If they're taking good care of you that's all that matters.

BTW, Congratulations on the new addition to your family, Jim.  Hope she's
nice and healthy.

Thanks!  She's a beautiful, mellow baby, but she's having one helluva 
time with either reflux, pyloric stenosis, or allergy, and as a result, 
she's fussy as hell after eating, and tends to vomit her food up on a 
regular basis.  We're going to the doc tomorrow.  (Today's switch to a 
soy-based formula seems to be helping a lot, knock on wood, so I'm in 
hope that it's an allergy to her other formula.)

Oh, sorry to hear she's uncomfortable.  Have you tried nature's "formula?"
Sometimes it's the best.

Also, babies often have trouble with reflux in the first few months.  If you
can keep her upright during and immediately after feeding that may help
somewhat.

My first was colicky and nothing made him sleep through a single night for
quite a while.  He's a bit past that these days -- graduated from college a
while back.  My younger "baby" is studying engineering.  Now we're starting
to think about having another...  :^)

We can't.  My wife is on a medication that has unknown and potentially 
undesirable side effects on the infant.  However, I'm starting to think 
the problem may not be reflux/ps/etc., but simply overfeeding.  This is 
because Chloe did really well this morning on the switch to soy formula, 
but we fed her in two 2-ounce sessions a half our or so apart.  Around
lunchtime, she took almost 4 ounces in one feeding, and all hell broke 
loose again.  4 ounces is considered "too much" for a newborn of her 
size, but the pediatricians in the hospital recommended we let her eat 
as much as she could manage.  I'm thinking she may not be "managing" so 
well.

Sounds about right.  It's been a long time for me, though, so I don't really
recall the details.  One thing I did learn is that, in spite of parents'
anxiety, most babies seem to keep down as much as they need.

Anyway, hope she gets past it soon.

   I was a security supervisor here for awhile and yes stay away from ADT!
   Be sure to negotiate your "false alarm" charges. The first few should be on
them, also get it in writing that on intruder alarms, the police will be sent
first instead of a security guard driving from across town.
   Many times I responded to alarms having to obey all traffic regs. and taking
up to 25 minutes to get there only to call the police if it looked  like it WAS
a burglary.
   I repeat WAS because by then the intruder was always gone. (think
rape/kidnap)
   Also, on fire alarms the fire dept. should respond immediately instead of
the alarm co. calling you to try to get an access code! You could be dead of
smoke inhalation by then.
