I'm not team green, but still have about two weeks until my anatomy scan to find out sex. I've gotten a serious shopping bug this last week and was hoping in the meantime to pick out a few gender neutral clothing items just to tide me over. Well easier said than done! Practically every store I've walked in has had a "blue section" and a "pink section." Where are all the cute green, yellow, cream outfits I remember companies making a few years ago? I used to work in a children's toy and clothing store and it was never like this!
I managed to find two onesies that say "I love mommy" and "I love daddy," and that's it! Unless you buy all plain white onesies or there are secret shops on the Internet I don't know about, I seriously don't get it. For being in an age that is probably the most gender aware and least gender stereotyping I don't understand why major stores don't have more options for gender neutral.
Re: How do you team green ladies do it??
We are going to take a girl and boy outfit with us for bringing the baby home.
Also, clothes have been low on our baby-buying priority list.

Due Date: January 6, 2016
I got infant sewing patterns a couple weeks ago so I could make some neutral outfits for this LO.
This time we are team green again and again I'm not worried about clothes. We have girl stuff even if it's a tad off season, and if we have a boy we'll deal with clothes after the fact.
It helped save us so much money because I wasn't buying clothes before hand and we got so many clothes with all of our kids as gifts. And realistically I will go shopping right after I get home.
