I've been buying 0-3 between knowing big babies are a trend on my side and DH's side. And that if we try and use a cloth diaper at the birth center they can cause clothes to fit smaller. I did break down though and buy at least one side snap onesie in a newborn size that will work with some 0-3 month pants as a coming home option.

alibissell · October 2014

We are (and were for our first two) team green. So, we purchased a cute girl and a cute boy outfit (aka zip up footed pjs- IMO the easiest outfit to put on newborns). We figure whichever we don't use we can pass along to a friend. My DD (baby #2) needed to be changed immediately after putting the outfit on and of course ended up peeing all over her outfit. Luckily we had another outfit to put her in (thanks to my parents). We put the outfits (that they wore home) in shadow boxes with pictures of them in the outfits, along with some other hospital keepsakes. I wouldn't blow the budget on anything, but I think it's nice to have something special

sAAmFam · October 2014

@Carebella‌ I've bought most 0-3. Picked up a couple newborn sleepers at once upon a child for a couple bucks. I probly packed too many clothes for her at hospital. And bows too. I think I have 5 in the bag. Lol!

luvalways77 · October 2014

I really wanted to buy a special outfit, but decided to just pick from clothes we already bought for her. She'll wear a pink long sleeve onesie with mitten hands that has "Daddy's Girl" written on the front, a pink shorts, pink hat, and pink socks. Can't wait to see her in it. Plus we have a pink blanket to cover her in car seat in case it's cold.

missnacholover · October 2014

Nah. I just picked out my favorite sleep-n-plays that we have in size NB and 0-3mos.
