[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the suggestions. Even though thesis my second I seem to be experiencing some amnesia (it has been 5.5 years!) 
Do you swaddle baby when you take then outside as well? I have a k'tan carrier I was going to use the first couple months. My last child I barely left the house plus it was the heat of summer. This child will have to come with Me to drop older dd off at school since DH only has a week off. The walk is about twenty minutes. I want to make sure he or she will be dressed ok for the cold weather when wearing her in the k'tan. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks again. [/quote]

DD was born in January, and she spent the first three months of her life in the warm microfleece footed PJs from Carters.  Like this (thought I prefered the zip-up style instead of the snaps):  http://www.carters.com/carters/Microfleece-Snap-Up-Sleep-Play/V_115-959,default,pd.html?cgid=carters-baby-neutral-one-pieces

Most days she also wore a short-sleeved side-snap Carters t-shirt underneath for an extra layer.  (Easier to get on and change than a onesie, in my opinion, and the short sleeves are MUCH easier to get on than the long-sleeves.)  Like this:  http://www.carters.com/carters/Short-Sleeve-Side-Snap-5-Pack-Tees/V_111-830,default,pd.html?cgid=carters-baby-neutral-bodysuits

She was 7 lbs, 6 oz and wore Carters NB size for the first month or so.  Then she moved to the 3 month size until about 4 months.  (In retrospect, I wish I had bought more NB to have on hand because she spit up a lot!)

When we went out, she was in her carseat, either snapped in to the base in the car or in the snap-n-go stroller.  I never put an extra layer of clothes on her -- just added a warm, soft blanket on top, plus an inexpensive cotten hat.  (Thinking back, I think she often wore the hats inside, too.)

I got most things at the Carters store in Seven Corners, including a bunch of green/yellow/brown ones.  They run great sales and always have additional coupons you can find on-line. Or you can buy everything on-line at carters.com and then return what you don't want to the store at your convenience (their return policy is wonderful.)

As for swaddling, YES, she was swadded quite a bit the first two months.  Almost always when she napped/slept, and even some of the time when she was awake.  It really, really soothed her.  I often rocked her or cuddled her on my lap in her swaddle when she got fussy, and I nursed her that way, too.  She usually just wore a hat and a side-snap t-shirt underneath, sometimes lighter footie pajamas (least expensive source -- Gerber multipacks from Buy Buy Baby with a $5 off $15 coupon!)
