I am due in May and I wanted to look for an outfit for our little boy. I have NO CLUE what kind of clothes newborns wear in May since it isnt cold, but it isnt hot!! Help?? Suggestions??
Short sleeved onesies or an outfit along those lines. You can layer if it's cool and they are perfect when it's hot. You have plenty of time though and the weather here is as predictible as the lottery. My LO was born May 31 and she went home in a little sun dress (it was almost June, so it was already getting hot).
I agree with PP - short sleeved onesies with pants and you could bring a light jacket for her just in case. The weather here is terribly unpredictable. Carter was born in the middle July and we ended up taking him home in a lightweight sleeper. It was chilly for July the day that we brought him home.
Charlotte was born in May and I had a lot of onesies (short sleeved), the stretchy cotton pull on pants that match the onesies (Carter's has a lot of these onesie/pants combos), cotton sleepers and socks for in the house (we always keep it cool in our house). Also cotton receiving blankets (the Gerber waffle weave ones are my fave) to throw over her when it was chilly outside and to swaddle.

Ellie was born April 27 and for the first month, I think she mostly wore long-sleeved sleepers or long-sleeved onesies and pants. It was actually really chilly the day we took her home. Newborns can't regulate their body temperatures yet, so they say to dress them one layer warmer than you're dressed.
E was born May 3rd. We had long sleeve lighter onesies in size NB, because he wasn't in them for long. Besides we kept him bundled up because we had the AC on. For the 0-3 size we got more short sleeved stuff since that lasts a little longer.

Congrat and GL with the rest of your pregnancy.
