I tried looking at Walmart and another store last week but none had anything that seemed they would fit Zoë (too bit and all were wayyyyyy too long). I saw newborn size but no premie size, though I'm sure stores do carry that size. Since Zoë's just under 4 pounds right now I can only assume she'll be needing premie. If I find that should I just wash it and hope that'll make enough of a difference? (And where else could you think to find them, if my Walmart didn't even have!?)

Ha, now I can get on my Walmart sucks soapbox. I live in a small town with nowhere else to shop but Walmart, so I'm very familiar with the store. They do carry preemie sizes. For some reason though, they only get about 3 or 4 preemie garments in the entire store, maybe there's a rule. Once those are sold, much like many of the items they carry, they won't get more for weeks or even months. I once waited six weeks for the kind of plastic hangers I like to be instock. I had a friend who had a preemie skin baby and all anybody could find at Walmart was one package of blue and white preemie onsies. The poor little girl had two changes of clothes for the first week of her life. She finally filled out a little bit and could kind of fit in newborn sized, but even they hung off of her.
