Comment on Morning Sickness – bleh! by Kay

Tasha,
Believe me when I say that I totally understand and relate to your misery. With each of my babies, the morning sickness seemed to get a little worse, for some reason, and it was never over at week 12. All three of them took me well into my second trimester before letting my stomach settle.

With baby #3, I actually took a medication (can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head, since my baby is now 5!) and that seemed to help, although it did make me sleep a lot. If your stomach doesn’t settle down, you might talk with your caregiver about that.

Good luck to you – and here’s hoping that the sickness gets milder and you start to feel better SOON!

From Sara: “I used to have a small desk area and would hang my calendar and to do list on the wall above it.”

I personally have also posted stuff on the fridge so that everyone sees it multiple times a day. I would think that would be the most important thing – hang it where it can be seen, and therefore can remind you of what needs to be done. I have a thousand little lists here and there, but if I don’t have it somewhere central where I’m guaranteed to see it, it will never get done. Just my two cents…

Yip, I used baby yogurt – probably plain or vanilla to start with. I think I probably used organic, too, since it’s easier on baby’s belly.

Anyone know how I can get vaseline out of the eye sockets of my daughter’s doll? One of them now has to be manually opened and closed!!!!! I’d hate to think how much is in there…….would the lemon juice work do you think, or do I risk ruining the eye completely??
