Hi New Mom,
First off Congratulations! How exciting for you both to be expecting a baby. Is your boyfriend aware of the changes your body is going through at the moment? If not, he should probably read up on the many things he will need to be sensitive about, first and formost, not guilting you into having sex when you aren't in the mood.
Your body is working like a little factory creating another human, that takes a boat load of energy, particularly in the early stages. Never mind that your brain will be going a million miles a minute adjusting to the idea. Its no wonder that you are feeling less than amorous.
Don't feel badly about having a lower drive right now, pregnancy is only 9 months... then the newborn stage will be exhausting so your drive will take a hit then too. Certainly don't do anything you don't feel like doing, offer to cuddle or give each other massages, mutual naps sound perfect right about now don't they?
He may find some relief and support through discussing all of this on some of the daddy forums, they are out there, tell him to check it out.
