My D was born here in Seattle area at the end of August. When I went in the hospital it was summer, but by the time I came home (C-section), it was fall! I know it’s summer, but as you know, we still get cool at night and some days too!

Thanks for your suggestions, sseamom, re parenting help. Actually, this young mom is just about as prepared and ready as any young woman could be at age 21. She is the second oldest of 11 children and has done tons of care for her siblings, including infants. Her mom and several aunts live nearby, three older teen sisters, cousins (including two with babies), and she has a very supportive husband who is good with babies and is staying home from work for two weeks to help her adjust! If only all young moms had such a stable situation. I think she will be fine, and they have lots of clothes in larger sizes. Just wasn’t prepared for a smaller baby. She was going to send her H out to get the smaller clothes, but I said wait a minute. Let an experienced mom pick these out for you!
