Oh boy, do I need some help with a head gasket...

I think the head gasket on my 91CDT just went out. It has been seeping oil under the #4 port for a few years. I just rebuilt the turbo, and fixed up the cooling system because the car had run hot for a couple of years or so.
Now, oil is pouring out there, and some coolant seems to have gotten into the oil system. There is a new bit of sludge on the bottom of the dipstick. I lost a QUART in like 15 miles, and lost a little coolant.
The car still runs smooth, maybe a little rough at startup but not bad at all. Also runs hotter than it should at highway speeds, but not in traffic. No smoke out the tail pipe.
Here's the rub: We just had our first baby yesterday (4lb, 10oz Rosemary Louise) and I hafta do this myself. Really don't want a payment, need the $ for Rosemary, not a mechanic.
Can you all help with some instructions, tips, anything at all?
Thanks in advance.
