Sickening Smells


Joe and I went grocery shopping today at Ralph’s and all I could smell was the roast chickens that they sell in the front of the store.  The smell was gross and overpowering.  I got really sick and came the closest I have so far in my pregnancy to actually throwing up.  I started to gag.  I had to sit in the car and eat some bread.  I’ve always been kind of sensitive to smells but that was so sickening.  Joe ate eggs one morning and that smell made me really sick too.  I had to leave the living room to get away from it.  The only other smell that really bothers me is the chemical caulk smell coming from our kitchen window.  We had double-pained windows installed in our kitchen because of the loud obnoxious kids next door over two months ago and the caulky smell has not gone away.  It makes me feel really sick any time I go into the kitchen.  I tried spraying it and putting good smelling soap nearby but the smell doesn’t seem to be going away.  I’m also still having a lot of trouble eating meat.  I have the least issue with chicken so far but red meat in particular is very unappealing to me.  And I’m still having trouble drinking water.  Though mixing half water and half lemonade with ice really helps.  I think I'm going to try switching to bottled water to see if that's any better.  The good news is that I’m craving mostly fruits and vegetables so I guess I’m still eating pretty healthy.
