Any other big busted mommies out there that wear their babies?

Hehehehe, I totally understand your concern as he is soooo little still, but try it a bit and you will see it is OK. A wrap or a MT would work, I think. I've seen many moms with tiny newborns on their busty chest - It does look cozy! (Take a look at one of the Baby Wearing groups or forums online and you will see tons of examlpes!)
Once your baby is bigger and has head control, you can use a wrap or a Mei Tai and do a back carry and put the straps around your shoulders 'back pack style'. Your chest is then free of baby and straps. That is how I wear my son all the time!

I used the Baby Bjorn for both kids but with the newest addition I purchased an Ergo from Ebay since baby # 2 is so much bigger; I need the back support as our son is 3 months and 18lbs !
