For both Olivia and Charlie I had the option of using hospital clothes, but they were always gowns rather than Bonds suits, so I used our own. I remember having the same dilema over sizes too!

I simply preferred having our own clothes ready, there and waiting, so I didn't have to ask for more ever......both times after giving birth I just got so cosy in my room with my new babe, I just wanted to be by ourselves with minimal contact with nurses etc! (Call me odd, LOL).

That said, between baby clothes for a week and my clothes for a week, I ended up having a HUGE bag to take into hospital with me both times!

I ended up taking a selection of 000 and 0000 Wondersuits (shortie thin ones for Olivia since she was born into a Darwin hot and humid season, but cosy long enclosed ones for Charlie who was born in an Adelaide winter).

Even though I knew both times what their gender was, I still had mostly white.

They didn't have a special "going home" outfit as such though.....just whatever Bonds suit came to hand!
