Smells make me sad

New developments in my pregnant life:

1. Smells are making my life difficult. Not every smell bothers me, but some that are regular, everyday parts of my life. For example, most frozen meals smell like glue...or sometimes rotten cheese. The entryway to my office building also smells awful...this one I cannot describe but I can tell you that it's not good. I actually stubbed my toe this morning trying to run through and miss the stink.

2. I feel huge, but I have been told by quite a few people (mostly people I don't know and haven't asked their opinion) that I better "get to growing". To that I say, grow where? I think I'm almost out of room. I think they are just trying to be nice. Which I appreciate. They are probably thinking, "Whoa beast, watch the donuts why don't you."

3. Also smell related, I smell cinnamon everywhere. I smelled it at the mall, in my car, while taking Gizmo for a walk...apparently there is an invisible leprechaun dusting my way with the spice. I'm pretty sure this scent is in my head, but it's possible that people are really amping up their fall scents this year.

4. Last but not least, pregnancy brain has set in. What is pregnancy brain? It basically means pregnant women supposedly become forgetful and stupid while harboring their little one for 9 months. Up until this point I feel that I have successfully dodged this bullet (no matter what my husband has told you). However, yesterday I did something pretty stupid. I locked myself out of my (24 hour, key card entry only) gym. There was no one in the gym. There were no businesses still open near the gym. My car keys and gym key card were LOCKED IN THE GYM. So I had to walk about a mile home (picture me walking, giant belly, gross workout clothes, kindle and fleece in tow). Luckily, it was nice out. Unluckily, I had to wake the hubs (creature of madness) from his afternoon nap to take me back to the gym. He was not impressed.


So the pic I had posted here no longer exists...I know, I know...sadness. But the hubs didn't really get it...and the next day neither did I.
