The Nose Knows
Dear Little George,
One of the side-effects of being pregnant is an ability to smell things far above the normal range. For example, Daddy cooks basmati rice and I smell the slight "dirty sock" undertone. During the first three months of pregnancy, fish cooking in the large cafeteria at work would send me running for the door even if I was completely on the other end of the building. On the positive side, I've changed only three or four poopy diapers in the past seven and a half months - each time I ran for the toilet. The real problem with this new power is that I smell bad. I've smelled bad for months and as this pregnancy progresses, it just gets worse. No one else seems to be able to tell (thank goodness) but here I am, smelling myself. There is no escape. Yuck.
Love,
Me
