The Secret Is Out!

I don't know where to begin! What a crazy 3 months this has been for us. In September, we found out that we are going to have a mini Cooper!! I've never been good at this blogging thing, but I hope that I can keep it updated with baby updates. People say you should keep a journal of your pregnancy (that's what I've read anyway) and I figured that an online blog would work best for me.
So, I believe I am 12 weeks pregnant and I really don't feel pregnant. Ha ha. God really took care of me and didn't let me have the morning sickness that I have heard/read about.  I did have a couple of days where I felt nauseous, but no hugging the throne. PriaseTheLord! The first 12 weeks I was super exhausted. Before I found out I was pregnant, I thought I had mono again. All I wanted to do was sleep!  I didn't really have an appetite, that's coming back now.  I think I eat every 2 hours or so. Not big meals every 2 hours but something. Last month, I had to go to the E.R. at 4am because I was having a gallbladder attack.  I knew I had gallstones in July but the doctor didn't think surgery was necessary, so I didn't go with it.  I didn't have another attack til this time. This attack lasted 12 hrs! It was horrible. On top of the pain, I was a zombie! The E.R. gave me vicodin for the pain and a shot in the hip for something else. I don't remember what that was for. I do remember I kept reassuring that the meds were safe for the baby and they said they were. I really don't remember much of the E.R. visit. I had Robert and Mom to take care of me. :-) So, now I'm on a no-fat/low-fat diet.  The diet won't hurt the baby...it will be good for it. But, this has got to be the worst time to have to diet like this. All I want is some french fries! I'm way to scared to eat them. I pretty much eat baked chicken/baked potatoes. Something fried would be totally awesome, though!
This Friday at 9am I get to see mini Cooper on the screen. This week we are hoping to hear the heartbeat. I've already seen the precious lil thing swim around in circles and kick. Doctor says it's a happy baby. :-) It's so amazing that life is being created in you. I really never thought about it and read about it and I have been learning a lot. It's just so crazy and exciting.
1st trimester is almost done! Whoohoo!
