Cooling Off

This past week has finally given us relief from the heat, hovering in the 70's. It even rained twice, and at night it's been cool enough for me to put Eva to bed in long pajama pants. During the day, Eva's summer clothes are often a bit too cool, so I'll bring a jacket. I hesitate to start buying her fall clothes because August and September are usually our hottest months, and who knows what size Eva will be in October.

August has barely started, but already it's "Back to School" season in the stores, with all the fall fashions out in fall force. When I was a kid I hated that, because it only reminded me that summer vacation was nearly over. I see a lot of styles that I like for myself, too, but for some reason I hesitate to buy any non-nursing tops. Although Eva's daytime feedings are reduced only to naptimes (and sometimes not even then, if she falls asleep in her car seat), I'm still in the habit of wearing nursing tops all day. I guess it doesn't make sense because the purpose of a nursing top is to be discreet in public; but if you only nurse occasionally at home, what does it matter? I guess the real reason I'm avoiding buying clothes is because I will probably be pregnant again in the near future, and then I'll have to focus on maternity clothes again. I hate spending money on clothes I'm not sure I'll be able to wear.
