literally.

before experiencing pregnancy i thought it was just a bit of sickness, tiredness and a growing tummy. but the biggest symptom i have had is a real enhancement of my sense of smell. carl’s bloke’s guide to pregnancy book i bought for him says that this is so i can detect evil substances more easily and so avoid ingesting them. great, but it also makes the kitchen a really unpleasant place to be and i have to hold my breath when opening the fridge. and i’m not feeding carl baked beans and sausages again until things have gone back to normal. it’s weird to feel yourself changing all the time in what seems like really random ways (transformers, susie in disguise).

oo, and i think i have started baby-related tummy expansion now. this occurred to me the other day when i went to undo the top button of my jeans to relieve some pressure, but it was already undone. it’s quite liberating really. don’t need to try and suck it in anymore. people can look and think i look pregnant and that’s fine, cos i am.
