Welcome to the group RR!
I had to wait forever to get in to the OB too. Is this your first baby? It is our first. Exciting times.
My morning sickness hit's mostly in the evenings too, although I did have all day sickness for a few months. The only things that really helped me at all were limeade, ice cold water to sip, and believe it or not really strong peppermints. Make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day as some dr's say that for some people morning sickness is a sign of dehydration. It can also cause dehydration if you are getting really sick. Another tip is to have a snack midafternoon, veggies and protein are best, as I find that sometimes if I go too long without eating I get sick. Of course, as with all morning sickness treatments/cures YMMV (your mileage may vary). These are only things that seemed to help me a bit.
Also, make certain that you are taking a good prenatal vitamin. It is EXTREMELY important that you are getting enough folic acid. I've tried a few different types and the one I like best is from GNC. It doesn't make me sick and it has higher values for most of the vitamins and minerals than most brands. On top of that it's not as expensive as a lot of the others. I think it was approx $17 for a bottle of 120 as compared to close to $30 for a bottle of 90 of other brands. I also take a calcium supplement and a ton of vitamin C (I like the ester-C). The calcium supplement is important if you can't handle milk especially well, or if you drink a lot of soda. The Vitamin C helps your immune system, I was getting every cold the kids at school exposed me to until I started upping my vitamin C.
I find that reading alound to the baby makes my pregnancy seem more real. There have also been studies that show a possible correlation between higher IQs in children who were read to inutero, and if it is technical reading higher test scores in those areas. Of course, most of those studies talk about it after the fifth or sixth month when the babys hearing is developed, but I have been doing it since I found out I was pregnant... even before I read those studies. Like I said it makes the baby seem real to me -- and that's a big thing when except for the vomitting, fatigue, and sore breasts there were no other signs of pregnancy.
Now that I've written a book, sit back, relax, get lots of sleep, and enjoy being pregnant.
