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..

glad to hear it tastes not bad....is it a lot to drink though?


lin - Tuesday, 3 Jul
...actually I didnt get to do the glucose test yet! I went for my appointment and by the time the doc. wrote out the order and I got over to the hospital it was too late cause they were closing! So I go back on friday for my next ultrasound, so I will go a bit early and do it then...sheesh!


surprisemom - Tuesday, 3 Jul
Oh, yes. I did find out about the classes. Got signed up yesterday. They start on Aug. 4 and run for 4 weeks. So that will take me to the beginning of month 9. THEN the countdown really begins. Can't hardly BELIEVE it. I've been keeping myself busy shopping and comparison shopping online. Oh and yesterday hubby and I found a great used bookstore and I bought a bunch of prego books. Also, found this super cute childrens book of Aesop's Fables with great illustrations that I am using as inspiration for our nursery design. Guess you can tell, I'm feeling a bit better, huh? How 'bout you? What have you been up to?

Hello, I am doing very well, thank you. Hows everything going with you and your baby. Yeah it came as a suprise to me that I had gestational diabetes.Only person i knew that had diabetes was a great aunt.Im thinking what are my chances. I guess high enough, I have been keeping up with it for almost 2 weeks and its not all that bad. Big change of diet though eating alot more healther.Which i feel almost if I was eating healthy before it wouldn't of happened. But I know thats not the case. It really is a life time change to find out you have gestational diabetes. Even though it'll go way.Taking care and having a good diet is assential so I will not have diabetes later in life! Ohh but I miss tacos and cheeseburgers! I hope all your test come back good and you pass all or most of them. Heaven for bid and don't, no need to worry you'll be fine. I have a lot of information I can send your way ,too! smiles and God Bless ooh cheeseburgers ... I can still day dream:) .. lol


AmyC. - Thursday, 28 Jun
yeah the back pain is still there and today its bad...I took some tylenol but thats it...hubby rubs my back for me almost every night and that helps...I can't believe this saturday is the start of 7 months for me...time is just flying by...Sydney is just a movin today, too. She is a lot more active than my other daughter was. well have a great night...hope things are going well for you. hugs for ya!!!


lin - Thursday, 28 Jun
Hi, Im doing well. Have an appointment tommorow for the glucose test and the rhogam shot in the butt....ouch! How are things with you?


shannong - Thursday, 28 Jun
Wow. That is ambitious! We had our girls 2.5 years apart and it was perfect. They are great friends. And this will be our last one! I can't go through another pregnancy! I am getting too old for this! I am so tired and so this is it. I think that is why I am so worried about everything going okay. My husband is going to get the snip while we're pregnant, so there will be no more babies! We are going to be 51 as it is when this one graduates! We wanted to be young parents, but we'll be sort of old with this one. Oh well! Sometimes the pill doesn't work! What do you do?! It is what it is! So we're dealing with it and I am sure we'll be fine. I just want him/her to be healthy! That is the biggest thing. Thank goodness it's cooled down! I am so ready for cooler weather! How is it where you are?


LiDdlexPreGo - Thursday, 28 Jun
YES IT SURE IS GETTING HOT OVER HERE. I HAVE TO WEAR BDU'S ALL DAY LONG BEING THAT I AM IN THE MILITARY AND IT DOES NOT MAKE THINGS BETTER. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY LITTLE GABRIELLA TO COME. HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING WITH YOU?


surprisemom - Thursday, 28 Jun
Thanks for the pick me up message. I am trying to get over it! I slept alot yesterday and then got up washed my hair did the whole beauty thing and felt better. Shopping always helps too! lol! Yeah, Tennessee can be a drag sometimes. Especially after having lived overseas. Sometimes it seems like there is NOTHING going on here at all. Or even if there is it just doesn't interest me - I mean how many shows can you watch about Paris Hilton - give me a break. I think I am also feeling down because frankly I hate feeling fat! I keep asking my husband if he still finds me attractive. He says of course, but I can only bear to look at myself from the neck up.


