Morning (all freakin' day) sickness

So yeah, for the past couple of weeks, Sharaze has not been doing so well. They call it "morning sickness" but that's a lie. It lasts ALL DAY. Man, we tried all kinds of stuff to help ease the nausea. Crackers, ginger, lemons, peppermint, Emetrol, etc.... We even made these little bands to go over her wrists to apply pressure to a particular point. It's based off the idea of Sea Bands.
Took some ribbon, sewed some pennies into it, and tied them around her tiny wrists. (I know it sounds cheap, but I'm not paying $10 for wrists bands with a plastic button on them.) We were even going on walks around midnight just to get her out in some cool air and hope that the exercise and air would calm things down. That worked out surprisingly well actually.

Thankfully, these past couple of days have been much better for her. I was feeling so very bad for her and felt pretty useless. But she seems to be back to normal and we're praying that it sticks this time. So everyone, just keep praying for her continued health and also for the babies!! Speaking of which, I'm working on putting together a little poll on baby names and we'll see what everyone likes. I'll try to get that going in a couple of days so the bickering can begin...
