Congratulatoins. I'm glad to hear that you're excited about it!
Well my baby's 8 months (on the 18th) so it wasn't that long ago... I lucked out in that Hubby likes to cook so he'd fix meals and I could go in the other room and get away from food smells.
The motion sickness bands that they make for traveling helped a little (I found them at shapiro-in the mall). I was also told that dehydration will aggrivate morning sickness so keep up with your fluids.
I you haven't already started on them I would suggest pre-natal vitamins. I had problems with pre-natals making me sick and my OB okayed me taking Flintstones chewables... of course you should check with your doctor about that, but I did well with them. She said that they don't have the iron that you need so we just kept any eye out for anemia (which I didn't have problems with either pregnancy). I've never really had problems with morning sickness before but this time around I feel it. My husband has been chucking pre-na. vitamins in my face the entire time and it's actually quite funny. He's so worried. He stopped smoking, drinking and has been working during all his free time on the baby's room with my son.
Sadly, I haven't been able to attend work for the past week because of a family death. On Christmas morning my father went to wake up my mother, and found her dead. She never complained about heart pains, artheritis, or anything. Mama was perfectly healthy....Doctor's told us that she had a heart-attack in her sleep and I'm having a rough time dealing with it. Husband's afraid that all this stress with make me mis-carriage so I haven't gone to work and have just been relaxing as of late.
