Like chantal said it is completly normal!!  I am due October 11 and I have lost 2 lbs--unlike both of you I do not vomit up food but I am so nauseated that I just can't eat!!  When I do eat its not very much!!  Like she said you need to get pleanty of fluid and take your prenatal vitamins!!  Congrats and good luck!!

Congrats! I am due Oct. 9th (as of now, i will have an u/s on the 25th to confirm)
To answer your question, yes, very normal! I have terrible all day sickness, and vomit every morning and some nights, and have lost 5 pounds so far. As long as you are getting enough fluids and eating what you can, you will be ok. The 2nd trimester is full of hope!! lol. =) We are almost there.
