Jake, you have all the symptoms required. It's kind of like strep throat: If your throat hurts like hell and it's real red and it doesn't go away, you probably have strep. Unfortunately, there are no confirming tests for a bad head gasket (even a compression test isn't conclusive in cases involving water leaking into a cylinder), but if coolant is mysteriously disappearing and your engine misses when it's started after sitting for some time, you have the symptoms of a leaking head gasket. The kiss of death is hard cranking, but don't wait for that symptom to appear. Try Bar's Leaks. I've also stopped head gasket water leaks by over-torquing the head bolts, but that's risky. Polite society frowns on it.
