And theoretically we'd need 400-500 more calories per day to maintain (because of the nursing). So approaching 2800 calories per day... THAT seems high?!

That's right, the nursing should put you in an automatic deficit when you calculate your maintenance.
Keep in mind too, that you do not want to maintain your weight. That is what you would need to keep that extra baby weight around...which I am pretty sure you don't want!
Like I said though it is a starting point...try it for a week or two and adjust as necessary.
