Absolutely amazing. There’s no other way to describe it.
Yesterday afternoon, we had our final ultrasound and weekly prenatal appointment. I was so excited for it ALL day but was curious to see whether or not Baby Tooth would even cooperate on the ultrasound. Well, as you can see, he certainly cooperated. Those cheeks! Those lips!
Everything went great at the appointment, and here’s a few fun facts:
- Baby Tooth is in the 50th percentile for weight and is “guesstimated” to be about 6lbs 14oz right now – if he goes to 40 weeks, that would put him anywhere between high 7’s and low 8lbs.
- He’s still head down, but face up (I think part of the reason we got such good shots of him!). The doc said they prefer face down, but she didn’t seem worried about it at all.
- He has hair! The tech showed us the fuzzy part that was basically “floating in the fluid,” and she also informed us that he has “old man hair” – aka, not much on top, but a lot more around the rim of the head. This made both of us laugh, and I later found out after talking to my mom that both me and my brother had this when we were born. Who knew?!
- He’s quite scrunched up in there – the ultrasound showed at one point that he had one hand above his head, and his other hand was holding on to his little foot that was curled up into his body. It was adorable. And crazy. He also stuck his tongue out at us numerous times…little stinker. ;)
- I’m not dilated at all yet, but apparently my cervix is quite thin and he is very low…I’ll take that as a good sign!
So after our appointment yesterday, I’m pretty sure the two of us were just on Cloud 9. Not that we weren’t excited before, but after seeing such a “real” shot of him, we’re just so anxious and ready to finally meet him. We left the appointment and headed down the street to one of our favorite sub places (DiBella’s) to get some dinner.
The subs at DiBella’s are enormous, and totally delicious. Jay and I decided to go halvsies on a couple since we couldn’t decide between the two (Chicken Philly and Chicken BLT) and believe it or not, we each got a small sub. Yes, they’re smalls. I’m pretty sure their larges could feed a small army.
I was originally thinking I might be able to con him into going to see a movie afterward, but we both decided we had stuff to do at home and are saving the movie for the weekend. So we trekked it back home, and were greeted with a doorstep full of goodies!
A box of “mystery” flavors from Chobani. SO excited to dig in and try to figure out what the flavors are…
My new lens for my camera! Our friends Brook and Andrea have this lens and they take absolutely beautiful photos of their little ones. It’s quite a bit different from the lenses I currently have, so I think it might take some getting used to.
But I’ll just keep practicing with one of my favorite subjects for right now. ;)
Shortly after getting home, I suddenly found myself with a little extra energy, so I decided to take advantage and hit the treadmill for a walk.
You guys like my new kicks? I just got them a little over a week ago from my friends at Reebok and I’m already loving them.
They’re the Reebok ONE Series Cushion, and they actually aren’t even available until July 1st. But for those of you who may be in the market for some new shoes soon, here’s a little info for ya…
The shoe is built in 3 zones that address the specific needs of your foot as it moves through the gait cycle: heel strike, midstance, and toe-off. The different zones have corresponding densities in the midsole of the shoe and there are different materials in the upper. For example, you need more rigid, structured support around your heel but you need more breathable, flexible material in the forefoot.
The Reebok ONE Series Cushion is a shoe built for neutral runners. This means people who do not over-pronate.
For those people who do over-pronate and need a little more stability, we have the Reebok ONE Series Guide. The Guide is built the same way as the Cushion except for the fact that the Guide has a denser foam in the medial side of the midsole (under the arch of your feet) to help support the foot and help correct mild overpronation.
You can find them at Reebok.com.
Pretty snazzy, right? Although I still think my favorite shoe from Reebok is the Real Flex Transitions, these are definitely a close second. Light, comfy, and cute, to boot!
So after I finished up my walk, I headed back upstairs, only to be greeted by my crazy little furball doing acrobatics on the stairs.
Little guy cracked me right up.
And now, since this post is thoroughly ALL over the place, I figured why not end it on another little bit of a tangent…with a giveaway!
I’ve recently been the lucky recipient of quite a few “Love Drops” from Love Grown Foods, and I’m having a hard time keeping up. So I figured, rather than hoard all the goodies for myself, I’m gonna give some away a box of ALL FIVE FLAVORS to a lucky STSL reader. :)
To enter for a chance to win the box of “Love,” simply leave a comment on this post about something positive, nice, and fun. We all can always use a little extra positivity in our day anyways, right? Let’s spread some love of our own today! <–cheeseball alert, I know ;)
Leah says
Something nice….tomorrow’s Friday! Woohoo
Maggie says
It’s almost the weekend! You’re baby is going to be one cute boy! You can tell just by looking at those ultrasound pictures.
Angela @ Health's Angel says
I thoroughly believe that you are going to have the most adorable baby boy. You and Jay are such a nice-looking couple, so it makes perfect sense. :)
Those Reebok kicks look awesome. I’ve developed a workout shoe obsession over the past few months!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Ahhh so exciting!!! He is already quite a handsome little guy! ;)

