Makayla was spitting up about 2-4 oz at a time. They actually had me collect it so they had a decent idea of the amounts. As for the frequency, it was after every feeding and she was feeding all the time. If you are worried about Lily, ask your pediatrician.

DH has had to take Makayla out side for car rides just so I could sleep. Now I am loving the sleep she is giving me. I am praying it will continue. As for the vaccines, Makayla had 4 shots and 1 oral. They were harder on me than her. She did get a fever, but we had no way of knowing if her fussiness was from the shots or her GERD at that point.
Colleen - Wow! He is rolling already. It won;t be long before he is tearing up the rugs! I hope he lets you sleep again!
Tasha - I do not worry about the position as much because my oldest was a tummy baby. In fact that was the expected position back then. Makayla sleeps on her tummy sometimes, but seems to like laying on her side. I think she just goes with whatever keeps her stomach from hurting. I am glad to hear you are planning Halloween already. I am going to be starting our costumes soon because the boys want new ones this year. It normally takes me at least 2 weeks per costume for them. We'll see how long it takes with me at home!
