We have been on a field trip to Richmond to take some family portraits!!
Behold, our baby’s face : )
He had his hands up by his face most of the time, but we got several clear shots. It was a fun experience! I will actually have a video to share too – pending! And a few more photos – including a nice smirk : )
I went on a walk this morning and before we left on our trip, snacked on some Matt Cracks. Although these were not made by my husband, but Matt B, our employee who also writes a blog. Thus the recipe is here!
When we got to Richmond aka RVA (!) we went into Trader Joe’s to kill 15 minutes and pick up some DHA for the baby and sunflower butter for me! Smoked trout for lunch soon!
Our next stop was lunch – at Good Foods Grocery!
To meet our friends Brittany and Isaac on their lunch break! Always fun to get together with these two. Brittany and I talk blogs, babies and weddings and Isaac and Matt talk beer : )
Good Food serves a bunch of raw/vegan/veggie/organic foods so we piled up on the nutrients
Brittany and I both got Living Salads with a scoop of cottage cheese, crackers, beets, walnuts and apples.
The cottage cheese on top was SO unique – in a good way! It was almost like a cottage cheese salad where they had mixed in celery and walnuts and then chopped up the curds some. I thought it was a mock cottage cheese at first! But we asked at the end and it was actually Organic Valley. The salad was great – I ate about 2/3 and passed the rest to Matt.
Veggie juice on the side!
Matt had a tempeh Reuben –
Our appointment was next – 3D times with the baby! Even more than his profile, it was awesome to get to see his orientation in there. Now I realize why I get all my kicks on the right side – and his butt under my ribs all the time!
And then we hit the road home. Richmond seems to far away but that drive to Short Pump is nothing!
Upon our arrival, we stopped by the bakery for a zucchini bread tasting – today’s was an improvement on yesterday’s lemon version plus a cheesy cornbread version that was pretty darn good! I was still full from lunch, so I only had a bite of each.
Home on the range and chillin’ before a dinner party tonight!

Cheesy cornbread zuke bread?! Goodness gracious! Love your shirt…where’s it from?

