Long time, no post!?

People have been commenting on my sporadic posts lately. I was planning to say that I was too busy at work...but that's not really true (I was really busy when I was posting, but was still finding time to jot down a few things). To be honest, I just haven't had much to say lately. Nothing new really...belly is getting fatter (I took pictures yesterday but haven't decided if I'm going to post them...they're seriously unflattering!)...work is getting more annoying (every day that I get closer to mat leave gets harder and harder to endure!)...I'm in a new battle with my strata (totally unrelated to Baby-Bean, so I'll leave that one alone for now!).

The one thing that I have been meaning to note here is my completely irrational fear of being hit in the stomach.

Now I've had this fear for a long time, but because it is so embarrassingly irrational, I was trying to avoid writing about it. I've decided, however, that I should have a log of this so that if the fear comes back in my next pregnancy, I won't think of gone crazy (or at least, I won't have gone any more crazy than I already was!).

It's not like I have a fear of random objects flying at me, or even an accidental bump or elbow on the street. What I have, is a fear that a stranger is going to walk up and punch me in the belly.

Weird, I know.

But seriously...I picture it almost every time that I see a stranger walking towards me (including every morning on the bus).

Maybe it's something to do with the overactive imagination that leads pregnant ladies to have vivid dreams...

I'd like to think that this is "normal", but somehow, I seriously doubt it. Do I really think that people are going to punch a pregnant lady in the belly? Probably not (if I really think logically). But my brain isn't functioning logically when I get these mental pictures.

It's creepy and weird. I'm creepy and weird.

And with that, I sign off. :)

I'll try to update more consistently...but my priority right now is finding a non-pastel crib bedding set (a ridiculously difficult task). Prof-Man and I still like the one that I posted earlier, but we're having trouble finding it in person (I plan to order it online from the States, but would at least like to see it in person first!).
