So at my check-up this morning, I was seen by the Nurse Practitioner. She asked how I've been feeling, etc. I told her that the nausea has come back full force (yes, it's true; I feel like I'm in the midst of first trimester all over again), and could she recommend anything? She replied that the best thing to take had a tendency to turn people into zombies, and they don't like giving it to women who are still working (yeah, like it's safer to be a stay-at-home mom watching a 2-yr-old, and feeling like a zombie?!!). She asked if I can just deal with it. I said, "Yes, I just don't feel like eating anything". And she replied, "It's okay, you don't have to eat; your baby will be fine and still grow".
I guess my maternal instincts just haven't kicked in yet, because I was sitting there thinking, 'It's not the baby I'm worried about; it's ME!'

That stupid. You should have demanded a doctor! Have you ever tried rubbing peppermint oil on your belly? I know it sounds hokey and you probably don't need another suggestion...but it really worked with my pregnancy nausea. Let me know if you're interested I have some:)
Keep up the good work, maybe he will just be the most well behaved child ever to walk the earth!!
I love you. it was so good to talk to you the other day. I hope today wasn't so painful. :o)