Motherhood Maternity 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That is so cool re: the photos! And the salad.. oh yum! I recently discovered I actually like beets, and have been putting them in heaps of my salads too. I also made an amazing beet hummus that I was skeptical about at first but it’s actually divine! Here’s the recipe: http://eat-spin-run-repeat.com/2012/06/21/dinner-time/
Have a great dinner party tonight!
Michelle (Peachy Palate) says
That salad looks incredible! I will definitely be making something similar soon! 3D scans are so amazing!
Trainer Kjirsten @ Balanced Healthy Life says
I love the 3D picture! It is amazing how much your baby will look just like the pictures! I was blown away when we had our daughter and she indeed looked just like her 3D pictures!!!
Betsy says
How cool to get 1st images of KERF baby! You are so cute with your little belly. I was just thinking of how fun this blog is going to be to read with a new family member! I visited that litte grocery store when I was in cville last (after a fabulous lunch at Hot Cakes!) and I had the most tasty on tap Kombucha! Wish I had one right now. Can’t wait to see more pics.
Janelle says
Maybe this is in my head, but I totally think he looks like you already!
KathEats says
Haha aw thanks. There are so many things about 3D that make the photos hard to read – focus, umbilical cords, angles – but I hope he looks like us!
Katie says
I agree! I totally see the resemblance 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
cheesy cornbread sounds delicious to me! And how cool you can see your baby’s face!!!
Johanna B says
Kath, he’s a cutie!!!
Emily Butler says
Definitely going to have to try that cracker recipe, I was just thinking an hour ago that I needed something crunchy to eat but had nothing in the house! And that salad looks so good!!
Kelley says
So so cute!!! He is adorable! If his hands are up by his face already, get ready for some baby swaddles when he gets here! They’ll probably stay up even after he’s born, as we found out. Too cute. You look great! Happy Big Mama club. =)
Cait's Plate says
What a great afternoon! I love Brittany 🙂
And that’s so crazy what a clear picture you can get of your baby’s face!! He looks like a little cutie 🙂
Sunflower butter is most definitely an essential – glad you were able to stock up!
Brittany says
I bet it was so fun getting to see the little one’s face. Technology is amazing!
I’m glad we got to meet up for lunch. I see what you’re saying about Isaac and I looking alike – I think the button up shirts made us look even more similar today. 🙂
And, I’ve already tried the zucchini bread and it’s really good. I love the crunchy top and edges.
KathEats says
I love that photo of you two!!
And glad you like the bread!! They went with the lemon one for sales and I’m sad because the crunchy top was my favorite part!
Molly @ RDexposed says
How fun! What comes next after the development of 3D pictures?? Arts and crafts coming from baby in utero?
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Awww fun! You got to see your baby’s face! HOW cool is that?! 🙂
Randy says
That is an awesome picture of your baby boy, he looks so happy and content.
I noticed that the winner on “Jeapardy” last night was a man from C-Ville, VA. I can’t remember his name but he did well on the show.
Have a great evening!
KathEats says
Haha fun!! We were just named America’s Brainiest City by The Atlantic – coincidence!? http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/06/americas-brainiest-cities/2132/
Randy says
I think I misspelled “Jeopardy” in my last post. 🙂
Elisabeth says
Brittany & Isaac could practically be twins! Can’t wait to see some video of Baby Kerf 😉
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Zuchinni bread looks sooo good! First I have heard of 3D images…very cool! Gosh, how times change!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
being able to see my baby when I was pregnant was THE HIGHLIGHT of the entire pregnancy! it’s almost as good as holding them…but at 30 weeks, it’s like the best gift ever! Congrats 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
The 3D portrait is crazy! It’s so crazy to me to see how far technology has come. It’s like you’ve nearly met your little guy already!
Patrick Timpone says
How exciting about your baby. When are you due? Is that Organic Pastures raw cheese right underneath your baby picture? That snack looks delicious!
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says
What an amazing day and you got to see your precious baby’s face! Just beautiful! So happy for you!
Jennifer says
What a great pic of his face! I think his eye looks like Matt and his nose and mouth look like you. 🙂 What a cutie he is.
Carly says
He is so cute! This might just be because I already know he’s a boy, but he looks so boyish! Congratulations! So exciting :-).
Karen says
I had a strong feeling your adventure involved some baby photography…he’s sure a cutie, as are you in that flattering t-shirt – I tell ya, that bright melon shade is your color 🙂
Sarah says
How did Matt like his lunch? I’ve been wanting to try a tempeh reuben when I see them on menus but am unsure if I’d like it or not.
KathEats says
He says “it was awesome!”
Eileen says
Baby pics!! And that cottage cheese salad looks wonderful. I make a Polish cottage cheese salad called salatka (“salad” in Polish–super original, I know), with radishes and green onion. So good!
Ashley @ Hudson on the Potomac says
Cheesy cornbread zucchini bread?! Yum!! The 3D picture is so neat!
Michaela says
I actually made my first sunflower seed butter today and was thinking about you 🙂
Sooo easy to make at home!
Kel says
That may be the cutest photo of you taken this whole pregnancy…I am referring to the one sitting at the table. Adorable.
Little baby is just precious! Amazing the technology advances in the last 15 years!
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
oh that salad looks so fresh and good, I love beets!!
Angel7 says
Oh my… I cannot believe what technology can show you! That is amazing!

The baby looks like he’s a sculpture…so cool what they can do now. The salad looks incredible, now my mind is working on adding things to cottage cheese!
Carla says
YOUR BABY’S FACE!! I was SO thrilled to see this – how cool they can do this now???!
Sara says
Love Good Food Grocery! I work near the area and am often that way for lunch. 🙂 (And I love TJ’s!) Glad you had a good day in RVA!
Julia H. @ Going Gulia says
Never heard of Good Foods Grocery. Is it like a Whole Foods + a restaurant? That food you had for lunch looks REALLY good, so I’ll try to keep my eye out for this place!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Cheesy zucchini cornbread? Oh man, I’d love a recipe for that 🙂
