6 months!

It's hard to believe that my little joy has been here with me for 6 whole months! It feels like yesterday when I first looked upon his beautiful face.

My son is very healthy. He is 27 inches long and 24.5 lbs at the last dr's appointment. Hes such a happy boy and I am so happy to be his mommy!

It's a boy. Gio' vanni Bonerhes

June 8, 2007

Hello, I am Tabatha, 25, I am married to the most wonderful man, Jeff. We live in Hampton Roads Virginia and our expecting our first baby. Our little boy is due September 18, 2007. As the time draws closer I get scared for I have never held a baby, changed a diaper, or had anything to do with a baby before. So far I have had 2 ultrasounds and everything looked good. I have declined all the testing to see if the baby had anything to this point. I don’t want to know I am going to love my son regardless, so I don’t want to spend the rest of my pregnancy worrying about downs or c.f. or anything. Jeff and I had tried for years to get pregnant, but the doctors told me that I don’t ovulate so I could never get pregnant. Last year I choose to start using birth control because I was in Iraq and sleeping in a tent with 13 other females really throws your cycle off, so I wanted to regulate. I ended up pregnant! At first I was scared and upset because it really wasn’t the time nor place but now I am very excited. I didn’t allow myself to think about it at all till later in the pregnancy since I’ve been pregnant twice before, in 2005 we lost a set of twins and a few years before I had lost another angel. Sometimes I get so scared about being a mommy, I feel so young and so unprepared for all of this. I know a lot of younger women do it but this happened at a really bad time for us. We are making it all work though and I know in the end it will be worth it. We had names chosen for a boy and for a girl the last ultrasound said it was a boy so Gio’ vanni Bonerhes is his name. We choose Bonerhes because that was the hubby’s late fathers name. We live in Va, my choice, but right now it stinks, I am kind of lonely I have no family near me, I don’t know but 2 people, and my husband works a ton. I spend all day everyday with my two dogs Fate (Boston Terrier) and Nadia (Pittbull).

June 11, 2007

This weekend was really great, Jeff had Sunday off and we went to the beach to collect sea glass for the baby's lamp. We don't have enough yet but we still have a few more months to get there. Then we laid on the sofa and watched Law and Order most of the day, he cooked dinner, and we went for another walk. My back hurts so bad now, I've found that walking helps to relieve the pressure. While we were walking the beach I was thinking there is so little time left before my baby comes. This pregnancy has been progressing so quickly, it really don't feel like I've come this far. I start getting scared about the baby maybe coming early and such. I know they are premature unwarrented worries. I can't believe I am having my own baby. Man he has been moving like crazy lately. I hope he's a good boy. They say your kids are worse than you were- that scares the crap out of me! lol. I can't wait to see my little angel but part of me just wants to stay pregnant forever.

19 June 2007

So today is my first day of week 27 most of the websites say this is also my first day of my 3rd trimester- this site don't though? Hmm wonder which is right. It's really scary knowing I am this far and so not ready for bub to make his appearance yet. I am rather excited about him but still very scared. My next dr's appointment is on Thursday the 21 I hope all is still well in there. I am going to start calling around to figure out where I want to do my 3d/ 4d u/s I want one I just wanted to wait until at least 28 weeks- the baby's I saw at 28 weeks looked so good so I decided I wanted there or after. They are kind of expensive so I only plan on one. I've had 2 us's to this point and 2 more coming with my dr. us's are one thing my insurance dosen't cover period so I have to pay for each one of them. But that isn't so bad, I am rather happy with my insurance I can't believe how great they are. I wonder what my baby will look like, will he have blonde hair and blue eyes like me, black hair and dark skin like daddy, or a mix somewhere in the middle? It's silly but it feels so weird not knowing what you baby is going to look like, not seeing him, yet knowing he is there. I did some work in the nursery over the weekend the only thing left really is to clean it up- and if we can put new carpet in before he gets here. I am very happy with the nursery we could have went with one of the ones that have all the stuff done for it but we choose finding nemo and they don't really have much for a nursery in that scheme so we made due and boy does it look awesome. I hope bub enjoys the ocean and outdoors as much as daddy and I do.

