Clpretzel Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think I have about 5 more weeks of constant morning sickness. So I'm wondering what you would recommend that I can put on a computer, iPod, iPad, etc., that will help me cross this hump. My kids are 6,7, and 10.

Clpretzel Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm going to sign the little people up for Reading Eggs with the free 5 week trial from HSLDA. DD10 will be doing Dragonbox on Ipad and a lot of Typing Tutor, as well as just reading. She's easier. I've downloaded loads of audio books. I have a prime membership, but not sure how to weed through all the documentaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also kids can learn a lot from the free games on PBSKids.org, especially the Super Why, Cat in the Hat, Sid the Science Kid, and Wild Kratts games and video clips.

Oakblossoms Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The Treadwell Primer is very sweet for a beginning reader. If you make sure the text to speech thing is on, then they can highlight a word and it will read it. I love Librivox. Just go to Ambleside online and download the one for Year 1. It links from there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyGirl Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've been there with all three kids :( Honestly if it were me, it's only 5 weeks. Have them read (or listen to audio books), play math games on the iPad, and watch science and history documentaries on Netflix streaming. Don't stress about it, don't worry about it. It's 5 weeks, they'll probably learn a lot actually, and you can just lay on the couch and rest. Side note, I had chronic all day horrible nausea with all three kids (for the full 40 weeks with the second one) and I learned about this with the last baby. It was truly the only thing that worked (I do realize how insane it sounds): http://karenhurd.com/pages/healthtopics/specifichealthconcerns/ht-shc-morningsickness.html Best wishes to you!

Clpretzel Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Wow... Thanks for the tip crunchygirl. I'll have to send my dh out for legumes. Oakblossoms, I'm going to look into the treadwell primer. I looked at my calendar a little closer and am hopeful that it will be closer to 4 weeks.
