If you have some already take them just in case but if not don't worry about buying them most babies will only wear newborn for about 2-3 weeks anyway newborn will fit just  right :)

Those ultrasounds can be off by a couple pounds.
My answer would be no. Maybe he can fit into newborn for a couple weeks.