I am feeling pretty good, lately I've been so low on energy then I feel really sore on top of that it don't make me very eager to get any housework or anything else done for that matter. All I want to do is sleep. I need to force myself to be productive. My back and rib cage are still killing me. The maternity belt helps my lower back a ton. My butt hurts and so do my upper thighs I think it's from sleeping on my side but I feel so stiff it is hard to walk at times. hmm. lol I hope everyone else is doing well.

June 21, 2007

Dr.'s appt. went well today, the dr. said I gained to much weight (big surprise lol), belly still measures well, the heartbeat is 156 bpm. I was supposed to have the gestitational diabeties test today but I had asked for an afternoon appointment and they didn't relieze it but it was about time to close so I am waiting till 29 weeks for it.

July 3, 2007

Well yesterday was another day spent with the dr. lol. hb was between the 150-160 he was moving a lot. I can't really feel it inside anymore but you could hear it on the doppler and the dr said he was just a pushing back on her hands. I find it to be funny cause I didn't feel any of it at all. I know that he was because when I put my hand down there I can feel it but it makes me so nervous cause a couple weeks ago I could feel every movement inside my belly. hmm. I took the test for the gestational diabetes the drink was actually pretty good. I guess because I was scared to drink it thinking it would be awful. It tasted sort of like crystal light would with a cherry sort of taste. It wasn't bad and my belly never hurt or anything.. Let ya know the results in 2 weeks.

July 19, 2007

Well, today was great, we had our 3d/4d ultrasound. It was AMAZING we could see Gio' Vanni sucking his thumb, sticking out his tongue, chewing, pointing at us, flexing his arm, and he kept showing us his "boy parts". We got wonderful pictures I posted here. Than, we had our dr's appointment and I don't have gestational diabetes, thank god we were very worried! His heart beat was 136 oh on the u/s we could see the blood flowing through the heart! The dr said we had a very large healthy baby.

August 02,2007

Today we went to the dr. Lil' G's hb was in the 150's, I weighed 185 lbs (man I put on a ton of weight) , and everything seemed good. Next appt 2 weeks then we move to every week. Man there is so much to do and my baby will be here so soon!

August 16, 2006

Dr. yesterday hb was in the 140's, I weighed 191 lbs (200 here I come!), did the strep b test. Next appointment 1 week. Swelling is awful my feet are huge and hurt... I've dropped some... I am huge having lots of new discomforts.... take care..

people always say your so young you have to many kids but i dont care because i love being a mom and having lots of kids makes me happy they are a true blessing from god . i love my kids so much . i am doing good i got my appointment to day i will update .


surprisemom - Thursday, 20 Sep
Congratulations! You did it! And he is beautiful, so precious. Like his little 'dog tags.' I go in Monday at 5 am for my induction. I am getting nervous now. Had some contractions again today. I sure hope I am about 3 or 4 cm dilated when they start the induction. I want to hear all about your delivery. You said you pushed a long time, how long? What about pain? Did you have the epidural? I did not have one with my first, so this will all be new to me. I'll let you know as soon I have any news. Be sure to sleep when the baby sleeps and take care of yourself. Are you breastfeeding? Let me know if you have any questions on that. I breastfed my first one for 9 mos. I got help from the La Leche league and even went to a lactation consultant to get him latching on properly and everything.

 he looks so cute here in his jordan outfit


Bella_vita - Wednesday, 19 Sep
Wow he is a big baby...how cute...love the outfit. How much did he weigh?


surprisemom - Wednesday, 19 Sep
hey girl, i had a doc appt on Monday and well, they want to induce me NEXT Monday, the 24rh. i am scared but the doctor is concerned about my gestational diabetes and the fact that I am not really gaining very much weight. She wants to do another scan of the baby late this week and then on Monday we are to head to the hospital at 5 am. She said it was my choice, but the more I have been reading aabout induction, I think that it is for the best. My doc has an excellent reputation and I dont think she would suggest it without good cause, so guess we are gonna have a baby on Mond or Tues at the latest. I have had some slight leaking of amniotic fluid and odd pains too. My neighbor thinks I will go before Monday. We will see. Anyway, you are in my thoughts, hope all goes well, will ttys!


