Is it inappropriate for me to blog about nursing apparel? I know that nursing makes some people uncomfortable, but I've blogged about breastfeeding in the past and no one has complained. I'm not sure where the line is so I'll apologize in advance to those who are offended by this discussion and if I get complaints I'll remove this blog. I hope I won't have to though because I really need some advice from other nursing mothers. 

Here's my situation. I have purchased 3 nursing tops and one pair of nursing pajamas. I don't want to go overboard because I don't have a clue what size I'll be once the baby is born. I have some button down tops that I know will work too that I wore in early/mid pregnancy. The real issue I have is purchasing nursing bras. As if my boobs haven't swelled up enough now I understand that they'll get even bigger once my milk comes in. If this is the case how do I buy a nursing bra? I would like to try to buy at least 2 before baby comes so I'm not trying to pack up a new born and run to the store in my first few days home or worse guessing at a size and buying on line. Is buying early going to be okay? Do you have any tips that could help me?

My due date is November 12th and the doctor said I'm pretty much ready to go whenever baby decides she wants to make her appearance so time is of the essence. Thank you for your advice in advance.
