Scary Speeding Cars

I wouldn't say that I am a fearful person in general. When I was younger I would jump at the chance to bungee, climb water falls, touch bugs, get a new tattoo or piercing, and of course some other not-so-smart teenage activities I regret participating in. In any case, you get what I mean.

As I've grown older some of those more risk taking adventures are beginning to make me cringe. I'm not as daring as I once used to be or sometimes still think I am inside my head. And this babe in my belly has definitly thrown a wrench in my adventure seeking nature! Don't get me wrong, I'm not begrudging the fact that I'm limited in what I can do now, it's just a really strange feeling.

I'm becoming, before Aedan has even been born, a barrier between the scary world and him.

But one thing that I guess people think are barriers has always annoyed me. (I apologize if anyone reading this has actually used what I am about to make fun of.) You know those "Baby on Board" signs you see overly protective parents displaying in their car windows? Like a mere sign will protect the precious little one on board from a car zooming at 100 MPH! It's too late once they can actually read what the small print says. The signs are pretty stupid. Is everyone else free for all if you don't have a baby on board?

Over the past few days however I've been feeling like I really need some sort of signage. It wouldn't be a small yellow sign but would look more like thick, yellow caution tape wrapped all around my car and my body for that matter. I've noticed that I cringe every time a car whips around a corner or when I'm being tailgated by some crazy person. Just this morning as I was walking through the car garage to my office another car zoomed at me like my belly was a target! I find myself saying things (out loud!) like, "Can you not see the belly?" or, "Hello, I'm pregnant, jack@$$!"

If anyone knows of a place I can get some caution tape please let me know. Thanks :-)
