1. Well my friends, we have officially made it to Baby Tooth’s due date! And you want to know what I’m doing? I’ll be heading in to work later this morning. I know you’re jealous. Let’s hope it’s the last day!
2. Jay and I did have an appointment this morning, including another ultrasound. Chubster is looking as cute as ever (oh man, I’m already becoming that mom) and even scored an A+ on his “exam.” But yet, I’m still just a measly 2cm dilated. Right now he’s measuring about 7lbs 14oz…okay, I can handle that!
3. Last night Jay and I went out for ice cream at The Snowman and then came back home and swam (aka doggy paddled and floated for me) in the pool for about a half hour. It was such a great way to spend the evening!
4. Surprisingly enough, I feel like this ridiculous heat wave hasn’t been all that awful for me. Everyone keeps asking, “OMG how are you dealing with this heat?!” Honestly, I feel like it’s no worse than if I wasn’t preggo. Either way, it’s hot…but I am lovin’ our central air these days, that’s for sure!!
5. I think I’m officially in “I’m gonna eat whatever I want right now” mode. And it’s basically all carbs. Pasta for dinner last night (with ice cream after). A toasted bagel with butter the night before that. And this morning I’m totally planning on grabbing a couple blueberry munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. No shame at all. Bring on the good stuff.
6. I can’t believe how excited you guys are over the Reebok giveaway! Love it! Keep those entries comin’…winner headed out way sometime tomorrow. Maybe? ;-)
7. Alright I think that’s all I’ve got for this morning. Keep sending me those baby vibes my friends!! Happy Friday!
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
So excited for you! I’ve now started checking randomly for news on your little one as well as the royal baby ;)
Nala-S says
LOL, Natalie – I’v been checking on news on Baby tooth as well as the royal baby! Wouldn’t it be cool if Baby Tooth and the Royal Baby were born on the same day? Just sayin…
Nikki Finn says
I cant wait for your baby to come. This is my 1st comment over here but I have been following you for some time. I am now 32 week with my little girl Elishka (Czech name) :) I cant wait for her to come to meet her father and her older brother :) I hope your birthgiving will be as short as it can be :) With no complications. And of course I wish your baby likes its new world :)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Baby vibes are being sent continuously!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
So excited for that little booger to come! I think, at this point, you have a free hand to eat whatever you want. Go crazy ;)!
Emily @ The Good Era says
Sending you LOTS of positive baby vibes!!! Have a great (hopefully exciting) weekend :)
Jessica @ Prayers and Apples says
Enjoy the carbs! :) …Sending baby vibes your way!! :)
Lisa says
Sending you some baby vibes today and during the weekend!!!! Can’t wait for him to finally arrive!
Totally no shame in the eat whatever you’d like thing.
Bring on the food at this point in the game;)
Hope you have a great weekend – hopefully one that brings an extra addition to the family!
Sarah @ Blonde Bostonian says
Enjoy those munchkins!!!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I am still predicting Monday, but for your sake I hope that it is earlier!! ;)
Melissa says
Thinking of you today! Yum, ice cream sounds like the ideal treat, especially today, in the midst of a heat wave! Great way to cool off!
Sherri says
C’mon Baby Horan!
Glad the heat isn’t getting to you, especially now that you’ve hit your due date and there’s already enough discomfort involved. I’m just over 33 weeks with my baby girl and I am DYING. I used to be constantly freezing so being hot is definitely a change for me. I have a furnace attached to my body! Needless to say, I have been keeping our local froyo shops in business!
Stacey M. says
Here’s to hoping Baby Tooth makes his appearance soon! So excited to finally “meet” that bundle of joy – I honestly feel like I’m waiting for one of my friends to have a baby!
And there is absolutely no shame in enjoying the foods you love. I know you’ve said that you’re aware you will probably reign in your eating a bit after Baby Tooth is born, but I just hope you also realize it’s OK to keep enjoying the foods you love after you deliver. It’s so nice to hear about the progress you’ve made in your relationship with food thus far – I hope to continue to see that in your posts. It’s so freeing to just let go and truly eat intuitively! I’m sure you’ll handle it all just fine.
Nicole says
I hope Baby Tooth comes soon!
BTW totally acceptable to carbo-load before the BIGGEST workout of your life. RIGHT? :)
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
I won’t be around blog land or on social media much this weekend so you better text me if you go into labor!!!! Sending positive vibes your way my friend! xoxo
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
Come on Baby Tooth!! He sounds like he’s going to be perfect. Hope he comes soon!
