Baby due in July, do I sound like I have the right clothes?

Hi I live in IL (northern, 15 min from WI border actually) and I had my son on July 17 and he weighed 6lbs and 7 ounces. He fit into newborn stuff for the first month or so and by the time September came around he was in 0-3mo. I think it sounds perfect for what you have. I would recommend maybe like 3 pairs of little shorts for him. I know we had a couple pretty hot days here and I was glad I had shorts for my son. When I brought him home he was in a onesie and shorts set with a receiving blanket, it was 87 and sunny that day but very humid. Also I still put socks on my son, even in the summer because I was always afraid of his feet getting cold. I would always carry some pants and a little jacket with you too because the one thing with having a summer baby is having it so hot outside and chilly inside from air conditioning. You may need more for 3-6 months but I think you're sitting pretty well so far. Good luck, you're going to LOVE having a summer baby. It was much easier because by the time the weather breaks and gets super cold (and us here in the midwest know how that is, we can have all 4 seasons in one week) the baby is already older and not as "fragile" as far as getting sick. I always carried variety of clothing for my son between summer and fall since the weather can be unpredictable. But in winter it's pretty much a given they'll have to be bundled up. Also my son always sweated with the newborn hats on when we first brought him home, they say to keep it on for at least the first month but I only put it on him at night for about 2 weeks because he was a little sweat box!! :)
