Let’s get one thing out of the way quickly, it must suck to have morning sickness. One it isn’t always in the morning. Two, it lasts for quite a while. Good thing Aya isn't feeling as queasy anymore.
Now, on to the real story...for those that will never get morning sickness. When it first happened it is the strangest thing. You would be talking to Aya in a normal conversation. Nothing is wrong and then *BLAM* gag. Gag again (kinda like listening to Brian on the basketball court). It’s like watching someone that laughs silently. The gag noise is made and then nothing. Just random out of the blue. It’s kinda nasty really...and just straight weird.
Someone said that eating saltine crackers BEFORE you get out of bed in the morning helps. Well, it might help Aya but it doesn’t help me. Have you ever heard someone eat crackers in bed??? First thing you hear at 4:30 am.

Hey Miles - the need to pee will subside for a little while and then it gets really bad at the end of the third trimester. I hate to break it to you but unless Aya plans to breastfeed, baby needs to be fed every three hours around the clock in the beginning and unless you're really lucky babies don'tsleep through the night for sometime. Learn to take power naps =).
i figure i just won't sleep. napping isn't so hot for me...i have gotten used to little sleep. i figure once the baby is born my schedule will pretty much be the same. =(
you're freakin harsh dude....you try carrying for 9 months and see how YOU feel!!!!!!!
RE-SPECT DUDE! :)
spoken like a true ANONYMOUS husband/bf who is whipped by their g/f.
my wife new the job was dangerous when she took it. =)
I agree with anon. Right now you have it pretty easy. Later third trimester, you and Ayako could be waking up every hour.
Other things that really helped for nausea:
During the day try not to eat and drink at the same time.
Eat frequent bland small meals, either high protein or carb but not together.
Don't brush teeth right after eating.
Suck on sour hard candy.
Ginger may also help.
melissa-
thanks for the suggestions. luckily aya is feeling better. aya eats smaller meals and no water with our meals. we did that as part of our diet anyway.
are you ready? aren't you due any day now?
That's good to hear. I was worried that Aya was going to be one of those women who have morning sickness the whole time.
Baby can be born at any time. My cervix is effacing and dilating, but so far nothing else has happened. The OB did say that he's already over 7 lbs, so I hope that he doesn't decide to stay in too much longer.
