“I washed the laundry, cleaned up the ants and forgot about it until the same thing happened the next day. And the day after that.”
There are certain symptoms we all assume will accompany pregnancy, such as nausea, swollen feet and tender breasts. Personally, my sense of smell became so keen that I could have replaced one of those drug-sniffing dogs at the airport.
