I knew I was pregnant when the smell of tomato-based foods made me violently 
ill. And I love tomatoes.

Air fresheners and heavy perfumes give me a migraine headache, leading me to 
wonder if they are really all that safe--I certainly try to avoid keeping 
things that make me sick out of my house!

Now, I just ate a piece of cheese yesterday, after cutting off a few tiny 
flecks of mold--but I cut WAY deep around it, and I wouldn't touch anything 
else that might be moldy.
