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..

Hey, thanks Tabatha for the 'mundane' list! That was exactly what I was asking for -- oh, and the Tylenol drops remind me that the pediatrician might tell you/us that we need baby vitamins too


shannong - Thursday, 16 Aug
I do only have one doctor and she will come in when I deliver to deliver the baby. She's great. I know there are other doctors at the clinic, but I only see her. I am so glad to be near the halfway point! I cannot even tell you! I have been showing (where I couldn't hide it anymore) for about two weeks. It's crazy! I am sure I will be huge too! I started off at 191, so far I have only gained 2 lbs, and I can only gain 20, so we'll see! I will be super huge! You look super cute though. I have swollen feet too, I read that on your blog from today. It sucks doesn't it? I just hope I can lose weight after baby! I don't want to be super huge!!! I have already gone over 200.


lin - Thursday, 16 Aug
Thats exciting that you have had some labor signs! I am also getting swollen feet and they are hideous! haha. I have had a lot of pressure in my tummy lately and i think its dropping, I have lost parts of my plug as well but thats about it...hoping that means he is either early or on time and not LATE!!! We went to peurto vallarta, it was so much fun, even though i was pregnant and couldnt take advantage of the open bar!! Our resort was gorgeous, it was called canto del sol...so much fun!! I would LOVE to go again!! Im starting to feel the pressures of cleaning too, i keep thinking i have two weeks of work left, i will just finish those then i have to clean clean clean...but somehow i conned my mom into coming to help! haha, so that will be nice!


surprisemom - Tuesday, 14 Aug
Hey there, sorry it took so long to respond. Been with out internet since the move. I'm on the library's wireless network right now. I've been having those really hard Braxton Hicks and sometimes it sure does feel like THIS IS IT. But usually if a lie down or take a warm bath it goes away. However, I sure do feel like I am gonna go sooner. But as I recall I felt that way with my first too and I ended up a week overdue. Who knows? I just feel so uncomfortable now though really. How about you? I am back to not being able to sleep, or sleeping 3 hours and waking up uncomfortable. But good news, on the sugar front. My sugars have been so good that the doc says I only have to test in the morning now. And I have lost 2 pounds and not gained in a month. We'll see how long this holds out....


TabithaLove - Tuesday, 14 Aug
Yay for boys! Go team blue! Congrats on your boy..and thanks for the kind words. I'm sure you'll lose your weight quickly...my friend gained 60, had her baby last October, and is back to her normal weight...she even had to take ensure shakes to gain 5 lbs lol.


lin - Tuesday, 14 Aug
i dont think i have had any braxton hicks yet either! I have lost parts of my plug, just little peices, at least thats what i think it is! Nesting...not so much either! haha, I have the instinct to clean my whole house and I have great ideas and vision myslef doing it...but to actually do it hasnt happened yet! So dont worry...im right there with you! haha


jeaniebeanie - Tuesday, 14 Aug
Going very well now! How are you? Hope your hanging in there


shannong - Tuesday, 14 Aug
You poor thing. It's bad enough being sunburned when you are not preggers! Jeez!! I suppose with the heat it's getting harder for you, being so close to your due date and everything. You are nearly there! I am not even at my halfway point yet! I hope that you start to feel better. Getting rest is probably great now because you won't get it once baby is here! I have an appointment on Friday and we'll get the triple screen done. Scary test!! I am just hoping that everything comes out okay. I love the 3D u/s pics you have! They are super cute!


lin - Tuesday, 14 Aug
...kinda funny...we have the same due date, both having boys, my doc says my boy is BIG too! I also weight the same as you...kinda creepy! hehe


lin - Tuesday, 14 Aug
 I weight the same as you! Its so hard seeing those numbers going up and up and up! ahhh! I feel like I weight a ton, and my belly is so heavy, looking at you, you look wonderful! So maybe i dont look as bad as i feel!


niki - Tuesday, 14 Aug
