I’ve still got no baby news for ya this morning.
Baby Tooth is still hangin’ strong in there, despite our efforts to coax him out all weekend long. Although there’s a little extra discomfort, we’re all doing well over here and still just playing the waiting game. We have another appointment this morning, which includes a non-stress test (apparently routine for the babes that are overdue) so we’ll see what’s happening.
Word on the street is that the Royal Baby may wind up coming today, so who knows…maybe Baby Tooth will share a birthday with him/her? If not, that means I’ll be living with two Leo’s in one house…oh boy!
As for the weekend though? Despite some emotional outbursts, it was actually really nice! A leisurely breakfast on Saturday…
A nice two-mile walk on Saturday (also repeated again on Sunday for 4 miles in total). Apparently didn’t do much to help, but it did feel good to move!
Date night on Saturday night with Jay at Jose Malone’s, with the same quesadillas I got there last time on date night. Super yummy. We also wound up renting the movie 42 that evening and it was a GREAT movie. I would definitely recommend!
Sunday morning rolled around…still no baby. So another leisurely breakfast was enjoyed.
Kodiak Cakes with lots of fresh blueberries. YUM!
A little time spent poolside on a gorgeous day…
I hung out while Jay attempted and successfully completed swimming a whole mile’s worth of laps in the pool. I was impressed.
After a couple text messages back and forth with my pal Kate, we wound up having her and Joey over for dinner for one of our favorites…pizza on the grill!
We cooked up two pizza doughs, cutting each in half, giving us two cheese, one bbq chicken, and one chicken and veggie pizza. We still have a ton leftover, which is perfect, since the whole cooking regularly thing still isn’t really happening.
Honestly, I was feeling a little grumpy yesterday afternoon, but having a couple of our close pals over really helped cheer me up and get me out of my funk. Thanks again for coming over, Joe & Kate!
So now this morning, we’re off to our appointment…then, depending on how that goes, I may go back into work for a few hours. As long as I’m feeling alright, I figure it’s better than sitting at home all by myself!

Been wondering how you and Baby Tooth were doing. Guess Baby Tooth is feeling pretty cozy in your belly! ;-) I hope he comes soon!!
That pizza looks so awesome!!
Lisa says
Totally thought the baby was here by the title;)
Good luck today, hopefully it’s time soon! It must be hard to be patient now that it’s getting so close to baby coming! I’m just so happy for you!
Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl says
Hey, watch what you say about Leos!! ;) Good luck at your doctor appt! Hope little sweet tooth makes an appearance soon!
Erin @Sugar Magnolia says
I was 5 days overdue so I know how frustrating it is! Every time I would call someone they would answer the phone by saying “Are you having the baby!?” So annoying!! Soon my dear (;
Courtney says
Haha, that’s so true! I have to preface basically any call/text I make right now :)
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats says
Hopefully BT makes his debut soon! Hang in there :)
Kaitlyn says
Fingers crosses that he comes soon!!! And as for the “two Leo’s”, my boyfriend and I are both Leo’s, and we live together and manage to make it work :) thinking of you!!!
Stephanie says
Hang in there. I know it sucks. I am not going to tell you anything else. I love those “cherish this time quotes” whatever. haha. Will be in Albany on saturday. I want to say there will be a baby by then but instead i will just say if you need anything just let me know. in the meantime hold on mommy to be
Courtney says
Thanks so much! :)
Cori @ olivetorun says
So excited for you and the family’s new addition. Best of luck with everything!

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Coooome on baby tooth!!
Parita says
You are such a trooper! Fingers crossed that your little man is in your arms very very soon!
Callie says
I know exactly what you’re going through. There are so many emotions that come with each day overdue. Frustration, anxiety, annoyance at everyone asking if anything’s changed, wanting the baby here but wanting to cherish every last second with hubby before things change. I was right there too. Praying for you and baby tooth!
Sarah @makingitmyhome.blogspot.com says
You must be so ready to meet your little guy!
Amy @ The Little Honey Bee says
And we wait… you’re becoming a patience pro! Hang in there :)
Pizza looks delish as per usual
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
I was hoping we would hear some baby news this morning, but he is a stubborn guy in there ;) Hoping everything goes well at the doctor and we get to “meet” your little guy soon!