Something nice..summer weather and no rain. We’ve had so much rain this June.
Haley S says
I’m making homemade ice-cream in my new ice-cream maker!! SO exciting!
Ciara says
I’ve got a vacation in Florida on deck next week that is making me awfully happy these days!
Claire says
Count your blessings today… Because we all have so much more than we deserve! I’ve been working with an impoverished community near Mexico for the past week, and despite their situations, these kids have so much joy and radiant happiness. It is an inspiration to me, and just goes to show that true joy comes from the heart and not from our possessions.
Rachel S. says
Everyday is a special occasion!
Especially when cute babies are involved.
Natalie says
The weekend is almost here and next week is the 4th of July!!
Danica @ It's Progression says
My first thought when I saw those pictures: “his cheeks!!” – ultrasounds just amaze me. So happy to hear you and the baby are both healthy and doing well! You’re getting so close to meeting him!
Ginnie says
I have been following your site for a while now and there’s not doubt you will be a great mom! You have great stories and wonderful advice…even if you think it’s cheesy ;) The fun part is yet to come!!!

Baby Tooth’s cheeks are the cutest thing ever! He is adorable. I can’t get over it!
Rachel F says

Today is a beautiful day and tomorrow I go on vacation!!
Julie says
Something nice…the pics of your ultrasound made me totally tear up and think wistfully back to when I was right where you are with my now 8 and 10 year old boys…it all goes so fast…LOVE how clear the pics were and can only imagine how awesome that must have been to see him so clearly on the screen :)
Sarah @ Blonde Bostonian says
I’ve been really stressed lately, and my boyfriend recently surprised me with flowers. But it was the way he surprised me that was so cute. I walked into our bedroom after work and while he’s lying on the bed he says to me “can you get me some socks?” Annoyed that I had to get up and get HIM socks, I opened the drawer and starting at me was a bouquet for flowers. His smile was so cute. Love him.
Julianne says
Positive: I’m feeling inspired to clean out and organize my whole kitchen. Started yesterday and it is so refreshing!
Also, I’m so excited for y’all! Baby Tooth has such sweet little cheeks and lips. Babies are so precious!
Hannah says
I just signed up for a 10K mud run with my sister. It should be a blast, I can’t wait!
Kathryn says
On another note, my son was born “sunny side up” (face up). The downside to that position is you tend to get back labor with it. Being part of a family of women who have back labor anyway, I had quite a bit of pain in my back when he was born. For the sake of your back, I’m hoping he turns for you before the big day!
Lauryn D says
Wow! The ultrasound pictures are so cool! He is sooooo cute! I am 14 weeks pregnant and can’t wait to find out what I am having and eventually get a 3D or 4D ultrasound to see what s/he looks like! So exciting!!
Abby says
Hope your day is still sunshiney! I’ve been wanting to try that granola forever but its never ended up in my grocery basket. :)

Alexa says
I’m going to the bahamas next month and flying for the first time!
Sarah C. says
I just made your granola blondies last weekend for my son’s 2 year old birthday party – they were awesome! Now I’m on a granola kick and these Love Grown granolas would hit the spot!
Something nice – my little one just turned 2 on Saturday! I think I love him a little more each day – I love watching him grow and hit more and more milestones!
Jessie Gipe says
Something positive: My hormone levels have rising. Kicking this HA’s butt one day at a time :)
Amanda says
Oh my goodness your baby boy is so cute!! So excited for you guys! Can’t wait til we all can meet him:)

