  This is my first baby to be born in Alaska as well and even even though I already have kids I feel so unprepared cause Alaska weather is so different..

  This is my first pregnancy in Alaska as well, but what I have learned from the locals is that baby jackets are expensive and they grow out of them quickly.  So when baby is young wrap they a couple times in heavy blankets, or tuck them inside your jacket in a baby carrier/sling.  Make sure they have a hat, and that their face is covered and out of the wind.  My baby is due in early early spring so this is what I plan on doing too.  Carrying them close is much warmer than putting them in a stroller or car seat to carry around  : )

  buntings are where it's at (onsie snow suit thingys- i used it daily with my first)-- if you like to be outside hiking or using the front pack.  otherwise, lots of blankets and you'll be fine!
