Considering Baby G&D is due January 4th, it’s a pretty safe bet that we’re going to have a little Capricorn on our hands (Capricorns are mid-December to mid-January babies). I’m a little bit ashamed to say I wasn’t even aware what our daughter’s zodiac would be until I received this fortuitous gift from my friend Beth:
She came across this very surprising onesie while shopping for her daughter in Baby Gap. It was laying on a table of toddler clothes, completely out of place. She picked it up and noticed the dates for the zodiac and thought, “Oh, what a coincidence. That’s when Dusty’s baby is due.”
And then she noticed the small Capricorn description underneath the little goat applique and knew this unexpected discovery would be the perfect gift for any child of mine:
loves to organize
Can you believe it?? I know I couldn’t! Prior to giving me the gift she showed it to our friend Jill whose immediate reaction was, “Are we sure Dusty’s not a Capricorn?”
What a crazy coincidence!
Thanks again for such a wonderful gift Beth! You know I’m not much for hanging onto things past their use–but this one’s a keeper for sure!
Way too cute! I’ve seen those in the store.
Love the “born ambitious, loves to organize”! Is G prepared for two organizers in the house? lol
We got the one for our Taurus daughter. It, too, is spot on!
That is so cute!
that is too darn cute!
As fellow badger fans, I think your little girl needs the onesie that my little one has on in this first picture. We live in MN now so most people don’t get it, but I thought you would appreciate it!

how very serendipitous!
That is too cute!! I am not a capricorn either but I was born to organize!!!
Love those onesies – almost enough to get knocked up, but by then they wouldn’t be selling them anyway.
But I have to warn you – add stubborn as an ox to that description. We’re go getters and organized, but we are some of the most stuck in our ways people you’ll ever meet. Enjoy, my parents had a fabulous time with me :).
These are so fun! I got one for you good friend the day I found out she was pregnant.
Cute cute!! As a capricorn, I can attest that it’s true! Baby G&D should come on the 3rd! š just sayin’!
haha, that should be in YOUR size! š i bought my lil guy a capricorn one last year as he was *scheduled* to be delivered on dec 22…he didn’t follow any schedules though and came a week earlier, making him a sagittarius. by then all the sag onesines were gone.
That’s so cute and so funny!!
Perfect!
I’m a Capricorn
So just imagine a little me running around. You were able to handle me for that year, your little one should be a breeze and amazingly wonderful too. Can’t wait to meet her!
So cute! My best friend is due in Feb, so I got her the Aquarius one! I’m pretty sure it’s even organic cotton!
So cute, I love the shade of green too! I’m no capricon but I sure love to organize!
I gotta say, I love capricorns! I married a capricorn, have only dated capricorn, and most my friends are capricorns. I kind of wish I was capricorn. But alas I am a gemini…
yay for caps! maybe you’ll be lucky and she’ll be the first or last baby of the year – I was the last baby born on the new year in my hospital and they gave my parents a bottle of champagne in honor of it.
I have a totally unrelated question – I have a few friends/family members that are having baby girls soon and I cannot think of a good gift for them, any suggestions??
We can’t afford anything expensive, but I’d love something unique and you have great taste.
That is so cute, but wait till she’s a teen, I can only hope that she’s an organizer!! Yikes~~somehow my daughter started organized (so unlike me) and now, unfortunatley, the older–the more unorganized. Maybe I didn’t “train” her well, LOL. I think you need to start a hope chest, something to pass onto your daughter on her wedding day (like when she’s 40 something) and include special items like this onsie!! I have one for my daughter with a special baby blanket and other favorites–Baby’s first Christmas ornament and stuff like that. In my son’s I have things that are special as well, only things that would be good to hand down to a daughter-in-law.
Ooooooo, that is scary. Awesome but scary.
Thanks for your comments everyone!
@Emily–Oh my goodness, that Badger onesie is too cute!
@Emily–Uh-oh. Thanks for the warning. Although I think you turned out pretty fantastic, so I’m not too worried!
@Gin–LOL, good point! š
@Aevan Arts–I’m a big fan of Etsy so I recommend buying something handmade from there for baby gifts. You’ll support handmade products, and you’ll find something unique that no other gift-giver will be giving! I love the swaddle blankets from my friend Steph’s shop Mada’s Place Baby (www.etsy.com/shop/madasplacebaby) and have recently given them away as baby gifts to friends and neighbors. And although they’re not advertised, she can also make the popular “taggie” blankies which are a hit with the kids. My friend Kent makes the cutest personalized oneseis that I just love! I recently bought one for our daugther and for our neighbors who just had a little girl. You can check her out at http://www.peachykeendesigns.com. Hope that helps, and have fun shopping!
thanks for the suggestions!! I’ll check them out
LOVE this onesie!! I was totally going to buy one for my little one, but the cut off is right on my due date. So my child has a chance to be an Aries or a Taurus, hmm! Guess I’ll have to wait :o)
