Vegas!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've blogged, but we've been a little busy here at home, not to mention that I haven't been feeling very well at this point in my pregnancy.  So, I'll give a little update about our recent trip to Vegas and post pics later, since my husband took the camera to work with him.

Our niece turned the big one on July 7th, and her parents were throwing her a birthday party on the 9th.  So, we decided to go and make a weekend of it.  Vegas is always an interesting place to go when you're 6 months pregnant and have a 21- month- old in tow.  The drive is pretty amazing as well (can you feel the sarcasm dripping from my mouth yet?). =)  Pierce was a trooper and did very well on the 5 hour drive.  The only mishap that we had was that at about 20 minutes out from Vegas, Pierce decided to shove a bunch of cheese in his mouth and that didn't go over very well. 

Stephen got us and his parents a suite at the Cosmopolitan, which is a very beautiful hotel.  The suite was nice, but we did have some mishaps with it.  We had requested to be on the side of the Bellagio fountain because it's a quieter side of the hotel, which we didn't get.  So, even though we were 30 floors up, our room shook almost the entire night because they put us right above where their nightclub is.  Thankfully, Pierce could sleep through a bomb exploding, so he had a restful night.  Stephen did complain the next night and they moved us and his parents into new suites on the other side of the hotel. I guess his parents suite was much louder than ours. We now had a beautiful view of the fountain at the Bellagio and I got some awesome pictures of it.  The hotel hooked us up in other ways because of the mix-up and also because they left us in the new suite with no keys to access the room.  It also took them almost 5 hours to get us changed, so it practically wasted our day.

 Stephen and I were able to go out and have dinner at Serendipity with some friends who live there while his parents watched our little munchkin.  We did some shopping afterwards.  He bought me a really nice Coach diaper bag and he bought he and Pierce matching blue LaCoste shirts--so adorable.  He really does love that boy!  They wore their matching shirts to our niece's birthday party.

I don't really want to get into the whole logistics of the trip because then it will just sound like I'm a downer, and afterall, we shouldn't let the little things bring us down, right? Right. =)  I know, a boring post, but if I went into the nitty gritty you wouldn't think it was so boring.......oh well, such is life.

Pics will be posted soon!

Ciao!
