Thanks! I also checked ebates - they're offering 1% cash back at BRU - it's not much, but every little bit counts, right?

DOn't forget to make sure that you insurance doesn't cover a pump. Mine does and so does a lot of other policies.

Yes I found out on Friday that mine does!

I could be wrong, but I thought it a provision of Obamacare required insurance coverage? Though I've looked on my insurer's website and can't find any information about it. I guess I am going to have to call to figure it out.

Mine does cover a pump but not until after the birth. I have a friend who couldn't file until after her birth and the electric pumps were back ordered so she had to use a manual pump for a while:/

Well, it really depends. I did not pump from day one with my first. I actually only pumped about two months or so after. I think you need to consider your needs. I knew we weren't leaving him and I did not want to bother if I was not going to have him bottle fed. 

My insurance lets you order the month before your due date.
