Oh, wow.... this brings back memories!!
When I was in my first trimester of pregnancy with my daughter, oh how I
did dread "Indian food days" at work. Normally I love Indian food, but
during that massively-nauseated time, the strong ethnic-food smells just
made me ill. And I wasn't even "out of the closet" yet with regards to the
pregnancy, so I couldn't ask my co-workers to relocate without letting the
cat out of the bag.
*That* was a fun couple of months. ^_^
