Rambling, Gambling and Vegas

Lets get the rambling out of the way, these are things that have been on my mind:

  • Realistically in as little as 7 weeks I could be a mother- kind of scary. 
  • I never appreciated how skinny I was until I got pregnant, my goal is to get back to relatively the same size and love myself even more.
  • Something to be proud of though, I have been able to rock pretty much the same size small pregnancy clothes through my entire pregnancy, have not made any purchases since the first trimester- yeah me.
  • Next week I go to more frequent Dr.'s visits, so definitely getting close
  • Last night I had a dream that I had Grayson, and it went just fine, didn't even hurt that much- was this a prophetic vision or wishful thinking?
  • Just purchased a baby sling, love it, a little girly, but what baby items aren't a little girly? Plus, I want as many unisex items as I can get my hands on so that I can use the same things with all my babies.
Okay ramblings are done. Today Scott and I head to Vegas, very excited to get away, I really need this vacation. We got a groupon to stay at Treasure Island, also purchase a buffet/show combo so we are going to Mystere Sunday night. Neither of us has ever been to a Cirque de Soleil show, so very much looking forward to this.

I also did a lot of research for this trip reading the 2012 travel guides for Vegas, and while the TI buffet is still not the talk of the town, it seems they have made some improvements, so my pregnant self is very excited for a night of gluttony.

We also got a $50 dining credit with our gift card, so we have to decide between the other TI restaurants where we want to go but I think we narrowed it down to either a steak house or mexican food.

Other than that we plan on relaxing relaxing relaxing. Oh and $50 each to gamble as we please. Since I lose my money no matter what I play, I am going to head to the place with the most excitement and the place where my money will last the longest- the cheap slots! I always look at that $50 as an additional hotel fee, and then I don't feel so bad losing my money, but when in Vegas, you have to do a little Vegas, and you never know when you might actually win something, and that prospect makes it exciting. I figure if I get up to $100 I will take my winnings and call things good.

Getting bigger in my middle areas, but nowhere else, I think my butt may be sagging a little these days but Scott denies any such thing.  For Valentines day the stake had a dinner and dance, and I danced for 1.5 hours straight, which made me really proud because I have not had much exercise this pregnancy, and I was still able to shake it pretty decently without getting winded, so maybe things wont be so bad for me after all.

Scott and I are narrowing down our choices on treadmills and should have one picked out by the end of the month, so once we get that I am going to try to walk an hour each day as they say it helps with labor and helps the baby come sooner rather than later, and since he is due during finals/graduation time, I figure the more help I can give him to come sooner, the better. As long as he doesn't come too soon, that is. Grayson, this is your mommy, please just come around 37-38 weeks, that would rock.
