Care, I can't believe you are so close! That's really exciting! I have 2 nursing tanks and love them although they give me uniboob which I HATE. They are great for when people are around b/c your stomach doesn't show and that's a good thing in my eyes! I do think the nipple opening is a bit small on mine for putting the pump through, but you may not have to worry about it as much as me.

Patty- I may invest in another sports bra type one. I have one that I've been wearing around the house and it's comfy. I also have a sleep bra that's not too supportive. I had a coworker who sews shorten the straps, but I still don't like to wear it. I HATE wearing a bra to bed, but I suppose I'll get used to it. Are there any sports bra types that you like best? I got mine for $15 at Motherhood. I'm sure it's not the best...

A- Where did you get your tanks? And the pump fits inside as well? Forgive me because I'm totally ignorant of how this all works- but does the tank top hold the pump so you don't have to hold the pump parts on the whole time? I'm totally not prepared to pump. I'm just bringing the pump and all of it's parts to the hospital to have a LC help me!!

BTW- this I know is TMI but I have the HUGEST nipples (think target practice!!), so I'm wondering if the holes may be a problem for me as well!!!

I've been meaning to post these. These are the pictures of the nursery- and my 36 week picture. Two cribs makes it very crowded!

Ca your room looks so cute! I always hated wearing a bra to bed too...but once my milk came in I HAD to...It was so uncomfortable without some support!! btw, my nips are HUGE too!! They were really small before pregnancy. I actually like the ones from Target I got. I dont think the tank holds up the pump, its just that you cannot get any fabric in he way of the pump or you have no suction so if the hole is small then then you cant get the cup around without moving the fabric...did that make sense?

Care, Patty explained the problem with the holes and pumping. Glamour mom is where I got the tanks and there is something by Made by Moms that holds the pump. I just ordered it yesterday but a friend that has twins and pumps HIGHLY recommended it to me and called to make sure I ordered it.

Gotta run--twins are crying.

Thanks ladies!

A- I did get one of the Glamour mom tanks which I know I'll like. I'm also going to check into the one for the pump. Anything to make it easier.

Patty- I'll have to check at Target too. Unfortunately, I've always had large nipples! I'm really afraid to see what I look like when the milk comes in!!!

Dont worry I think my nips are the same size as when I was pregnant...I'll have to ask Julie...yep, once they got big during pregnancy the stayed the same size.