Taren says
Eeeee so exciting! You’ve done such a great job at keeping healthy all of your pregnancy so I say go for it, enjoy all the treats you want haha you’ve earned it. Can’t wait to see your little fam all together soon! :-)
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says

FitBritt@MyOwnBalance says
I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to meet your little guy! :)
Lauren says
I think you should have your munchkins with a side of pineapple. Maybe a pineapple smoothie. And pineapple ice cream with pineapple topping. And why not add some pineapple to your dinner side dish as well, right?! ;) I can’t wait to see the little guy!!!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
Sending labor thoughts your way! My guess is for Sunday!
Angela @ Health's Angel says
Heck yes! You enjoy those carbs. We’re all sending baby vibes your way! Keep bouncing on that exercise ball… :)
Beverly Aragon says

Krystan says
Loved the last few days when I decided to say screw it, I’m eating WHATEVER I want! :) Maybe its a sign you are right around the corner :) I was only 1cm when my water broke so don’t lose faith!
Karen says
Sending LOTS of baby vibes your way…I know what it’s like seeing your due date just pass right by. Enjoy your day!!
Miranda @ Miranda Runs says
Ahhh you’re going to be such an amazing mom! I can’t believe the due date is actually HERE!! I wish I had a pool… seriously though! :)
Lindsay @ Fit with Farrar says
Been thinking of you Courtney!! I’m almost 39 weeks and am very anxious to meet my boy too….also been on a carb obsession!! Weird!!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
sending lots of positive vibes your way that baby tooth comes soon!! I can’t wait to see and meet the little guy :)
Ashlee@Hisnhers says
I love #5! You’re making a BABY! That’s tough work…and miserable at this point. Do whatever it takes to make it bearable! Carbs included ;-)
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Lots of baby vibes your way!! And I’m pretty sure at this point, you CAN and SHOULD eat whatever you want! :)
Amanda @ Pink Runner Girl says
7 lbs 14 oz!! How perfect!! You deserve all the carbs you want. Keep em coming. Obviously the baby wants those blueberry munchkins. I mean he’s a munchkin eating munchkins…right?
Alexandra says
Go eat some Thai food for dinner and see if that speeds things up ;)
Tara@PNWRunner says
Any day/time/minute now right?!! I bet it is nerve racking but exciting all at the same time. We had an awful heat wave the summer that I was born. Apparently, my mom was miserable! I am glad it isn’t bothering you too much!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Hopefully by Monday Baby Tooth will have arrived…sending the vibes! Floating in the pool sounds like heaven…we’re having our own mini heat wave in Ireland right now..unheard of 30C – 86F…no air con pretty much anywhere but the gym. We’re all melting!
Annette@FitnessPerks says
He’ll be here before you know it–sending good vibes your way!!! <3
Yes, yes, loving the giveaway, so pick me, please?! :) hehe.
Ice cream is the beeessstt!
Ellie@Fit for the soul says
LOL, I think we all get that “MOM THING” going on because we’re so proud of our little babies~It’s truly a strange thing! :P And enjoy all that food Courtney! Never tried Dunkins, but I do live in Cali where I don’t think there are any to be found, after all.
Xai says
You need to eat all the carbs so you have energy to have a baby, of course! Best wishes!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Yay, it’s getting so close! I can’t wait to see pictures of your little guy! He is going to be such a beautiful baby! :) :)
Stacey M. says
To those of you who mentioned you are/were lovin’ on the carbs right before going into labor … Maybe it’s your body’s way of “carb-loading” for the big event (i.e. labor)??? LOL, just a thought …
Nala-S says
Hi Courtney – Hoping Baby Tooth will make his appearance soon and that you will have a great weekend!! – Thanks to all your pictures of Ice Cream – I went to get myself some too!!!
Jasmine says
Hope Baby Tooth comes this weekend- sending some vibes your way! :)
Katie says
Ahh!! Hope that baby boy is here soon :) I was so incredibly anxious and ended up being a week overdue and totally was in that “I’m eating whatever I want mode” I ate enough carbs to feed a small army ;)
Patty says
Hope baby gets here soon. Have a great weekend and good luck :)
Kristi says
He’s going to be here before you know it. So exciting!
sarah @ A Refining Adventure says
Baby vibes coming at you! Your carbs sound yummy!
Laura A. says
Hi Courtney! I’ve never commented on your blog before but have been following you for nearly a year! I’m so excited for you to have your baby!!! I had my first baby two months ago and am really enjoying it despite the crazy lack of sleep. Praying that your labour and delivery goes well and that you get to meet your little man soon!
Kerry says
Oo I’m so excited for you to have baby Horan! :O
I didnt have too much of the waiting game but i can imagine its hard!
