Pregnancy Nose!

I have heard that when you are pregnant your sense of smell increases.  I hadn't really noticed any change in my smelling until the other night.

Andrew and I let Kody out right before we were going to bed.  Kody came back inside, and Andrew decided to give him a treat because he had been such a good boy while we were painting all weekend long.  Usually when we give Kody a treat we make him do something like sit, shake, or speak before we give it to him.  I was just standing next to them in the kitchen watching when suddenly...I smelled it!

I said to Andrew "Woah, it smells like straight up poop in here!"

Andrew just looked and me like I was nuts, thinking maybe Kody had some post-poo gas or something.

But I said again "Seriously, it smells like a big pile of poop, don't you smell it?!"

Andrew replied, "Um, not really."

Luckily, even though Andrew thought I was nuts, he started looking around at the floor with me.  And lo-and-behold, there was a little poo nugget on kitchen floor, just a few inches from my foot!

Andrew then told me that he thought Kody had been walking funny when he came in from being let outside.  Sometimes Kody get's poo-dangles and we have to help him out.  Gross, I know! Sorry!  I am just so thankful for my intense sense of smell! Had I not smelled it, I most definitely would have stepped in it!

Don't worry, Andrew quickly cleaned up the nugget and the kitchen floor.  I've told Andrew he better get used to this because once baby comes, he will be getting very familiar with poopy diapers! I have come up with system, that when Andrew, Baby and I are together, I will take care of input (breast feeding) and Andrew can take care of the output.  But I've told him, if he should decide to breastfeed at any point, we can always switch our roles! Haha, we will see how that goes once baby arrives! :-P
