Just when you thought Janay’s morning sickness couldn’t get worse, it just did. The sickness has decided not only will it stick around throughout the day, but now it is actually making her lose her crackers.
I’ve tried like heck (yes, heck) to help with her nausea. Every morning I bring seltzer water, cheese stick, crackers, Tums, and her iPhone to her bedside. Sometimes one of these items will help (or at least distract) her, but eventually the sick just comes busting back in.
After 11 and a half weeks of this, Janay is, of course desperate to break the cycle, so I’ve been on the web all morning trying to find what works best. So far, the consensus is that bubbly drinks, crackers, sea bands, lemon scent, and B6 are the best natural ways to reduce the nausea. Lemon scent and B6 are new ones for me, so I’ll be adding them to the regimen.
Speaking of adding to the regimen… the other night, I witnessed an event that I never thought I would see in my life – Janay, elbow deep in fried chicken. Apparently, Baby D is not a vegetarian.
During the past couple of weeks, Janay’s been craving cold, Safeway, fried chicken (it has to be Safeway). And after 20 some years of Janay living her life as a vegetarian, it’s incredibly strange to see her happily devouring a piece of fried chicken.
This might sound totally cheeseball, but her willingness to go beyond her personal beliefs for the sake of our child, makes her even more beautiful to me… I know, right? Pure cheese.

I hate to tell you this, but I do have a friend that had morning sickness throughout her whole pregnancy! Yikes, I know not what you wanted to hear. I am soooo…hoping that doesn’t happen and you guys are in my thoughts daily on how I can help with this clear out here. LOL
It sounds like you are doing all the right stuff in helping her out, keep it up! Oh and on the whole Janay being arm deep in chicken, well the only thing that I can tell you is the baby wants what the baby wants! ROFL so totally what every women goes through. My wants where as following: chips, cookie dough, chocolate covered oreo’s & last but not least top ramen with salmon! ROFLMAO I know really weird huh! I totally knew I was preggers when I craved something that odd. XD
Again, hang in there! I hope that Janay somehow gets over this ASAP! Love you guys. kisses & hugs
