16 weeks really?

Well, 16 weeks have passed by, my how it has flown by.  I actually have a little down time, Coop is sleeping and Charles is at work, so I thought I would write a little.  This week Cooper had his first fever, got as high as 101, but no worries, on a little virus.  He rolled over for daddy last Saturday, but didn't for me until March 31 (Thurs) while waiting for Dr Elahee.  Tried a few bites of cereal last night, but I think it gave him a tummy ache.  He sat in his booster chair for the first time today.  He weighed 13.6 lbs on Thursday.  He is getting so big.

I thought that I would try to write a little about my pregnancy and birth just to get it in words, since I started blogging late.

I went to visit my sister, Amy and her kiddos one weekend and felt like I had a cold all weekend.  I was stuffy and just feeling like crud, I was also supposed to start my period the week before and hadn't yet.  I just felt miserable.  On Monday I went to the doctor, determined to loose weight for the millionth time, she asked if there was any chance that I could be pregnant.  I said of course not.  Thinking it was totally  not possible I am too old and it was the last thing on my mind.  Tuesday I was cleaning out my office and found a pregnancy test.  I thought I would take it the next morning just because.  I still hadn't started, but it was no big deal. 
I got up for work on Wed and took the test. Positive??? No way.  Must be contaminated.  Took 2 more at work, still positive.  There must still be a mistake so I took one more at home.  Well, it was positive too.  Made an appt with the doctor for the next week.  I now had the hardest secret to keep, should I say something to Charles or wait until it was confirmed?  I decided to wait what would seem like the longest week of my life.  All the thoughts that went through my head....will this be a healthy baby, a boy, a girl, how will Charles react?  Am I excited or just plain scared?  Only time will tell......
next time I will let you know how I told Charles, it is really cute..

14 weeks

I can't believe that today is 14 weeks.  All the milestones that we have passed so far.  He first rolled over at 3 weeks, smiled at 6, started talking at 9 weeks. Just can't wait for him to laugh out loud, he tries and is getting really close.  Last week was his first week with the sitter "grandma Rose"  Cooper did really good.  Last weekend, Logan and Braden came and they all had a blast.  Cooper saw his first IMAX movie about Texas and he couldn't take his eyes off the screen.  He was such a good boy.  Sleeping is getting better for both of us, thank God.  I love to watch Coop sleep.  Today I just watched and thought about what a wonder gift from God he is.  He is perfect.  Everyone says he is just the cutest baby ever, even the nurses at the hospital couldn't get enough of him, and to think I cried several times while I was pregnant thinking I would have such an ugly baby.  How stupid was I.  I just love this little kiddo.  Charles is a wonderful daddy too.  Maybe it is a good thing that we waited, we are much more patient and laid back.  Today I am thanking God for our beautiful little blessing while I am watching him giggle in his sleep.

Week 12

Well, now I decide to start blogging.  I should have started this a year ago.  Better late than never.  I can't believe that Cooper is 12 weeks old already, my how time has flown.  He is smiling and cooing like crazy.  He loves to give his daddy all his sugars and to snuggle with me in the morning.  I go back to work tomorrow and I am not excited about it at all.  I will miss our mornings.  Right now he is curled up napping in my lap.  Each day brings something new and exciting.   I wonder what today will bring....yesterday we learned that if you want to wake up Cooper, put him in his bed. :)  I love to watch him sleep, he has the cutest little smiles and laughes.  It is even cute when he cries in his sleep.
