So DD decided to make her appearance 5 weeks early, before I was able to have 3 of my 4 baby showers. Good thing we were able to return a lot of stuff so we could use our store credit because there were a lot of things we still needed. We've almost settled into a routine. I was also able to get my first 2 weeks after my leave as work at home time which will be very useful. Since DD was early, we aren't allowed to take her out or have many visitors so our spending this month has actually been way down.
Shortly before, DH started a third job giving speech lessons to a local woman. This has been earning him an additional $50 a week. The extra cash is nice.
I'm hoping by the time I return from leave I will have my data and be able to start working on my dissertation.
DH has started working on his APLE repayment paperwork. There might be a hitch, but hopefully everything will work out.

@baselle - We are getting a little less sleep than we might due to having to simultaneously breastfeed, pump, and bottlefeed since she is so young. Still, I'm getting a decent amount of sleep by staying in bed around 14 hours a day. Of course I'm writing this during a 3am feeding/pumping.