Molly Petsch says
This is super last minute but have you gotten a sound machine? If not, check this one out. We got it as a gift for our son’s baptism and we still use it 9 months later.http://m.target.com/p/mybaby-by-homedics-soundspa-lullaby-relaxation-machine/-/A-10707864. You can have sound run all night and we use the projector to keep it dark and give him something to watch while we change his diaper in the middle of the night. Well worth the $25! Here’s hoping your little man makes his debut soon!
Courtney says
Thanks for the link! I may have to check that out!
Kristi says
I bet you are so excited to see that little one. Hopefully he’ll come soon. You are just making it to cozy in there for him. He doesn’t want to leave :)
Melanie @ BeautifullyNutty says
Hang in there sweetheart!!!
Nicole says
Wishing you all the best in these next few days! :)
BakingSuit says
What a lovely weekend…minus the grumpies of course!
Melissa says
Looks like a relaxing weekend, overall, with some goods eats! Good luck with the non-stress test, here’s hoping today’s the day!
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
Oh, you poor thing! I was hoping to read that you had gone into labor by now.
Hang in there, we’ve all got our fingers crossed that he comes today for you.
Danica @ It's Progression says
I hope your appointment this morning goes well!
I had no idea that the royal baby was due soon too – I haven’t kept up on that stuff!
FitBritt@MyOwnBalance says
What’s movie 42 about? I rented Admission over the weekend, which was funny and cute, and Pitch Perfect, which was hilarious! Loved it! Hope that babe comes soon!
Courtney says
It was about Jackie Robinson, the baseball player. GREAT movie!
Annette@FitnessPerks says
C’mon Baby Tooth!!!! :)
I LOVED the movie “42”. SUCH a great movie. Loved it.
Hope all goes well today!
Tiff @ Love Sweat & Beers says
Eager and excited for some baby news! :) Pool time + Pizza = Great weekend (at least in my opinion ;) )
Chelsea @ LittleOneRuns says
I seriously love the smell of BBQ-ed pizza versus oven baked. It just smells and taste completely different! Hope your appointment goes well! And I hope we see a little Baby Tooth soon :)
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
That pizza looks SO darn good!!! And I am still holding out hope for today…I just have a feeling ;).
Rachel says
I’ve been stalking your Instagram all weekend! haha! Come on baby tooth :)
Abbie says
Will you share some of your grilled pizza tips? Do you do everything on the grill or just the crust? Hang in there with baby Tooth!
Courtney says
It’s a much older post, but here’s how we do them! http://sweettoothsweetlife.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/pizza-on-the-grill/
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
It will just be a short time now! I can’t imagine how excited and nervous you must be. I’m thinking of you today :) Good luck!
Miranda @ Miranda Runs says
I just want you to have the baby already!!! I am not a patient person!!! :)
Courtney says
LOL – you and me both! ;)
Lauren says
I can’t imagine your emotions right now since you just want the little guy to get here!!! It will be soon, don’t worry! :D I can’t wait to see him! Thankfully, you have a great husband and great friends who understand what you’re going through!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Ahh, such a waiting game!! I’ve been keeping an eye on Twitter for updates, it would be kind of awesome if your little guy had a royal birthday ;-) Glad that your husband and friends have been getting through the waiting period!
Nicole @ fruitnfitness says
Dear baby Tooth, it’s time to hurry yourself up! Your momma is excited to meet her healthy happy baby. Courtney, it looks like you had a good weekend while waiting for the baby to come, grilled pizza sounds wonderful.
Kerry says
Come oonnnn baby!! That pizza looks amazing, i’ve been craving pizza lately!

Ashlee@HisnHers says
Hang in there! You’re soooo close!
Nala says
Hi Courtney I’m sure Baby Tooth is bound to make his appearance any day now! Just keep strong and it will happen in good time = ) It would be super cool if Baby Tooth was born on the same day as the Royal Baby!!
Jolynn @ Lift Pray Love says
That’s one stubborn little boy!!
