Self Absorbed

Oy, I just realised that I have not blogged in ages. Perhaps this is proof of the fact that I have been entirely self absorbed lately. Pregnancy does this to a woman, it draws her completely inward. I wonder if it is just preparation for the vow of selflessness she is about to take when she becomes a mother. There isn't a minute of the day when I am out of touch with my body. I am constantly rubbing my growing belly. Rubbing my swollen ankles. Obsessing over what my labour will be like. Will I ever come back down to earth?
