I didn't see a thread for this but if there is one, just ignore this...
I've narrowed it down to two & I'm trying to decide on which to bring her home in...Have any of you decided? Post a pic! :-) I'll post mine so you guys can help me!
I love coral- it is probably my favorite color, but i vote for the first one because it has the hand cover option so the baby girl doesnt scratch herself in the face
And yes Carolyn is right there was a thread a few months back

I love both, and almost voted for the bottom one because it is so cute and pretty, but I think I like the white and purple best for a coming home outfit and the other for another day, or maybe for pictures with DS holding her. The white and purple is just so sweet and soft for a new baby and I love the hand covers!
We don't have any options yet. I've managed to resist all the cuteness so far because I am certain after out shower we will have plenty to chose from! Between my and SO's families this little girl has 5 Aunties, 14 Great Aunties and more cousins than I can even count who will no doubt be coming out of the woodwork with adorable little outfits. I'll be posting here soon!
I don't want to spend money on NB sizes until I know he is small enough to need them, since DS only wore them for about three weeks. But I did pick up one NB romper for $2 at a consignment sale so I'll throw that in the bag along with a 0-3 onesie. Whichever fits, he'll come home in.
I'd post a picture but right now I am reclined on the sofa with a big thing of chili cheese fries balanced on my bump and have no interest in disturbing the beauty of this moment. So maybe later.
I posted my choices in that thread...one is a little onesie and pants with a tutu that's NB sized my dad picked out and the other is a little cotton dress and cardigan I picked out in 0-3mos. It depends on how big she is, really. Both are carter's.

I didn't want to get ANY newborn clothes - DS was completely out of NB by 10 days, and I had plenty of unisex left over. But my mom got about 4 outfits anyway (few enough to fit in a big ziploc baggie.)
Also much like jimbobcooter, if I get up, it's gonna be to do chores. Too lazy to take pics of baby clothes too.
likely the sleeper in this set, also has a shark on it.
Given how long DS1 was (and that at my anatomy scan DS2 appeared on the same trajectory)I skipped all newborn clothing. I'll take something NB that we had from DS1 just in case.

I mentioned my plan in the original thread but didn't have a photo at that stage. This is the dress my mum knitted for me when I was a baby so if it's not too big I plan to bring her home in it. She knitted the booties for my shower gift.
Not sure what I'll do if it's too big, I'm sure I'll have a cute back up by then.
I'm team green so I have two outfits, possibly three I only have pics of the original two though.
I am so glad to see someone else planning on bringing their LO home in a romper- we live in Alabama, and I can't picture putting him in long sleeves/pants.... It's so dang hot/humid here!
Here's what we're planning on. It's 0-3 months, but I am also going to bring a NB outfit too, just in case this is too big. I'm bring a hat, some socks, and a hoodie too.
I'm not really planning anything special; I'm bringing a plain NB sized onesie (that I found when cleaning out my son's clothes, he was too long and never wore NB size) and a cute pink onesie that will be the one we probably use. I have a ton of cute stuff for her but there's no one but us to see her when she gets home so I'm going with easy.
I handmade DDs but I'm doing more sewing for this little guy. I think I'm going to pick between a few outfits I have already. I have a couple newborn and 0-3 Otherwise I'm letting DH pick something.

I was planning to buy something but baileybaileybne gave me a new idea. My MIL made a little dress for baby's blessing that we aren't going to use. Maybe I should plan on it being a coming-home dress? Not sure. It's very intricate and I'm not sure it will fit. I kind of think something simpler might be better. I should probably save the dress for formal pictures.

I took a few outfits for DS. I'm pretty sure he ended up coming home in one of the side snap Ts from the hospital instead....it was such a blur when we were finally being discharged that a coming home outfit was the last thing on my mind. I think we only took 1 photo too...looking back now I didn't even have him properly in the car seat...oh the things you learn as a FTM.
Anyway I think both outfits are cute but if your son is going to have a big brother short on I'd go with the coral sister outfit.
I haven't decided what I'm taking for this LO yet, other than the yellow footed PJs that we did DSs hospital pics in. Because I want pics of LO in the same outfit DS wore. (Hoping it fits her)
I have two outfits I'm going to take. One is a NB size from my mom that says 'Just like dad' and has bulldogs on it. The other is 0-3m from my MIL has a giraffe on it and says something like 'Very Loved' on it. My family tends to make large children so I'm just planning for either size.

We'll do something easy, since it'll just be the three of us. We'll probably pick a cute nb and a 0-3 onesie (we're team green so everything we have so far is gender-neutral anyway), and grab some pants or something in case it's cool enough to need them.

I'm debating the same thing. DD was team green, so we had a little white sleeper with a teddy bear on it, and a matching hat. This time I know we are having a boy. I'm torn between wanting to get him his own outfit, or putting him in the same thing his sister wore home. Decisions, decisions!

I figure it's always safe to have a gender neutral outfit just in case USs were wrong
