having a baby clothes meltdown HELP

Okay im 37 weeks FTM as of right now my baby weighs 7 lbs.  Dont get me wrong I have bought alot of baby clothes but im just clueless!  I mostly have bought 0-3 and more 3 month than "newborn" and what will my baby girl need most of?  What about the outfit for the hospital? Some newborn outfits look so tiny and I wonder will she even fit in them?

My daughter was estimated over 8lbs two weeks before she was born. She was born at 6lbs 10oz and most newborn stuff was big on her. Lol sometimes the scans are wrong. So hard to tell a 3D person from a 2D picture. Anyway dont stress. Bring a nb 0-3 and 3 month outfit if you want. As far as what you need at home, the store isn't to far away, you can always get more if needed.

My son was 7 lbs 12 oz and wore nb for quite a while and of course 0-3 for a while. You'll be fine. I'm hoping this baby doesn't come out huge, I was given so many nb clothes.

0-3months is just fine. Your baby may  not need newborn. So his going home outfit would be one of the 0-3! :)

You don't have to bother with the nb sizes.  Most babies outgrow them without a week. 0-3 will be fine. Maybe a little big for a couple of days but baby will be swaddled anyway so no big deal :)
