Our vacation review!

We arrived in Vegas around 9:50 a.m. (mountain time) and then preceded to baggage claim and then onward to the car rental location (which is off site from the airport). We spent another hour in line at Avis. Seriously why do company thinks it's okay only to have 3 people working the front desk when there are 20 people standing in line. And we aren't talking about just a 5 minutes talking deal, we are talking about 10 or 15 minutes to get all the paperwork in order. So after waiting for close to an hour (calling Heather/Milt about us arriving, telling them we may be longer. blah blah, we finally got the car, which was a four door Hyundai (piece of crap). We arrived at Harrah's were I was happy to find out that we could check in early. Yeah thank you! We unloaded and then called H/M to tell them we were in the Casino. The first part of Saturday we spent in the casino playing on the slot machines. Saturday evening we meet Chris and Shelly at the Stratosphere for dinner at Top of the World. Awesome view we had of Las Vegas, but the restaurant made me a little uneasy ( I think it was just because I'm pregnant and all). Later that evening we went up to the observation deck to take some pictures (which I promise that I will upload tonight). After dinner and observation deck Tim and I headed back to our room (because it was about 1 a.m. Maryland time.

Sunday we meet everyone up at Ihop for breakfast at 10:00 a.m. which was so late (remember I'm still on East coast time, but I treated myself and the baby to Starbucks coffee that morning! Shh don't tell anyone!). Then after breakfast we headed south first to Treasure Island to pick up our tickets for Sunday's show, then onward to Harrah's to meet up with H/M. C/S decided not to ride with us back through the speed bumps, so they got out of the car and headed to Cesar's Forum shops! We walked the strip (which was so freaking hot! 105 or more!).

Around 4ish we all split from C/S and headed back to the hotel. H/M decided to have dinner with us at Toby's bar and grill in Harrah's. I ordered a hamburger, which was yummy and Tim drank out of a mason jar, which we have a picture of. H/M and us went our separate ways after dinner. We went back to our rooms to get ready for the Cirque show, which was awesome. Although I'm kind of sad that I had to miss part of the show (Okay only 5 minutes because I had to get up to go the bathroom. Thank you baby, oh I should of never drank that much water at Toby's. Oops! After the show Tim and I headed back to Harrah's by then I was exhausted. I went to bed at 9:30, sad I know. Miss C/S call, which I'm sorry about.

On Monday morning Tim and I had to run back to the airport car rental place to exchange our car for something else, because there was no way in hell we would be driving a car that would not start up on the first try to the desert.

Okay, this is the first part of my trip review. I promise to update the rest of my story later. I'll send you the link to my blog. That's where I plan to update the rest of the story at.

We're having a baby! (and a few other changes to my list)

Most of you already know that Tim and I are having a baby, but I'm finally getting around to updating my blog. Tim and I found out on March 14, 2009 that we were expecting. Obviously the day I found out, I thought for sure that my period must be late, so I decide to take a pregnancy test. Wow was I surprised. Obviously Baby S wasn't planned, but we are so thrilled, scared, nervous, excited about bringing a child into this world. At first I was shocked and parts of me are still shocked, but after our first OB appointment on Tuesday, it's finally setting in that, yes we are going to be parents.

Tuesday Tim and I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. What an amazing experience. Although at first our little one gave Mommy and Daddy a huge scare. The doctor couldn't find the heartbeat (I was slowly freaking out), but after reassurance from the doctor that this is normal (okay whatever you say doc!). After preforming my exam, the doctor decided let's try again and bam instantly she found the heartbeat. 150 bpm! Our next appointment is scheduled for June 9, where again we will get to hear the heartbeat.

Currently I'm 12 weeks along, so I still debating if I will create a separate family blog to update my family and friends with baby news. Please ignore my face!

As most of you know by viewing my blog... I have completed a fair amount of items on my list. Although some are never going to be accomplished in the next 9 or so months. I have decided to change a few (because well I'm allowed to do that!)

First change #85 Plan European Vacation will now be "Plan our next vacation".

Second change #86 Go on said trip to Europe will now be "Take that vacation"

Third change #101 Get pregnant in London can't happen because we got pregnant at home! LOL

Most of you know that Tim turned 30 on May 8, 2009. Months prior to his Birthday I had keep asking him what he wanted for his Birthday and all I got was just a party. So on May 2, 2009 we hosted a huge party at our house with tons of friends & family. We had tons of food and fun. I really wanted to do something special for him, so I contacted Holly our friend and ask her to make Tim a Birthday cake. I also asked Holly to make Brian a cake too (because he was also turning old. Kidding!). So here are the cakes that Holly made. Tim had a red velvet Redskin cake and Brian peanut chocolate beer mug cake. Both was delicious!
