my favourite smell

Amniotic fluid.

I love visiting friends in hospital with newborns. The best time is before baby's first bath. The smell is wonderful. It makes me feel that post-birth rush of adrenaline and excitement. I would happily quit my job and drop everything else if I got to look after an amniotic fluid smelling infant.

Just me?

    No, but it doesn't mean that you're not both bonkers ;-)
