What are you dressing you LO in to come home? Something simple? Fancy? I am a FTM, and want this to be something special but can't seem to find anything.
I haven't bought anything special, but I dressed DD in a footed sleeper that said "Daddy's Little Girl". I may do the same for LO, since this is DH's first child
It will be cold here, so we're using a fleece sleeper (with a onesie underneath) and a hat. I've never really seen the point of a fancy outfit for coming home; it's just a car ride. I'd rather put my babies in something that's comfortable and easy to put on.
Same as what many have already said: long sleeve onesie with a fleece one piece and socks, hat... I did however buy a cute "new year's baby" onesie with a tutu today for her hospital pictures. :-)
Ours will depend on the size of the baby we have a newborn/3 month option (both are fuzzy sleepers)...also depends on how long we end up staying in the hospital. We were in less than 24hr with DS so he was just in a simple onesie until we had to go outside, the he was in a sleeper wih blankets so you really couldn't see what he was wearing anyway.
It needs an "outfit"? I don't even have "outfits" for myself. I'll prob just shove a onesie and a hat in my bag and call it a day. No need to be high maintenance from day one
I have a newborn outfit: white long sleeve onesie, skinny jeans, cute little knit booties, and a teal puffy vest. Haven't figured out the 3 mo size option yet. She'll be headed straight for her light grey and white cheetah print bunting though either way, with a white super soft and fluffy hat from Old Navy to wear outside. I just can't wait. The excitement is just paramount.

That's the nice thing about the one-piece sleeper thingies. Boom! Instant outfit! Now if only they were acceptable for adults...
@emmyg65 You and your LO could have matching coming home outfits!!
My grandma knit a sweater and hat that we might use for pictures in the hospital, but for coming home we'll probably use this outfit we got at the shower since it's simple, warm and works for being team green:

How is having an outfit for a baby high maintenanced?
Planning an elaborate outfit for a car ride on an animal that's just gonna poop or puke or pee on it seems like a high maintenance task to me. I'm more worried about not leaving it behind or coming home with the wrong kid
The traditional coming home outfit for DH's family is way too thin for a winter baby (even though DS was born in December, it's waaaay different in Florida).
Little girl will most likely be in a cozy onesie with a super cute hat

After reading all this I'm worried that all the clothes we have are 0-3 months. No new borns...
NB size is 5-8 lbs. I would keep with your 0-3 mos. They will wear longer. I dont even know if NBs will fit babies, maybe since there are 2, but noone in my family was under 8lbs at birth.... so I may have wasted time/effort detagging and washing it all!
likely matching/ coordinated onesie/ fleece sleeper bag combos :-)
I have a few cute onsie/sleeper type outfits I'll tuck in the bag and decide the day of. By deciding, I mean I'll see which one I'll dig first out of the bag. We are team green so I'll stick a few different hats in there that are more boy or girl.
I have an adorable little grey/white fleece snowsuit. That is what I'm really considering the going home outfit.

Same here for about 4 or 5 weeks. We didn't have any newborn clothes(cuz you don't need em!) and ended up at Target 3 times to get NB clothes in the first week.
Yeah, my 9 lb 2 oz baby wore newborn clothes for a few weeks, too. But if I had no nb, and she had to wear 0-3, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Shoot, they put a 6 month size kimono shirt on her in the hospital. It looked ridiculous, but baby definitely didn't care.

Let PP it's just a car ride lol at the Sip & See I might dress her up a little bit fancier but we shall see.
