7 months pregnant with october baby

7 Months - 30 Weeks

This baby is a wild one.  He is a lot more active than Tobey in the womb, but I think he is still struggling to get head down.  I think he is more oblique.  I'll find out more tomorrow at the doctors.  No cravings, no pains, nothing out of the ordinary other than the gestational diabetes.  We're just ready to meet this little guy.

Last weekend, Adam and I went to Charleston, SC for a babymoom.  This is what we did, and here are some pictures.

Friday - We got there at lunchtime and had lunch at Hominy Grill.  It was recommended to me by a friend, and it was really good.  Then we walked around for a while, but it was sooooo hot.  Then we went to where we were staying which was 30 minutes away on a plantation, the Inn at Middleton Place.  It looks like I didn't take any pictures of it, but maybe Adam did on his phone.  It was definitely a unique place.  Definitely not luxurious by any means, but it was nice.

Saturday - We went for a bike ride in the morning, which Adam enjoyed, but it's not so fun when you're 7 months pregnant.  It wouldn't have been so bad on a nice, flat, paved path, but we had to go through grass, uphill, and on a hiking trail (which turned out to be a horse trail which explained a lot).  I walked my bike for much of the ride.  Then we went to the pool for a little bit before going on the tour of the plantation which was pretty cool.  For dinner, we went back to Charleston and ate at Poogan's Porch after we went to mass at St. John the Baptist Cathedral.  Poogan's was really good!  But then we went back to the car for a second and we locked the keys in the car...oops!  Luckily, we got help in about 30 or 45 minutes.  We then went to some famous place for dessert, but it honestly wasn't too great.

Sunday - Not much happened Sunday.  We took our time getting ready in the morning.  Adam went for a run.  And then we headed home.

I'd go back to Charleston, but definitely not in August and after we visited some other places first.  Next time I would try to do some tours or go to some museums.

two and a half today and found a backhoe loader

all caught up!

I'm all caught up on my project to document Tobey's life until I started this blog.  I am sure there is much missing, especially when it comes to videos of him, but hey, it's the best I can do given the time constraints of being a mother.

tobey's nineteenth month (aug 26, 2011 - sep 25, 2011)

Tobey is taking a rare morning nap. And what do I want to do with my free time? Play angry birds.

he is 20.2 lbs, which is what I weighed at 18 months. I do love having a tiny baby!!
August 27, 2011 at 9:06 am


Tobey is 18 months old today. Weight: 1%tile, head circumfrence: 51%tile. He's a walking candied apple!

Tobey is at his grandparents for the day so I'm meeting Adam for lunch and then hittin' up the pool kid-free.

Tobey cracks me up! His favorite food is cheese, yet he refuses to eat tonight's pizza. As he begs for "chee", I tell him he can have a slice of cheese if he eats a bite of pizza cheese. At that, he laughs hysterically, takes a bite of pizza cheese, and begs for "chee" again while pointing to the fridge.

Made $161.25 at our garage sale today, but more importantly, we are no longer the proud owners of a futon.

Adam brought me Jim 'N Nicks for lunch! YAY! Love him!

Tried to teach Tobey how to roll down a hill today, but he just slid down on his tummy instead. I could only roll down twice as an example to him because I got dizzy and itchy. I guess that's what happens when you're not in your twenties anymore.

I am so blessed to have such a loving and self-less husband who, during his busy morning of things he needed to do, took time out to fix the tires on my running stroller so I could do something I wanted to do.

Yay! So glad I finally get to watch my Gators play this season b/c the game is on one of the few channels I have! Go Gators!

Have you been to Asheville? Any suggestions on where to stay and what to do?
September 19, 2011 at 11:43 am


Tobey peed on our professionally done photo album from adam and i's engagement! (totally not his fault since I was the one who was too lazy to put a diaper on him) what should I do?

tobey's eighteenth month (jul 26, 2011 - aug 25, 2011)

Highlight of my day: Tobey did an 8-piece puzzle all by himself. Tobey's highlight of the day: He got to watch two tractors drive by our house...twice. His eyes sparkled.

Leaving for vacation!

Caught an awesome wave at the beach today, and when Tobey saw the wave taking me away, he started to cry.
August 5, 2011 at 2:50 pm


Tobey seems very happy to be home from vacation. Little does he know we are flying to orlando later this week.
August 6, 2011 at 4:52 pm


Our little alarm clock of a child who wakes us up without fail everyday at 6am, slept into 7:45 this morning. Why couldn't he have done that during vacation?
August 7, 2011 at 8:15 am


My wildest dream came true! Tobey slept on our flight! We made it safely to Otown!

Update: Jess' contractions are getting stronger but she's got a long way to go. Mom and I are catching some Z's while we can. Can't wait to meet my nephew Ezra!
August 13, 2011 at 10:44 pm


Little Ezra's heart rate is dropping so looks like Jess is going to be having a C-section. They have a few things to try first...
August 14, 2011 at 9:32 am


When my sis' water broke at her shower, my 4 yr old cousin said, "Did she drop her cup?"
August 14, 2011 at 9:37 am


Okay so don't know what will happen with jess. Baby and mom are still fine though.
August 14, 2011 at 10:13 am


Ezra Walker Gomez is here!!!! 5 lbs 6 oz is all I know so far. He is getting checked out in the NICU now.
August 14, 2011 at 5:43 pm


About to get on a plane to go back to the ATL. Ezra is doing great! He's still in the NICU but is off the oxygen. Jess is also doing well.
August 15, 2011 at 9:25 am


I'm so lucky to have arrived home after such a crazy weekend to a clean house and car thanks to my wonderful husband Adam Slide!
August 15, 2011 at 1:41 pm


Nephew update: Little Ezra is doing good but still in the NICU to gain some strength and weight. Please continue to pray for him and for my sis and bro-in-law!
August 18, 2011 at 7:49 pm
