What a difference a trimester makes!!!

Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty...I am free at last!!! It has been a long 9 weeks my friends...and I can't believe I have been able to keep my big fat mouth shut for this long but now I am shouting it from the roof tops...

"I'M KNOCKED UP!!!"

I'm such a dainty, proper little lady aren't I? Let's see how else could I put it...:

"In the family way"
"With child"
"Expecting"
"Have a bun in the oven"
"Preggo"
"The rabbit died" (which by the way I don't get...and I'm not sure I want to). Anywhoooo....

But yes...I am pregnant and I am over the moon. We did not share the news with anyone until I was 12 weeks along as we wanted to make sure that things were progressing normally...so conveniently the 12 week mark hit right around Mother's Day and we were able to give my Mom a pretty big surprise. I had been avoiding talking to my Mom for a little over a week as it had become very difficult to talk with her and not mention the elephant in my uterus the room.

So needless to say my Mama was glad that the prolonged silence was not me going all Tori Spelling on her, but rather that it is difficult for me to lie to her face (it was quite a bit easier at 17...but now the guilt is not worth it...so I just avoid her :)

Another funny tid bit is that after all of my preparation and planning, research and reading...we never even needed to use the fertility plan Dr. Le was putting into place for us. In fact when we went to the appointment to meet with Dr. Le...I was already pregnant...I just didn't know yet. I know Channing is really disappointed that I can't write ad nauseum about the sperm meets egg plan on my blog now. He really wanted to kill me enjoyed me sharing all of those details in this public forum. Sorry honey...maybe you can start your own blog where you can keep people updated on your sperm...YAY!!!

So I just wanted to update you all on why I have been MIA for a while...it's because I am nauseous, exhausted, bloated, gassy, constipated, acne faced just soaking in all the joys of pregnancy...but I'm back now and will keep you all updated over the next 28 weeks on this little miracle growing inside of me!!!
