Playing a Game
by Sariah S. Wilson
First, I would like to start off by saying that I think the third trimester is way too late to still be throwing up.
Second, I've been thinking all day about a potential blog idea and came up with nothing. Fortunately I have this document in Word with some blog topics - among them things I've swiped from other blogs.
I don't know where I picked this particular game, and yes, this is a cop out on my part, although it did require some brain function:
Rules: Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following...They MUST be real places, names, things...NOTHING made up! If you can't think of anything, skip it. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question.

3. Street Name: Sandpiper Lane
4. Color: Salmon
5. Animal: Seal
6. Vehicle: Subaru

I'll do it on Friday, Sariah, but I suspect this game is easier if your name starts with S instead of, say, J or K.
I stole this and put it on my blog (theif! That's another thing that starts with T! :) But I gave you credit. I'll also answer here in case you're too tired to hunt it down.

And now I'll reply to the sick thing -- I'm so sorry you feel this lousy, Sariah. I have known people who were still throwing up with morning sickness as they went into labor. Yeah, I know -- that's really comforting. But you're not alone! Just be sure to eat what actually sounds good to you and don't try to poke things down there that don't.
Yeah, unfortunately I am one of those people. With my oldest I remember dry heaving while they were doing the C-section - which is not easy to do since you need that middle part of you in order to throw up.
Unfortunately, nothing sounds good. Ever.
But it's all good - I wanted this. I begged for it for years. I know I shouldn't complain because I've been given this tremendous blessing, but I am admittedly a wimp. :)
I played, http://www.josikilpack.blogspot.com and it is harder with a J but thank goodness for the internet
I'm sure you've tried all these things, Sariah, but Ginger--cookies, tablets, teas. Peppermint--candies, teas, aromatherapy candles. Those Sea-band things worked for me as well. I'm so sorry you're feeling so icky and it's always hard to be grateful when you feel like crap--so don't beat yourself up about it. good luck.
