I understand, I knew you wouldn't want to let go of it. I don't think I ever would, it would be one of those outfits I store away forever cause I just can't part with them

Last pregnancy I brought two or three outfits in varying sizes because both of our mothers were all "You guys are going to have a huge baby!". We are pretty tall individuals. We also had almost zero newborn clothes.

Low and behold I give birth to a premie sized baby girl weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs 10oz. And she went home with sleeves and cuffs rolled up to the hilt. She's still a petite little thing to this day.

brook-michael was 9lbs and still fit in newborn for the first week...and he was 22 inches. I think things are cuter when they fit better but it's such a hard investment for wearing once.

My LO was only around 4.5 lbs when she came home, so I will probably bring her same preemie outfit, just in case! Who knows what size this kid may be if he/she goes full term, which is the hope! So, I may go through our NB and 0-3 stuff and find some either GN or one of each to have on hand. And I may make a GN blanket to go on the carseat, since all I have are pink blankets! Even though we didn't know what we were having, since she came almost 3 months early, spent 2 months in the hospital, we had plenty of time to acquire only girly stuff! Now the really important thing is not what is baby going to wear home, what am I going to wear home??

Since we're having a homebirth too, our baby will have a first outfit, not a coming home outfit. I have this super adorable rainbow pajamas and I am knitting a hat and booties that should match well for baby if baby is a girl. If baby is a boy, I haven't chosen his first outfit yet. I will pick something after I've brought up the newborn clothes and see what I have.

I think I'll do this... a couple of outfits in varying sizes. I have no idea what size baby will be. I'm petite, my husband is a bit above average. I was a huge baby. He was a small baby. Nothing makes sense. My mom is certain this baby will be big and a little bit early because hers were. And I don't care about the investment of buying something that will only be worn once or twice. This is baby number 1 and it took 12 months of ttc and 2 false starts to get here so you better believe this baby is wearing something adorable that fits perfectly and probably costs far too much.

This is my first (and possibly my last). I will be at a hospital or birth center. Once I find out what the gender is, I will go looking for the "perfect outfit". I know, sounds high maintenance. But it is my little one. It won't always be wearing the expensive clothes but I think one time won't be so bad, especially if it's honored.