Christie says
I only recently discovered your blog, but love reading your updates. I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant with our first little girl. It’s nice to “surround” myself with other fitness loving moms-to-be. I find so much encouragement and inspiration, knowing I’m not alone.
You are going to LOVE your new camera lens. I love my 40mm and 50mm Nikon lenses for my DSLR. They have enabled me to capture those precious details that other lens do not.
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
Oh gosh Court, I bet the ultrasound was just incredible! I wish we could’ve gotten a 4D ultrasound like that. I think I’m going to look for a place that does it for our next baby if I end up having the same doctor. Hunter has old man hair too – it cracks me up. We call it his little mullet. :) He’s starting to get more hair up top, but he still has quite a bit more near the bottom. So so so excited for you!
Kelsey says
those ultrasound pictures are amazing! So exciting!!
Celeste says
Your baby is beautiful and you are going to be a wonderful mother. My daughter is now 17 and I still think of her as my baby.
Laura says
What a cutie pie! Love the cheeks! My parents love to tell the story that when I was a baby they had to blow dry my many fat rolls after a bath so I wouldn’t get a rash.
Something fun…I’m going blueberry picking this weekend!
Melissa says
Oh my goodness! He is too precious, Courtney! Can’t wait to “meet” him ;) XO
Lindsey says
Your ultrasound is amazing! He looks so cute! I cannot wait to see mine in more detail, we are debating 3D since they cost extra here – regular ones are free.
Emily R. says
Happy pre- Friday :) your ultrasound photos are adorable! My sister is due any time now, she’s having a baby boy as well.. I can’t wait!! :)
Rachel says
The first positive thing that came to mind is the image of those adorable cheeks in the ultrasound! And thinking about all the loving and excited family that’s eagerly awaiting Baby Tooth!
Kristin says
I’m co-hosting a foster shower for my sister-in-law this weekend and I’m excited to see how supportive and loving our family and friends are towards two great people wanting to do something great for the world.

Suzanne @ Mixing It Up says
The baby tooth sono picture totally made MY day!!! However, you are giving me baby fever something bad!!!

Jacquelyn @justjacq.com says
those pictures are so cute! I love how he is holding his little face like “life is so tough, man.” My postivity are my non-scale victories! This week I actually wanted to work out everyday rather than feeling pressured to do so or like I was just dragging myself to do it because I knew I should. Yesterday was my off day and I intended to really take the day off by being a couch potato. Just as I laid down and get settled in with Mad Men I realized I’d rather go outside and do some yoga in the backyard. Because really, if you’re not doing downdog in your backyard, then you’re just not a good neighbor.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Those pictures are incredible! Little guy’s going to be melting all the ladies’ hearts, starting with his momma :) Something positive: the sun is shining, I have a hot cup of coffee sitting beside me, and my nails are painted a fun bright color that I cant help but smile at every time I look at them.
Sarah says
I hope I look like you when I am pregnant! You look so great!
Courtney says
I love that it’s summer because it seems to make everyone happier! I also love that we are name twins! :)
Katie @ A Full Plate says
Your little guy looks so cute! Can’t wait to his little face on the blog :)

Lots of fun things on the horizon!
Kristina says
My happy thought is that my hubbie (who has been out of town for work for TWO WEEKS) comes home!!! YAY!
Oh, and its obvious your little Baby Tooth is going to be the cutest thing EVER! Adorbs!
Elizabeth v says
I’m in my best friends wedding this weekend!
Ashlee @ A Step in the Right Direction says
I was not only 1cm dilated for a few weeks, so that does not mean anything when it comes to timing – when he is ready he will come :)
I love those shoes!

Laura says
We’re constantly reminded of all that’s going wrong in the world, but when you see a little face like that, you remember what life is truly about! Thanks for sharing those images, Courtney!

Kayla says
I can’t wait to see our up-close-and-personal ultrasound shots. Hubby and I are expecting twin girls just 4 weeks after you, so we’re close.
My positive thing? Spending a weekend at home, alone, with my husband. We just bought a house, moved and have had company so many weekends lately. Our jobs don’t really allow us to take a babymoon, so this is as close as it gets, and I couldn’t be more excited for the time with my guy.
Seema says
What a great post!! So happy for you and Jay :D Also, today marks exactly one month until my wedding :D :D
Lauren G. says
I got to see my son on the 3D/4D ultrasound yesterday. I even ate a candy bar and drank a soda beforehand to jazz him up! He has the chubbiest cheeks but wouldn’t move his arm from across his sweet face for us to get a great view! Congrats on your little one who will be here in no time! And yes it makes me happy that tomorrow is Friday and my baby boy is kicking away!
Nina says
My son just turned 1 this month so I’m getting really excited (and jealous) for you to enjoy the first year as much as I have!!! It just gets better and better everyday!!! I’m newly pregnant with #2 so I will be in your shoes again soon!
Maureen says

I live in Albany too and love it here. I’m trying to start a ‘blog’ of my own (kind of) and am trying to take 1 picture a day of beautiful things in my day-to-day life. This was 100% inspired by you and this blog because I thorougly enjoy reading it every day. Thank you!

