Nausea, nausea, nausea

With my first pregnancy I was nauseated morning, noon and night from about five and a half weeks until seven months. My only real relief was sleep. Seems as though #2 is trying to keep up. Ginger helps, but only a bit. My ever-sensitive sense of smell seems to be adding to the intensity a bit. One contributing factor to my evening nausea could be that my darling husband is installing built-in bookcases in our entertainment room. Although we have an air filter running nearly 24/7, I can still smell the varnish. This is the room we hang out in after the baby is asleep. Since we had just moved in and were still painting our house when I first got pregnant with my son, I'll assume that I'm not doing any permanent damage. But boy, I can't wait for the smell to go away. Lesson being, watch out for all the stinky stuff in your home before you get pregnant! (and try to limit the home improvement projects, although better to get it done while pregnant rather than waiting until afterward!)
