I really hate this, I hate feeling sick all the time, last night I kept asking Chris why on earth women put themselves through this, only to shove a needy 9lb watermelon out of their loins. *sigh* I know it is an awful attitude to have, but I’m sick of being so dependent on Chris.
Chris, by the way, is wonderful. He has cooked, cleaned, done the laundry, and pretty much waited on my every whim since the nausea started getting really bad. He even made me brownies last night.
Seriously, this better get better by the end of this trimester.

OOOH! I know how you feel! I felt horrible depending on my husband through my pregnancy and the first few months after the baby was born… I was afraid I’d never feel like doing things on my own again… but then I did. Take advantage of his willingness and love, you’re doing more than it seems!
I found that citrus really helped my morning sickness. (I threw up EVERY SINGLE DAY of my pregnancy) When I wasn’t throwing up I was nauseous. Sucking on lemon drops (or even smelling lemon scented hand soap) really took the edge off.
Also, “sea bands” (I found them in the pharmacy at Target) worn on pressure points on my wrists helped a ton as well.
I hope you’re feeling better soon!
I’m going to have to look into those sea bands. I’ve heard about them elsewhere too. I have lemondrops but I’m getting seriously sick of them, same with Jolly Ranchers.