Courtney:
The 3-D pictures are amazing aren’t they?! It so great to get images that clear and I can remember how very exciting it is to get those first glimpses of what your little miracle looks like.
And I DO like the shoes. I must confess I am a Nike/Asics girl from way back. My hubby used to forbid me to buy anything Reebok (he’s been devoted to Nike for like forever!). But since reading your blog I have snuck a few workout pieces into the closet :-) and I am seriously considering those shoes. The colors and style are great – fitness with a fashion forward flair – a good combination in my book!
Have a great end of the week! Jessica

Oh my gosh! I had NO idea that ultrasounds could get such an amazing picture of the baby!

Georgia @ Trying Something New says
I work at a baby store, and two parents came in today with their newborn (I’m talking less than a week old!). They looked tired and beat, and were wandering around the store aimlessly. I asked them if they needed help (they did) and ended up answering all their questions about cloth diapers, getting them a new stroller, and pointing them to other stores that could help them out. The mom started to tear up, and I asked her if everything was alright. She said “We’re so new at this, and you’ve really gone out of your way to help answer our questions, thank you so much.” Her gratitude really touched me.
Maddie says

i wish i could post a picture because i work at an animal clinic and we had the CUTEST golden retriever puppy come in that we had to do surgery on. we basically saved his life because he other vet misdiagnosed him. he was SO adorable though and it was so nice to have him around the clinic, reminds me of what i choose this field and how much i love it!! but aren’t puppies just the best thing ever!

If you’re having a bad day, just remind yourself that it can always be worse! Chin up, buttercup! :)
Katie M says
I motivated myself to clean my kitchen today, and now I get so happy when I enter it. Everything is spic ‘n span and organized. It’s amazing what a little soap and decluttering can do for the psyche!
Ashley says
Love the pictures!! It’s almost Friday and the rain held out today. Woo hoo!
Meg says
I’m excited to see my family this weekend!
Erin says
I’ve been having some boy trouble lately (I’m 36, why do they still act like boys at this age?!?!) and my girlfriends have been such a HUGE source of support for me. They make me smile =)
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
That ultrasound picture is SO cute!
I love my chiropractor, we just click and he gets me without me having to SAY anything. It’s crazy. He pushes me to get back into my field and pursue my dreams, while also trying to make sure I’m taking care of myself. Just yesterday he reminded me I need to find some motivation to keep working towards my dreams and that I need to get some love in my life. It made me laugh but also brought a huge smile to my face. :)
Carriepurchase says
I’ve never tried Love Grown, but have wanted to! Good luck with the new lens!
Megan Cardillo says
Tonight I had a girls night with 3 close friends! The food was amazing (we got 5 different things to split and some delicious vino) AND my old roomie just got engaged last week so there was lots of lovey and exciting things to chat about :)
Elena Vo says
My tomato plants produced THREE delicious yellow tomatoes for lunch today! They took so much work because of the dry spell we had plus the random thunders in May.
Maggie says
So excited for you! Something amazing: putting my one year old niece to bed tonight as she giggling to herself about puppies and says “lub you” :) I love Love Grown foods and we can’t get it in the store in MN!
Harriet says
How’s this for positive and fun? I’m 22 weeks along with our first baby (a boy!), and whenever my husband talks to the baby, the little one kicks more actively. My husband is one of the best people I know, and the baby seems to already know that. :)
Jess says
Here’s something positive and fun: This week I’ll be celebrating my engagement with an engagement thrown by my future in-laws in my fiance’s hometown. So excited!
Jess says
*I meant engagement party (obviously)!
Angelee says
Oh your baby boy is so so cute! It’s crazy with technology that you’re actually meeting him before meeting him, ya know? I LOVE seeing people so happy and healthy. You’re right. Positivity is spread through sharing- so thanks for always sharing!
Karin says
I’m a medical student on a rotation on Ob/Gyn – one of my patients today had 3 previous miscarriages but our intervention has brought her latest pregnancy to full term! She seemed so happy that it was contagious!

Something positive: I am starting my first “real world” post-college job on Monday!

I LOVE that you’re giving away granola! No, really… it’s all about the little things, right?
Ok, and yes, i am also loving that it’s Friday :)
Katie says
I have that same lens and i LOVE it! I took a class one Sunday afternoon to be able to take my camera off auto and I’ve been able to take some great shots with it…only downside is that it doesn’t zoom in or out so you have to move to get closer or further from things which can be tough depending where you are.
Amy says
Mmmm would love to taste the love!!!!
Marin says
How exciting! Congratulations and enjoy this exciting time!
Heather @fitncookies says
