Bringing Home Baby

Jacadi Floral Print Velour Suit

Is it wrong that I think of things like what outfit should new baby wear home from the hospital?

Don't answer that.

Whatever. I'm an over-planner and I feel more in control of a situation that I recognize is entirely not within my control if I *think I know what I'm doing. Clear as mud?

The reality is I'm pretty much out of time to do anything more than what I have to do between now and the big day next week. So my home-from-the-hospital-baby-wearing-plan is really more about surfing the internet while watching a PVR-ed "Once Upon a Time" (a show I'm probably going to give up on soon if you must know) than actually going out to actually shop for an outfit. And oh yeah, there's that small matter of IT'S LIKE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING NOW WITHOUT MONUMENTAL EFFORT.

Sigh...

But I share anyway...

I could go a number of ways with new baby outfit. There is the classic French "I could have been royalty" baby looks from high-end baby retailer Jacadi. Not cheap and entirely not practical. I mean, what baby really need a pea coat... really. But soooo pretty. I could see the top Velour Jumpsuit working out though.

And then I could go hipster-style. Archer's take-home outfit was from Mini Mioche, one of my favourite places for baby clothes and right now they've got these great zippy onesies that would be oh so comfy and I think I would use a lot after. But alas, they appear to be sold out of the sizes and colours I need right now.

 I think I would settle on options from the Dwell Studio layette (a word I didn't really know before I had Archer) collection.

Practical, comfortable, and most of all, adorable.

Hmmm... wonder if Dwell Studio can rush a shipment by next Wednesday.
