Second Trimester and the Vegas Experience

Thank you Dave, Hilary, and Larry for a fabulous weekend!!!!!!

I'm waiting in the airport for my flight to return home to San Diego and must admit that I am completely over doing a paper for SDSU and would instead prefer to share my fabulous Vegas weekend! I'm tired and a bit grumpy right now, but I had so much fun. We stayed in a beautiful room on the 31st floor of the Wynn, with a view of the strip and the golf course. The bathroom was amazing and I was sad to leave behind the huge tub that provided some relaxing bubble baths.

Food continues to make me very very happy. We had two fabulous dinners; one at Restaurant Charlie and one at Bradley Ogden. The food, the service, and the company were more than I could ever ask for! If I have not gained at least 10 pounds this weekend, I will be very surprised. ; ) We saw Cirque du Soleil's "Love" (aka Beatles goodness!). It was amazing and I was even more envious of the acrobatic skills since I am less graceful and limber these days.

Gambling was kept to a minimum. Hilary introduced me to "Mr. Cashman" which made absolutely no sense to me, but kept me entertained at least! =) Plus, the smell of cigarettes and cigars is less than appealing to me these days so I spent little time in the casino. It also amazes me how less amusing drunk people are when I have to refrain from the ever-flowing cocktails. Go water! Because of all the water intake, Lil Lui encouraged me to visit almost every bathroom in every casino we were in. Really, this whole peeing thing is starting to be REALLY annoying. After asking other mothers if this fabulous pregnancy symptom would get better, the response I get is, "Yeah, it'll get better....in 6 more months." 

*sigh* 6 more months and there will be a baby in my house. This is still so surreal to me! Time seems to be vanishing quickly, as does the ability to fit in my clothes. This is a sad transition to me but well worth it to make room for our son or daughter! I am staying up later these days (double digit hours baby!) so perhaps this is a sign that my energy will return in leaps and bounds!
