dooney, I'm so sorry about your husband's job. I hope he finds something else very soon.
To everyone who hasn't yet had your babes, I hope things go quickly and easily for you all!!! I love reading the birth announcements.
Hang in there.

We're doing well here. Eowyn is very laid back thus far. We're having some spit up issues and I suspect there might be some reflux going on but adjusting my hold and some diet issues seem to be helping a little. We went in for a repeat PKU last week and I mentioned to the ped that she'd been spitting up bright yellow at one point. Sure enough, on cue, she did it and it was bright yellow -- like Curious George yellow. The ped (who is not an alarmist at all) insisted that we take her to the children's ER for a barium test because it was Friday afternoon and he didn't think it could wait out the weekend. So I drove her down there for the test, which she (little trooper) tolerated very well and barely even fussed during.
I was a wreck though and cried the whole time. In my defense it was one week post partum and I'm still rather emotional. I was so scared. The nurse and doctor both were awesome and very kind.
And everything ended up being totally fine, thank goodness. I think the yellow color from my milk was from some cheese I'd eaten (Cracker Barrel brand -- I know -- not great, but I was hungry and my husband did the grocery shopping this week), with annato that caused the freakish coloring. They just had to rule out any blockages in her gut, as apparently yellow spit up can indicate bile or something.
Anyway it was scary but thankfully turned out okay.
She tends to be awake from 12 to 2am at night but aside from that is sleeping most of the time. Which is not at all what we're used to. Guinevere has never been a great sleeper. So I really hope this sticks.
