Morning sickness- I wish

Whoever coined the term"morning sickness" obviously didn't know what they were talking about. Its not morning sickness. Its all day sickness. 24-7 sickness. Round the clock sickness. and on and on and on... Anyone see where I'm going with this?
With J I usually just got sick in the mornings and then was pretty much good to go. I did get sick a lil' in the evenings but not bad. Or else I've blocked it from my memory :) With this baby it is a different story. I'm still sick in the morning but also in the afternoon into late evening. Evening is my worst time. I hate it. Yes I hate being sick but more than that I hate not being there for my family. Evenings are our family time. Since J is in daycare all day evenings are very much cherished in our family. They are the few hours we all have together. Well not lately. Poor D has had to really do a lot more since I'm usually not good for anything in the evenings. D has been just so wonderful. He takes care of dinner, he plays w/ J, he bathes J and everything in b/w. I am so blessed to have him. He hasn't complained not once. He's usually off on Fridays so those days he spends cleaning the house, getting the laundry caught up and taking care of anything else that needs to be done. Seriously I don't know how he does it but I'm so grateful that he does.
I hate that I'm so useless right now but I'm kind of stuck b/w a rock and a hard place. I want to rest and take care of myself and this baby but on the other hand I'm frustrated cause I'm missing out w/ my other baby. As many of you know when I'm pregnant I try very hard to watch everything I eat and drink. I don't drink caffeine and I follow all the guidelines for food. I try to take as little meds as possible and so on and so forth.My wonderful husband also helps keep me in line. He's agreed to go off caffeine w/ me this pregnancy. We'll see how that goes. But anywho bottom line is I really try hard to watch the things I put in my body. Here in lies my second dilemma. I know there are drugs out there for nausea but again if I can help it I try not to take anything. I never took anything w/ J but its a whole new ballgame w/ this one. Well last week I talked w/ D and told him that I couldn't do this anymore. I told him it wasn't fair to him or J for me to be out of service. So to speak. I hated missing out on things w/ them and I wanted to be a part of what they were doing. I mean I missed J going pee-pee in the potty for the first time. So we talked about it and I said I would call my nurse and see if she would call me in some meds. Well I know someone on the phenegen(sp?) and she said it made her sleepy. Well I didn't want to be on anything sleepy cause that would defeat the whole purpose of what I was trying to accomplish. Being functional for my family. So the nurse put me on zofran. I picked up my prescription Friday and was shocked. $33.00 dollars for a 10-day supply. 2 pills a day. It also stated in the drug pamphlet that this drug is used for cancer patients when their going through their chemo. Yikes. Curiously D asked the pharmacist how much insurance covered on the drug. She said well the price was originally $360.00 dollars so you saved over 300 dollars. Yikes again. Well I said I would only take it in the evenings and if I needed it.
I took it Fri night when D and I had our "date" and felt pretty good. YEAH! I'm still skeptical of it and am not going to take it if I can get away with it but I am very thankful that I do have something now to help me feel better and get in some quality time w/ my family.
