I had wanted to use the same going home outfit for DD1 and DD2 but DD2 was too big 😂 my mom and sister wound up buying her a "little sister" outfit so maybe we will just recycle whichever one of those fits DD3.

I hadn't even thought about it until this post since I planned homebirths with my last three. I'll have to give it some thought.

With DS1, I had planned to use my Cricut to iron "hello world" onto a white onesie. He had blue striped pants and a matching hat. However, my water broke at 37 weeks and I hadn't made it yet so he went home in the white onesie and pants and hat. This time I plan to just take a cute footie pajama to take him home in. I'm much more concerned about what I want him to wear for pictures a week later!!

I've given a bit of thought to this, but not a lot.
I have a lot of hand me downs from my sister but nothing "worthy" of a coming home outfit. My shower is December 2, so I'll probably go shopping after then for clothes after I see what I get. I'm actually hoping that people won't buy me clothes because I would rather have the other stuff on my registry, but I know people (especially older generations) love to buy baby clothes, especially for girls. I just hope they are usable items and not a lot of frilly dresses in NB size.

Can I go off topic slightly, I've been thinking about getting the big siblings shirts they can wear to the hospital to meet the baby. We got DS a big brother shirt to wear to meet DD and mom and dad said he got a few excited comments from strangers on the way to our room, wearing a big brother shirt and showing up at the hospital with grandma and grandpa I guess it's pretty easy to figure out why he was there. ☺️ Anyway, that rambling to say I wanted to do the same thing this time so I think these are the shirts I've settled on for them.

tiffrobot cute! I really love that sweatshirt. I can’t decide if I want to do big sister shirts for the girls when they come to the hospital, or just have cute outfits picked out. At some point I’m going to make all four shirts with ‘sister squad’ on them. Thought it was kind of funny and cute. But I don’t think I want that to be what they wear in the hospital. Decisions decisions!

I really want to get G a big sister shirt like we did when we told our family but I don’t think they are going to let her into the hospital. During flu season they often don’t let toddlers in.

I'm not sure when our restriction starts - I think it depends on how many flu cases there are locally. I am not sure if I want Dylan to come anyway. She is in the separation anxiety phase and I'm afraid she will have a meltdown when she has to leave us. Maybe things will change in the next 11 weeks though but I'm not hopeful.

Our hospital policy is unless you're a sibling, kids under 12 are not permitted from like, October to April. But they make exceptions for siblings. I'd double check for sure!

Omg, I haven't even thought about E not being allowed...that will suck if he can't. I'm already worried about missing him while we are there!

I think ours lets siblings too but nobody else. I will be so sad if DD can’t come!!

I seriously can’t remember if our hospital had any restrictions but DD1 came to visit DD2 and she was born in February.

DS1 came home in a fire truck themed outfit and H would like to do that again so I've got my eye on a few things.
Our hospital allows only siblings in under 12 but last year had to even ban that because the flu was so bad. Since there's already cases of flu being confirmed here I'm preparing myself that he won't be able to come visit.

I think we're going to use the same outfit we did with DS. The onesie says "made with love and science" he was an August baby and we live in Florida so that's all he wore! We'll get pants and a zip up sweatshirt or something to wear with it.

I know it’s going to be quiet around here this weekend so thought I’d bump this up because I went through the kids old clothes last night and pulled out DS’s take home outfit and my favourite PJs of DD’s (since she wore a t shirt onesie home) so I have one of each ready to go!

I bought two options today for Faith's "coming home" outfit. I'm not sure which one we will use but they are both adorable! Both are way cuter in person, the pictures on the website looked really washed out... Option 1: Option 2:
