So I have this thing, okay so I have lots of 'things. But this one in particular is how a smell can instantly bring me back to a certain event, place, time, thought, moment, memory....it can be days, months, or years ago.
But one 'thing' is how the smell of lavendar brings me back to when my little Princess was a baby. To me little girl babies should smell like lavendar ~ that just the way it should be! Any time I smell it I think of the week that her and I stayed in a small little apartment in her birth state many miles away from home and Daddy! I used lavendar soap and lotion on her from the beginning and now that smell brings me back to her tiny baby days!
So naturally, since Cupcake is a girl, my thought is that the very same scent should be used for her so I can remember them both as babies by smelling the beautiful purple scent! So much so that I had to buy a special body wash for myself to use at the hospital and shortly after we get home so that I will be brought back to the very first few days of her life! While we were shopping today I told Handsome my thoughts and expected him to think I was crazy (I already had some stocked up body wash and lotion packed in my hospital bag...but it wasn't sitting well with me!) He either didn't want to disagree with a pregnant lady or he really did think it was logical. He does know how scents bring me back and he knows what 'smell goods' he should stay away from because they bring me back to the other couple of guys I dated before him....not what a husband wants to do! So we spent 10 minutes in the body wash isle trying to find an adult lavendar body wash and there was only one. Not one I would have normally chosen because of the brang, but there was one....and we bought it! My next shopping trip I plan on parking it in the lotion isle to find a same scented lotion to use too!
Oh the craziness...and I cannot even blame this one on pregnancy!
Thanks Handsome for understanding!
