Almost done. . .

Okay, so Mike is almost done with busy season!!! Elsie and I are still alive, and more importantly, so is Mike. He has been working crazy hours, which we knew would happen, and he is finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. He might even come home in time for dinner once this week (that hasn't happened since February). There are a lot of days where Elsie doesn't get to see her dad, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. Whenever he is around she wants nothing to do with me. I can handle that because it is so much fun to watch them play together!

Let's see, I am also 33 weeks pregnant now. Feeling huge and loving it! Well, not all the time, but most of the time I feel great. I'm still coaching volleyball and I have a whole bunch of protective girls to keep me from diving at practice. I'm pretty sure Elsie still has no idea what is going on. When I try to show her that there is a baby in my tummy, she just wants to pull on my belly button that sticks out telling me "the turkey is done" and has been since February. :)

I haven't been diligent about taking pregnant pics this time, but I did make Mike take one after I finished sewing a new skirt so it's a two in one photo:
So this was me at 31 weeks wearing by far the most comfortable item of clothing I can wear. Thus I wear it a lot and people probably think I'm weird but I'll keep wearing it as long as I need to. :)
Here is a comparison picture of when I was 32 weeks pregnant with Elsie. Not exact, but I'll take what I can get.

As for an update on Elsie:
-She now sleeps in a "big girl bed" like a champ
-She does all the warm ups with my volleyball girls (high kicks, burpees, running laps, etc.)
-She thinks she coaches my team and every time we are in a huddle she puts her hand up in the air the whole time waiting for the "break" at the end
-She throws temper tantrums that definitely come from Mike's gene pool, I would never do that!
-She is super talkative and will make friends with anyone older than her. When she comes to younger kids I'm afraid to say she is the bully because she is just too loving. If our little boy survives the first 2 months of life, he will be one tough dude!
-She climbs everything.
-She loves to tickle people.
-Brushing her teeth is one of her favorite things to do in the morning.
-She giggles and gives me kisses the entire time she falls asleep for her naps when I lay down with her and it is by far the best part of my day!

That's all for now!
