Peg,
The intense need for sleep and morning sickness (all day) is totally normal...and a good sign! (don't you just want to slap me? :)
Rest as much as you need to. I use to fall asleep mid sentence, literally. Try taking naps before dinner if you can. And make sure you sre drinking lots of water.
As far as the tummy stuff, there are so many tried and true gimmicks. Ginger snaps and soda crackers before you even get out of bed. Eat a few, lay there, then get up. You might also switch your prenatal vitamins to bedtime. They often make you feel sick. I lived on string cheese, saltines and 7-up with my second kid. My best friend still laughs about that.
I also highly recommend Cream of Wheat.
No worries about posting much. Just let us know how things are occasionally. Please read this baby Babar books now, so he/she will like elephants and reading when they are older.
Hugs from Babble-Auntie Daisy
