The mom nose knows
Friday, March 3:
My husband knows how to make me laugh. I haven't laughed since what I'll call the Big Baby Blowup of 2006.
He comes home while I am outside taking down a bird feeder. We greet each other, and I ask him if he smells anything funny outside -- like something's burning.
He didn't notice.
An hour later while we're finishing dinner, a news flash comes on the TV announcing a raging warehouse fire two towns away.
"Incredible," he says. "You've got the mom nose. {sniff sniff} Someone's cooking curry in Canada! {sniff sniff} Someone's making popcorn in Istanbul!"
He does other things to make me laugh, too.

how funny! it's true, though. being pregnant really does increase that sense of smell.
