I found lots of yellow, apricot, pale green, and white clothes at our goodwill in the 0-3 mos size. It was an inexpensive way to buy enough clothes to take to India, and when we got home, I bought more gender-appropriate stuff. (However, I thought those colors were really cute on an infant, particularly one with SE Asian coloring.) They grow out of the infant clothing sizes so quickly; you don't really need a lot in any one size. We did our nursery in apricot and pale green, but you could go with one of those colors and then add in blue or pink accents when you get home -- apricot/blue, apricot/pink, green/blue, green/pink are all nice combinations.<br />Congratulations on reaching the 15 week mark! Wishing you an uneventful rest of your pregnancy.Stephaniekbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117260465061181392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807363641514142579.post-9993722406385787322012-08-27T12:49:38.701-04:002012-08-27T12:49:38.701-04:00Oh that's exciting that we are so close in pre...Oh that's exciting that we are so close in pregnancy dates! Glad to hear I'm not the only one frustrated by not knowing the baby's gender. Seems the frustration hits at around 16 weeks as the reality of pregnancy sets in but you can't fully visualise what it will be like without this gender knowledge. Oh well. :) c'est la vie!<br /> Hadn't thought of yellow, I like mint green that was my bed sheet colour - and yellow too actually when I was younger. Perhaps we will have white to start then when we return to the UK with a 3-6 month old then we can get some or my parents can sort it for us before we are back. Glad to hear others are tempted by baby clothes this early on, hubby thought I was being premature in decorative bits i got! I don't like the placenta bear yuk! When's your next scan?

Keep working through it.

Did someone walk up to a groggy new mom and say, "Excuse me ma'm, can we have your placenta since you won't be needing it anymore? We'd like to make a teddy to scare the children" Yikes!! Beyond the icky teddy - I totally agree with the yellow clothing and bedding. I have decided to buy a bunch of white things and just write ironic quotes and quips on them in fabric marker ;-) Good Luck with your "in between" time.
