It seems as though I spent all day today cleaning up dog poo. My sense of smell has been ridiculous since I’ve been pregnant and I don’t really appreciate how good my sense of smell has become at certain times. I gag like crazy and often vomit because of whatever I smell during this pregnancy.
We have a teacup dog and I was so excited thinking about how I’d easily clean her poop because it’s so tiny. Then, it seems as if everyone in our family got a big dog. So now, when I go on poop patrol it can sometimes feel as if I’m cleaning up horse poop.
During this pregnancy I pep talk myself about it. I can clean that without getting sick, I think to myself. Then I go outside with the poop patrol bag and scoop it right up and the sight of it makes me gag all the way to the trash can. The kids all watch with amazement, waiting for the vomit to arrive.
I sit by the spa a while later while the kids swim and all of the sudden get a big whiff of another one. Oh gosh, I’ve got to clean that before the smell of it makes me vomit, I think to myself. I quickly go inside for another bag and go to clean it. Again, gag all the way to the trash can. Will my newfound sense of smell remain?
