While  pregnant  with my two  girls,  I too  had  trouble  with  morning
sickness.  I found that if I was well  rested I didn't have as much of a
problem as I did when I was worn out.  Soda  crackers  worked for awhile
with my  first  child,  but  after I got  sick  one  morning  when I was
extremely  tired, I couldn't  stomach them any more.  In the  mornings I
would send my husband to the  kitchen  for plain ol' toast.  It was very
bland and tasted wonderful at the time -- it also stayed down.

Eat several  small meals during the day by  splitting up the three major
meals.  Always  have  something  to eat  before  you go to bed at night.
Stick to bland  foods.  I found that the smell of very spicy foods would
send me to the sink.  For three  months my family  didn't  get  anything
exciting to eat.

Keep  something  to eat in your purse at all times.  I would  pull out a
granola  bar in the  middle of  church so I could  make it  through  the
service without having to rush out the door.

I agree  with  others  about  leaving  enough  time to get  ready  to go
anywhere in the morning.  The more  relaxed you are, the less likely you
are to make an emergency trip to the sink.

As for dealing with morning sickness with little ones around, I just got
sick, let my daughter (18 months at the time) rub my back and say, "It's
okay,  Mommy,"  and prayed  that my kids would  never have to go through
what I was going through.

Good luck!
