So, do you remember a few posts ago when I mentioned that I started becoming sensitive to smells and that I could handle it because I already have a strong sense of smell? I lied. I had only but a small taste of what was happening to me.
Every smell is like too much smell.
The ABSOLUTE WORST place in the world is Royal Farms. Actually, anywhere that makes greasy food is disgusting but Royal Farms is the worst. I can not go in, if I have to go in-life or death- I have to take a giant breath and run for my life. In this case, I will smell the rest of the day. My hair, my clothes, my car… eeeeeeeeeew! This is not an exaggeration… driving by I will still have to hold my breath because the wind sometimes wofts the smell into my car window. Got to stop talking about this now.
If you have a weak stomach, do not read the section below.
Most of you know by now that our Baby does not like it if I eat, anything. Therefore, back up it usually comes…even if there isn’t anything in there. Fortunately I have only had the experience of throwing up in two places, at work and at home. These instances have really been getting me thinking about how terrible it would be if I had to make a run to a public restroom. Now, yes, technically our office restroom is a public restroom (not unisex) but I know all of the women who use it, I know how often it is cleaned and I have a pretty good idea who uses which stall.
Now, some of you if not most of you have thrown up at some point in your life. So, you know that the water will usually always splash up in your face. Could you imagine yacking in a bathroom the hasn’t been cleaned since Lord knows when and the lady who just got up from using it just had a Big Mac with Fries… the same toilet your arms are now resting on while your face is…. ugh… This is serious reason why to never leave your house while pregnant, or nauseous. I am so grateful I have not had this experience yet.
Just something I have been thinking about.

I think I am starting to get a little belly. If you didn’t know me and you saw me you would probably just think I looked bloated, but if you do know me, you might see a little poochy thing starting to develop. This is exciting. I asked Ryan what he thought, he said “maybe, but I think I am just in denial that you could be actually pregnant”- to this I say… HELLO!!!
Please someone make me (specifically- no substitutions) a yellow Duncan Hines Cake with chocolate Duncan Hines Icing. Circular or Bunt. Thank you in advance.
Things I would like to accomplish before December (birth of child): Buy a house and move in, update my photo album, transfer all of my recipes onto my recipe cards, eat three meals a day without getting sick, visit New York for the day sometime in November when it is chilly and whimsical, sell Ryan’s truck (any takers?), get a tan on my florescent legs and watch Ryan’s softball team win their National Tournament (Lord willing I will be watching it, whether they win or not…).
I have a Doctors Apt today so hopefully sometime this week, depending on how I am feeling, I will be able to post info about our baby and how it is growing.

i think it’s pretty funny that you know who uses which stalls at work. and i think the thought process behind choosing a bathroom stall is interesting. do you think most people have a stall that they always default to? my bathroom at work has 5 stalls – the last one is the handicapped stall – and i regularly choose stall 4. but i think stall 2 is most popular and i think stall 1 is probably the least used, and therefore the cleanest. i think most people probably use stall 2 because they would expect stall 1 to be the most used, but i don’t think that’s true. and i’m trying to switch from 4 to 1 but for some reason it’s hard.
i know this comment probably seems weird but i bet if you stop and think about it, bathroom stalls make for interesting conversation.
Allyson,
Your comment is not weird, I too agree that it makes for interesting conversation…
We have four stalls in our restroom and the 4th stall is the handicapped. I like that one the most because it has the most room, but I also think that it is the most frequently used one. So, I only use it to “use it”, not to get sick in. The least used stall is stall number two, I know this because the seat is left up after the cleaning people come in and it usually stays up for days unless someone has to use it. I would use that one but it smells very strong of bleach.
