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

pronounced: Ben ear as

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..

Well check out my page, and you will see, today I am in week 37! I have made it there! But boy do I feel yukky. Yesterday had cramps all day, had lots of trouble sleeping, and everytime I ate I got horrible indigestion. Then i would have to wait for an hour for that to subside so I could finally lie down only to be awakened an hour later by time to eat! Killing me! I want to go early and then again I don't, I just want the baby to be healthy really and so if that means i have to be miserable for 3 or 4 more weeks then so be it! i just want him to be big enough, but not TOO big if you know what I mean....I have not had any of that old labor inducer for months, doc told us to hold off, but my poor little hubby is going crazy!


Hannahs - Wednesday, 12 Sep

Hey.. how have you been? Dad's bday, your anniversary and the bundle of joy's bday - All in the month of Sept!! Gosh.. thats unbelivable and simply amazing.. I guess you will have a very busy Sept Month every year :) LOL!! Happy Anniversary Dear.. hope you had a gala time!! And dont be sorry.. what I meant was I deleted the posts abt pics before he read them ;)!! Anyways his entire family and even his relatives give me creeps all the time on almost all the things and especially monetary aspects!!They make sure I dont have a moments peace. Guess its fate :) Sorry for venting!!! Cutting the crap now.. how are you feeling? any progress so far.. My doc in my 3 prev visits has just one thing to say... My cervix is soft, has become a bit softer and is softer than the last visit!! Nothing more.. guess its driving me nuts now.. Am going for long walks .. hope monitoring this friday helps me get to know when I would be delivering.. Take tons of care.. and good luck to you!!


briana - Wednesday, 12 Sep
Thanks for the great information girl. We are going to try it once the hubby gets home. My doctor has never even checked me once, matter of fact he is never even been down there besides doing that little swab thing a couple weeks ago. The only time i get checked is if the labor and delivery does it so thanks again for the information!


briana - Tuesday, 11 Sep
Hi Tabatha, so how do you check yourself for dilation? Have you done it?


surprisemom - Tuesday, 11 Sep
Hey thought I would tell you that I went to the doc today and was 1 cm dilated and the baby's head is right there. i had a day of contractions that would only go away when I was lying on my side in the tub. When I walk too much they start up again. I really think I could go now at any time. It concerns me a bit about the dilation, cause when I had my first, I showed up at the hospital 2 cm dilated and delivered him just 3 hours later, so if I am already 1 cm and second labors are shorter, then what does that mean! My mom was telling me today that when she had my sister, her second, she showed up at the hospital, they broke her water and she delivered! So fast labors might run in our family. I'll keep you posted...


surprisemom - Wednesday, 5 Sep
Hey there, are you getting scared yet? Are you gonna be induced or just go on your own? Are you planning on having the epidural? I will find out on Thursday at my ultrasound how big the baby is - if he's too big, they may induce. If not, I can carry to term. My sugar levels are better, but I feel AWFUl. I am so HUGE. I am eager to get the results of the ultrasound to see how big this boy is, I gained 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks and I just know it is all baby! Today, though, at my doc appt. she said I had not dilated at all and the baby is still high up there. She says I am a long way from delivery but it sure feels like he is right there. It is painful to sit upright. You experiencing any of that? Do you know how big your little guy is?

Hey Tabatha, Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you. I just got my internet reconnected at the new place. Wow, can you believe your due date is approaching so fast?! Yep, I have been getting the nursery ready. Thanks for asking. I will try to post pics soon. We got our crib, bassinet, bouncer chair, tons of clothes, the bathtub, some diapers, etc. I am looking for white square pic frames for decorating. Can't find em! Apparently square is an odd shape for frames. I had a scare with my gestational diabetes for a few days and had to go to the ER, but it's back under control now. Now the problem is I can't seem to GAIN weight. I have only gained 2 pounds since July 11. Doc isn't worried but it is the weirdest thing, not gaining weight has never been a problem for me before.

Guess what happened yesternight :) I was editing my VIP page & I totally forgot abt the hanging-pic-on-the-wall conversations & started showing it to DH!! Had a tough time to distract him before I could delete those messages ;) Yikes!! I'wd rather talk to him straight then have him finding about it like this :) Anyways.. how r you? I have my monitoring scheduled this 28th.. my cervix was soft last appointment.. I'm just praying that the baby doesnt arrive early.. coz I want bub to be full 40 wks inside me :) LOL...:D Good luck!!


TRay - Tuesday, 21 Aug
Who was trying to induce labor on the 36 weeks page??? I didn't get a massage to induce labor, I just got it to help my sore back... I don't think anyone's really doing anything crazy like drinking castor oil. We all know we need to hit week 37 to ensure a healthy little one!


lass - Tuesday, 21 Aug
Pics r on the wall! Havent talked to him about it yet. He doesnt even know that I'm unhappy about it!I feel that this stress will affect my bub n me.. so am skirting the issue. Anyways, when is ur next appointment? Got mine scheduled on 28th for a monitor as well. Good luck :) and thanks again..


kellyandimogen - Tuesday, 21 Aug
hey how are you doing?its getting close now isnt it?


aztecp21 - Monday, 20 Aug
Thanks for your response. Well that is what I had when my U/S results came back my Dr sent me right away to the hospital to do a non stress test and a bio. But she also told me that they were going to keep monitoring my fluid wiht U/s every week. Well hopefully everything comes out ok. I'm not too concerned cause I'm already 35 weeks. so If baby comes early Hopefully evertything will be okay.