Kelsey Yoki says
Sending well wishes your way! My sister was a few days past her due date when she had my niece. He will make his appearance so very soon! How exciting for you and Jay!
char eats greens says
Hope baby comes soon for you. I know when my due date hit and still no baby, I did get antsy, so hopefully you don’t make it to a week overdue like I did!! Little stinker!!!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Those pizzas looks sooooo Good! I have yet to master pizzas on the grill.
Lauren says
Haha I got so excited when I saw the beginning of this post…I can’t believe you still haven’t gone into labor yet! That’s so crazy. It would be awesome, though, if your baby boy shared a birthday with the royal baby!
Olivia @ Liv Lives Life says
Best of luck to you – I hope he comes soon! :-)
Emily @ Perfection Isn't Happy says
Today’s my birthday, so I might share a birthday with your little one…and maybe the royal baby — that would be cool!
Holly says
C’MON little man!! Don’t you know how desperate we ALL are to meet you!?!?!?!?!? :D
Serena says
I know how you feel. I’m 41w 2d…. Emotional outbursts are part of the package. Good luck to you and Jay!
Courtney says
Thank you…same to YOU!
Brittany @ Balance and Bananas says
Mmmmm I seriously need to invest in some kodiak cakes because those look just too damn good to pass up on! Also, those pizzas?! Look to die for!! Sounds like you had a great weekend :)
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine says
You are SO cute. I hope he comes soon!
Amanda @ Pink Runner Girl says
I bet you are just itching for him to get out! Your weekend looked nice and relaxing!
Hillary | Nutrition Nut on the Run says
Sending you as much comfort as possible during the last stretch. I think the little bugger will be here in 48hrs or less!
Christy says
It’s been said that what got you into this predicament will also get you out of it. Hint hint. Worked for us. Good luck!
Courtney says
Haha, glad it worked for you because it doesn’t for us!
Christy says
Has your doc offered to strip your membranes? Our doc had a number of trucks she said we could try before we hit 41 weeks. Sorry to hear you are still hanging in there. I know the anxious feelings you must have. Our boy did come a week early but I walked around dilated for 3 wks always wondering when it was going to happen. He came around the change in the moon.
Christy says
Tricks* dang smart phone…
Courtney says
Yep – they actually did that on Friday. Apparently Baby Tooth is coming on his own time!
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
As soon as I heard about the royal baby, I was like, man, Courtney must be jealous right about now! At least you had a fun weekend. He’ll be here soon!
Brooke @ Running In Heels says
GOOD LUCK LADY! Hang in there, the time will come before you know it! :)
Kelly @ Femme Fitale says
“Despite some emotional outbursts…” :) hahah
How long does the pizza take to grill? I’ve never cooked one on the bbq, but it seems like a great idea!
Courtney says
Not long at all – maybe 20-30 minutes when all is said and done? Here’s a super old post on how we do it: http://sweettoothsweetlife.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/pizza-on-the-grill/
Michelle @ Peanut Butter and Running Shoes says
I was hoping for some baby news! Hang in there!
Gina @ Health, Love, and Chocolate says
That breakfast setup looks wonderful. Cereal + coffee + a magazine = perfection.
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Come on out baby tooth!!!
Arimey says
Ironically enough, we shared two meals this weekend! The hubby and I went to Jose Malone’s Friday night and split the BLT quesadilla (so, SO good) and Saturday morning we had Kodiak cakes with blueberries – too funny :)
I was really hoping for some Baby Tooth news this morning with the royal baby and all. Fingers crossed he’s out soon!!
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily says
At least you’re still in a good mood ;) Baby will be here soon, I hated the waiting/wondering game!! Sending labor vibes your way!!
Ellie@Fit for the soul says
aw man, haha! I had a feeling you were going to mess with us but I still fell for it! :P So excited for you guys!
Sarah @ A Refining Adventure says
I can’t believe he swam a mile’s worth of laps! Wow! Your grilled pizzas always look so good. Fingers crossed for a baby soon!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
Oh, goodness! Come on baby! Give your beautiful mama a break.
I swear it got easier after the pregnancy ended (at least with Braedon). I could actually sleep again (even if only for a couple hours at a time it was more than I was) and just FELT so much better after the first initial week of recovery. Hope you’re holding that precious one soon!
