This came up on the weekend ticker change thread and I thought it deserved its own thread... What do you plan to dress baby in when you bring him or her home for the first time? I have a few cute onesies (0-3m) but I'm undecided on the going home outfit for baby boy F. Share your thoughts and any potential going home outfits for your LOs here!
Re: Going home outfit
Here's the one I picked out (along with baby's first book/toy/blanket [that my mom made!]/STFU I'M TRYING TO WORK machine). The design made me laugh -- I don't know whether that stunnned-looking groundhog is mirroring my expression or the futurebaby's, but I'm sure it'll be at least one of ours -- but I doubt this particular onesie will be seeing a ton of use beyond that, since it's a pull-on design and everything I've read suggests that snap and kimono garments are more practical for daily use.
Still, for $17 off Etsy, I can't regret it even if we only end up using it the once.
This time I got the cutest outfit, so I hope it fits. (I took off the huge bow on the pants though)

We brought DD home in the white hospital onesie. Both DH and I were so over being in the hospital we didn't want to waste any more time being there. We were also terrified to change her. Haha first time parent probs. Definitely take NB size clothing. You would be surprised.
DH bought this at Christmas time and a little headband with a bow for her take home outfit. He hates shopping so I thought it was super sweet that he took the time to pick this out for our little Princess.
Found this on Etsy... haven't ordered it yet... but I'm obsessed with it ... so payday I'm definitely putting in my order.
In my family we always use yellow, it's a tradition!
It will be winter with us then!
