As of now, I'm thinking we'll do the penguin outfit on top (NB size). We actually have hardly any NB clothing, but I think that may change after the shower. The bottom outfit is fleece and 0-3 mo and DH is seriously obsessed with it, so if she's somehow too big for NB clothes (which I doubt) we'd probably do that. But this could change depending on shower gifts.
For me, it'll be sweats/leggings and a tee and hoodie (or even a robe). Depending on how swollen my feet are, I'm planning to wear my Uggs (they're super roomy, so I'd have to be pretty dang swollen for them to not fit).
I brought my son home Dec 2015 in a gorgeous Mickey Mouse onesie so thought I'd bring my daughter home in a Minnie Mouse one, they also share a due date
@elcd458 I've also been debating any Christmas-y stuff with 12/31 due date. DS was born nearly a month early, so I'm mentally preparing that nearly anytime after Thanksgiving/early December could be fair game, but it could've been a fluke, and this LO maybe won't arrive until January. I do have 1 slightly holiday-ish sleeper and probably won't get anymore unless she arrives well before Christmas.
I have not picked a coming home outfit yet, but I do have several possibilities. Will post a photo when I'm near that stuff. I will say definitely bring a backup! With DS I had a nice coming home outfit chosen, and he peed on it before we were supposed to leave. Ended up using a backup onesie lol AFM, it could be fairly cold here so probably maternity leggings, top and fleece with Ugg-type boots. Maybe a winter coat if necessary.
aheqoefamily where are the little bear booties from? I think we are going with the name Theodore now so I have been buying allllll the teddy bear themed things.
@moonlady-2 all 3 of my kids have been different. My first nb was big, my 2nd nb fit him for a few weeks, and my 3rd nb was huge. He needed preemie for the first month. This one is measuring really big and I have GD this time so I'm assuming he will be big.
My DD was born at 8lb8oz and comfortably fit in newborn for a few weeks. This baby is looking to be a nine pounder so I think I'll be safe and bring a 0-3 as well.
I'm bringing one NB and one 0-3 but I hope the 0-3 fits him because I like it better. We don't have much NB clothes because babies in both of our families have run large, so of course this guy is measuring behind now.
Not sure as well if I should bring or even buy NB clothes. DD was 9lbs and 20.5” and did fit in NB for a week or two. Ultrasound tech said this baby is measuring tall and big so maybe I skip the NB and have the 0-3 size fit big for a bit. These little details are what keeps me up at night!
@kyrwyn, you cray. Give me the 6 lbs baby and the second choice outfit over the 9 pounder and my favorite outfit. That's a BIG difference when you're pushing it out, lol
Momma to Amelia Marie (7/14) and Austin Samuel (11/17). Adding baby (girl) #3 on 7/21
@ameliabedelia-2 Hah! Good point. I was thinking "maybe he'll be long enough to pull off 0-3 months" or something, not chunk-wise. Or "maybe this 0-3 outfit runs small". But I will totally accept being "cray" at this point. That seems like a fair assessment.
Am I the only one having a hard time narrowing it down to two out fits? I legit have like 10 in my bag and just unpacked them and laid them all out to go over them again. WTH. Lol
@ShyTonia yeah, I just packed baby's hospital bag today and put in a couple newborn outfits and a couple 0-3 outfits. We want to have a photo session in the hospital & figure the baby may soil what they wear for that & need another outfit for coming home. Baby clothes take up no space, so I don't even care!
I mostly just picked out the few things that I bought or made (we mostly have cousin hand-me-downs). If the kid fits in NB size, I'm pretty sure we'll have him/her in the dark gray outdoorsy footy onesie on the far right.
y'all these are adorable! I haven't been able to find anything I really like to bring DS home in. Plus with how I'm measuring I have to have two outfit options in case he's on the bigger side like they suspect.
I also had to go check my hospital bag to see what I actually packed to bring him home in.
I'll take a Pic when I'm hope later, but I think I landed on a white long-sleeved onesie that has gold hearts on it and black leggings.
But what is more special is my mom found part of the outfit that I came home from the hospital in.. Its a full body fleece zip up that goes over the outfit and then goes into a sack. So I'm gonna bring that too

We have an outfit picked out, but a co-worker just gifted us this, which may be the backup: The mittens may get stolen by big sis, but I love the "baby it's cold outside" sleeper!
