Jenna - I am definitely not an expert as I am an adoptive mom who considered the possibility of nursing my son, but we were matched with only 5 weeks to go, and I wouldn't have been able to ready myself. I don't think that because your milk didn't come in with your first that it won't this time. I would just wait and see! I agree with the other poster that you should contact La Leche League. They are a wealth of info!! If you can't nurse, you can always do what I did. In the early days, would take off my shirt and hold him close to my skin and feed him the bottle that way! The skin to skin contact is very bonding!!! Good luck to you!!!
