2nd Trimester

I realize I have been lacking on posting, but the happy news is that I'm well into my 2nd trimester! I'm 15 weeks at this point and I'm beginning to see some bulge. Even though it looks like I have overeaten, it's there! It actually gets bigger after I eat and I cannot suck it in.

I notice my self-esteem is pretty low. I'm having a hard time finding myself attractive and I feel like I just need a little support in that area. I don't hear very often that I'm looking good or looking pretty. It would be nice to hear from time to time--as long as it is the truth!  ha!

The only story I really have from lately is my bike crash with another Chicago bike rider. This man needs some prayers! Let me explain. I was exiting a bike path and as I was slowing down to turn left to exit, this man wanted to pass on my left and as I was turning, he ran right into me. I had Molly in the basket and this babe in my belly so you can imagine how nervous I was. This man was not polite about the situation at all! He was all concerned about his bicycle and fell to the ground like a drama queen and did not get up right away. Immediately, bystanders asked if I was okay, and I replied, "yes, but I'm pregnant so I'm pretty shaken up right now." The man did not even flinch or ask me how I was. Even though I should've been worried about myself, I kept asking him if he was all right, but he totally ignored me and wouldn't even address me. Please pray that this man learn some proper manners and etiquette when it comes to speaking with people. I know that sounds mean, but I don't think he had proper social skills or manners. To me, good manners are ALWAYS in style.

Hmm..in other news, I finally announced I was pregnant at work. I'm getting a lot of positive attention including students who ask if I am naming the babe after them haha! I also got asked what I would do if a full size teenager comes out of me. WOW!