lass - Tuesday, 18 Sep
Hey you!! Hope you things are fine now!! Did they induce you on Monday or did you deliver on ur due date? Am so excited for you.. sorry for the delayed response.. got into some kinda mental block.. I'm due one day later than you.. hoping to hear Doc announcing some really good news.. Hey.. Good luck to you for having a very healthy, happy baby with minimum fuss!! Lemme know how you handled your small frame etc during delivery!! OMG :) Take all the care .. and shall keep you in my prayers :)


kelly25 - Monday, 17 Sep
Oh no! I have a dr appt today, so I'll have to let you know if I've progressed at all. I think I'll start asking about induction, b/c I can't imagine going too far past my due date! I see you are due tomorrow :-) Do you what the plan is if you don't go into labor on your own?


staceyp - Monday, 17 Sep

surprisemom - Sunday, 16 Sep
i see you got brave and posted a bunch of pics too! I think our blues/blahs must definitely have lifted or we would not share those big belly pics. I am feeling GOOD these days. Must be that last rush of hormones before delivery. Good luck TOMORROW! Can't believe it is TIME for you!


mommytobe2007 - Saturday, 15 Sep
well good luck!! they have set up another inducement for 9-17-07 so hope he will be ready!! thanks again!!


~mt~ - Friday, 14 Sep
Hi, thanks for your comment. Both facts apply to me as well. We live abroad and mostly I have friends from work... and will be probably mostly alone when the baby comes. Neither I have any experience with babies. So, it will be fun. I am not feeling ready to become a mother, but I will probably never be, so lets just enjoy the adventure... Good luck on Monday!


hayley - Friday, 14 Sep
Hello Everyone sorry im not on this website often anymore. Hope your all feelining well not long left now ay! I've had loads of crap again baby extended breach which meant his the wrong wayaround and his feet were in his face but looky me last week he moved yay. I have a ,midwife come to my house every 2/3 days because my blood pressures high it varies from 80 to 96 which isn't good. Now i also have to go into my local hospital evey Thursday for check ups on the baby and my blood pressure and scans etc, I've had 7 scans now ha ha trust me. But good news yesterday i saw a consultant and she didi a full over check up on me and the baby is fine and seems healthy. I've had the worst pregnancy ever but im happy i only have a couple of weeks left then we'll finally be together. This little boy's gave me loads of hassal and he's not even here yet ha ha. Hope your all well anyway girls good look with everything and keep me updated if anyoof you have your little uns x x

OMG it is REALLY happening for you! I am excited, I am sure you are nervous. I don't want to be induced either. I am afraid it will lead to a c-section. Some of these nurses are not very good. I have been going for the diabetes counseilng you know. Well, I lost another 4 pounds and now I feel like I am losing weight every day, my belly has even shrunk. So finally today, I called those diabetes counselors to find out wth is going on. Come to find out because I had been told 2 different things by 2 different nurses I have been being too strict with myself about food, essentially starving myself and the baby! I wondered why I was HAVING to eat every 3 hours and my stomach cramped if I went over that. One of them had told me to count ALL carbs, even in peanut butter, cheese and everything, but the other one had said to only count carb exchanges which is totally different. That may be why when they estimated Arman's weight at 35 weeks he was at 4 lbs. 15 oz. but should have been at 5 lbs. and 8 oz. That really scared me. As a result I am worried that he may have been stressed in utero. Poor little thing, he's been hungry! When you go for the induction, see if they will let you walk around. My sis was induced but then when she didn't progress fast enough they ended up doing the c-section. Another thing I did with my first, was to imagine my cervix was a flower opening, opening. Sounds crazy, but it really did work. In the end though if he is really, really big I had another friend who had a c-section and she did just fine. Her baby's head was too big to come through her pelvis, they HAD to do it. She had started out weighing less than 100 pounds to start with and had gained about 50. But the baby had a basketball head, I kid you not! Anyway, good luck!!!!! And God bless. Keep us all posted.

come join my pregnancy chat on my VIP page since we dont have one on this site anymore!!


surprisemom - Wednesday, 12 Sep
I finally added some of my pregnancy photos to my page. Prepare to be shocked by the FAT lady and these were taken weeks ago! But I have only gained 3 pounds since then so am about the same. Guess my pregnancy depression has lifted a bit, I would not have posted these a few weeks ago. LOL.