shannong - Wednesday, 27 Jun
Everything went very good. Saw the baby moving about in there. He/she was kicking a ton! It was so cute. My hubby just said, 'WOW'. It was funny. The h/b was 180. And so far so good! I am still trying to hold on until 12 weeks though. I have read all of these horror stories about people who heard the h/b and then went to the next appt. and there was nothing. That scares the snot out of me!


surprisemom - Tuesday, 26 Jun
hi Tabatha, i saw your comments on the depression page. I am feeling the exact same way. My husband is working 45 to 50 hour weeks and we are living with my mom but i am sick of tv, sitting reading mags and the net. Before pregnancy i was living overseas, teaching, very active life. I am new to Tennessee and have just about HAD it here. I ended up calling my doc today about my 'depression' maybe she can help. Hope so!


shannong - Monday, 25 Jun
I haven't really felt like something is wrong, other than I thought I was having an ectopic, which was ruled out during the last u/s. The h/b was 173 then, so I am feeling pretty good about the pregnancy. I just worry about things going wrong! Sorry to hear of your loss. That is very sad. I don't know if I have ever had a m/c before. So far I feel great, no spotting or cramping, I am just tired and have a sick feeling in my tummy most of the time. Ick! I am jealous. I want salty fries right now! The Laffy Taffy and chocolate are NOT cutting it right now!!!!


shannong - Monday, 25 Jun
Wow! That is sooo funny! I have done that before. Man! Sorry to hear about those jerks. People don't understand that it's about how you raise your animals, not about the breed. Mc'd's fries sound AWESOME right now! Too bad it's only 9:28 a.m. and there isn't a Mc'd's around here. I work in a very small town and there isn't any fast food up here! Sucks. But I am eating Cheez-It's and they are hitting the spot! I am starving right now!! I have my 1st OB appt. tomorrow. I can't wait. We'll get another ultrasound too. Which will be fun. I have to admit I am a bit scared about it though because I read on another site I am on that this girl heard the h/b and then went two weeks later and the baby was dead. I had nightmares last night about it. It was horrible!


heatherlb - Saturday, 23 Jun
thanks for your comment on leg pains! i never thought about shin splints


shannong - Friday, 22 Jun
8 weeks is nothing! It's because I work for the county. If I worked in the private sector, I would get 12 weeks, paid. That is what sucks! I remember having my diabetes test, I hated drinking that stuff! Gross! I can't wait to get to 29 weeks! I am sure that your weight will be fine. It will all even out! I would gain too much in some months and then not enough in others, it has a way of balancing out I think.


shannong - Thursday, 21 Jun
I wish that I could stay home! That would be wonderful! I do love my job though and probably would miss it. But I would be busy with the girls being home over the summer, so I would probably be okay, I dunno. And when the baby comes, I only get to take off like 8 weeks and then I am back here again! Yikes! At least my headache went away! I think I needed to eat or something! I was starving. I hate that! It's too nice out to be at work today! I want to go home!!


shannong - Thursday, 21 Jun
I wish that I could hang in my pj's! I am pretty lucky because my job is so laid back! Working for the County has it's advantages! I am super tired today. I went to bed with a headache and still have it! It sucks! I took some Tylenol, but it's not really doing too much. Makes me so sad!!! Oh well, making a baby is hard work I guess - I'll just have to deal!


makama - Thursday, 21 Jun
Just dropping by to say HI!


AmyC. - Wednesday, 20 Jun

LiDdlexPreGo - Wednesday, 20 Jun
Thank you. Oh wow yeah our due dates are only 4 days apart. I cannot wait until my little princess comes out! Congrats to you on your little boy! Any names picked out?


shannong - Wednesday, 20 Jun
That sounds yummy! My hubby made burgers and I ate about 3/4 of a 1/2 of a watermelon and some dill pickle chips. It was really naughty! But I loved it! Today is going to be 85 and sunny, should be nice. It's not humid, so that helps out a lot. I am caught up with work and so bored!!!


niki - Wednesday, 20 Jun
Oh please dont get me thinking like that... i think you would feel wick, my mother in law bought pink and blue stuff she gave me the pink stuff last night.... first grand daughter on my hubbys side out of 4 boys.... it will be the 3rd grand daughter on my side and my sister in law is expecting a boy they all thought it would be the other way round. ha ha... fooled them all! take care x
