My Sensative Sniffer

So let me just express how frustrating it is to have such a heightened sense of smell. Everywhere I go something is setting off this nose and it either makes me wanna throw up or gives me a headache. I feel bad for Eric because he tries to eat certain foods in the house, and I can't handle them. So he either has to eat outside or throw it away haha. Poor guy..he probably feels like he's living with a crazy person. And oddly enough...because I am so sensitive to the smells, it's making food taste funny to me as well. Which is also quite frustrating because I can FINALLY eat without it coming right back up, and NOTHING sounds good to me...or it'll sound good until I smell it and then I just want it to go far far away. Baby and I need to find ourselves a happy medium here with food. Basically right now all I have been eating is cereal lol, which probably isn't the best thing to be living off of. Although, I am a HUGE fan of cereal....but for 2 people living in a house, I think it's a little odd to have like 11 boxes of different cereal haha. It has effected my ability to take my prenatal vitamins, which I did discus with the Dr. and I was told to buy Flinstone chewable...ya know the ones we took when we were kids, and would always sneak a couple more when mom wasn't looking because in our eyes they were candy... well anyways, i'm back to taking those lol. Which lets face it, isn't all that bad. I am kind of enjoying the fact that they taste and smell better then the prenatal. BUT hopefully I will be back to taking the real ones here in a few weeks when my body decides to turn back to normal.
Being sensitive to all these smells has also made it a little hard for me to go to friends and families homes to visit, because if they are burning a strong smelling candle or cooking something intense, I pretty much have to leave.........or tell them what to do in their own home, which probably isn't the best option. haha. So leaving is really the only option I have. Take for example Eric's parents. Now up until this little baby came into my life, or belly for now... I LOVE LOVE LOVE her homemade chicken noodle soup. I looked forward to it everyone winter. She called one evening to let us know that she was making this amazing soup and I was thrilled beyond anything...because who doesn't love chicken noodle soup, especially when you have had an upset stomach anyways. Well, I was very wrong. Now I didn't go to his parents house with him because she burns pretty intense candles all the time, plus car rides mixed with my need to throw up all the time isn't a good mixture. So Eric, being the loving wonderful husband that he is, went there to get us some soup and bring it back. I saw him pull in the driveway and was all kinds of excited.....that is until he reached the garage and I kid you not between the first door into the entry way and the next big door into the garage.. I COULD SMELL THE SOUP!! That's right, threw 2 huge thick doors, I could smell this soup that was totally not smelling like the normal chicken noodle soup I know and love. It smelled to me like something that had been sitting out for days. I was so sad!!!! And poor Eric, he didn't know what to do, because he, of course loves this soup and even brought himself some for the next day at work. It was horrible... I was trying to cover my nose and not get sick..and he's running around like a mad man lighting candles and trying to get the smell out....4 3 2 1...up comes the 3 crackers and sprite I had eaten before hand. UGH! I am still sad to this day.. weeks later, over the fact that I cannot tolerate the soup. I am praying the later on in this pregnancy it was be better, and baby will learn to love this soup as mommy does!!
