It has been a while since I set one of these up... But when I did this there wasn't a need to run BGP between the edge routers. The advertised networks should propagate through OSPF.
I'm sure you have already taken care of this, but make sure your upstream providers will allow you to advertise your new IP space. If they are a good upstream provider they should be using some filtering and will need to specifically allow this IP range from your ASN. Like I said it has been a while, but go ahead and setup filters going both ways for all of the internal IP ranges. I had Cox trying to send me some internal IPs at one time. If we had been using those IPs internally it would have caused a mess.
