Well, friends, here is the promised belly shot at almost 38 weeks...
Notice my little friend, who wanted to show you his "angry face" that he's been working on for some time. lol. He and his little sister were having fun running in and out of the shots...
Next up, we have one of our soccer stars, sporting his newest accomplishment--losing his first tooth! Only took 7 years and 2 months, but here we are! M has been working on his lower middle two teeth for some time now and the adult teeth have actually already come in behind (think sharks!). Little brother, T, helped the tooth out during an afternoon living room football skirmish... T felt so bad--"Did I help or did I hurt?" was his main question. So sweet. Little does he know how much he helped me. We had an appt. scheduled for tomorrow with the dentist to pull the little suckers. Now mama has a free lunchtime and doesn't have to drag the crew to the office!! Thank you, dear Lord. Yet another blessing just in the nick of time saving my sanity!
Our happy toothless man, who made $1 from the tooth fairy last night. We're setting the monetary bar low--MANY teeth yet to be lost in our household! ;)
Our Saturday ended up turning out much more jovially than I had initially expected--GG was able to cheer on both soccer games. The boys played brilliantly. M is having an especially good season, helping on both offense and defense and really showing an understanding for the game. His coach thinks its time for him to take the leap into a quasi-travel program next fall. We'll see...
Later in the day, GG and our wonderful friend/neighbor, Tom, outfitted our garage with a "new" fridge and cabinets from a kitchen project he was working on. Our garage looks so good--finished product photos to come once we rid ourselves of the extra cabinets. We finished the day with a fun BBQ at our house with Mimi and Papa. Always a joy to see them!
I awoke today feeling really nauseous and fatigued, which had us initially worried, but after an afternoon snooze and a fun outing with the kids to farewell friends of ours moving to Atlanta (miss you, L Family!), the weekend came to a satisfying close. I'm now trying to get my ducks in a row for these remaining two weeks as GG anticipates being busier than ever... Ho hum! Such is the life of a corporate attorney!! I'm just hoping Baby G holds out until her daddy slows down...
Overall, God is good and we are well. What else can a mama ask for?
Blessings to you at the start of a new week,

You're looking great, B-mama!
So glad that GG was able to join y'all at the soccer field. I know it was good for all of your souls for him to be able to be there.
Rest when you can, friend...I know, easier said than done...
I thought M looked especially like Papa in his photo taken with THE TOOTH! I think $1 is perfect for the tooth fairy!! :)
Enjoy your free lunch time!
So excited to see M sans tooth! Blessings abound in G-Ville. We can't wait to meet baby G, but have a lot to accomplish before the blessed arrival. Slow down, please? Help is on the way, however. We're trying to get there sooner than later!!
You look way too good to be so far along! As always, I enjoy your posts:)
I am so impressed that you are still able juggle sweet MG and J on your lap. You share your lap like you share your love! Looking fabulous, B-Mama!
Ahh, the corporate lawyer thing followed us to the hospital while I was in labor-no escaping it ever! I am happy to hear how well you are- wishing I could help more these last weeks.
You look beautiful and so little still! How wonderful to get new cabinets for the garage- that has to warm your nesting heart. :) Yes, and we also tried to keep the tooth fairy money on the low side- when M heard that his friend got $5 for his tooth he was waaaay confused! :)
