Vegas Baby!

Justin and I took a nice weekend trip
to Vegas for our 7th anniversary.
Oh my goodness 7 years of being married
and I still adore this handsome man.
We celebrated it Sunday, May 29th 2011.
Yes we drive each other crazy,
but we love each other even more.

I was wanting to go somewhere
anywhere and just have US time
before the babies come.
So we finally agreed on
Las Vegas for four days.
Justin did all the planning.
He's awesome!

We stayed at the Renaissance hotel next
to the convention center and were able
to take the Monorail to the strip.
We got caught the first night and were
talked into doing a walk through for a
time share the next morning.
We got show tickets for Legends in
Concert, Buffet Vouchers and $75 in
free play, a nice little bribe ;0).


Justin bought us passes that we were
able to use Saturday and Sunday.
With the passes we were able to go
to the top of the Eiffel tower in
the Paris Casino.
Act as mobsters (he was "the Cigar"
and I was "Doves") for the day.
That was an amazing interactive exhibit.
We saw the Atomic Testing Museum.
And did plenty more.


Justin wanted to see at least one
Cirque Du Soleil show while we were
there so we choose Mystere at Treasure
Island Hotel and Casino.
It was a beautiful show and the
artist are amazing and the music was
much too soothing. Haha.
I admit the music was beautiful and had
me sleepy, but the show was truly fantastic.


The weekend was full of walking and
seeing and being amazed with the city.
But the best thing was sharing the
time with Justin and being a couple.
Our last little trip alone
before a new chapter begins.

May 23, 2011

Today was a regular check-up with Doctor
Kacenga and an appointment with obstetrics.
Justin was able to go with
me to the regular appointment.

My weight is currently at 193.
One pound up from last time
when I lost one pound haha.
Doctor Kacenga even asked if I
was eating, I reply with yes
and even more so than ever.
I can honestly pack it now.

The nurse used the Doppler today
to hear they babies' heartbeats.
Baby B to my right side has a heartbeat of 138.
Baby A to my left side has a heartbeat of 144.

Baby A moves constantly!
She loves noise and I'm sure
will be our little wild child.
Baby B moves though I don't feel her
as often, unless I lay on my right side.
She's the calm one.

The doctor measured my belly at 32cm.
The doctor says it'll be fun to measure
it later as it gets bigger and bigger.
Right now I'm not showing, though my
tummy is getting harder and harder
as the babies fill the space.

We spoke about delivery and
what time frame we're looking at.
I am opting to do a C-section in hopes
that this will help to make sure that
the babies and myself are not stressed
during the delivery.
The doctor agrees and says as we go we'll
look at their development and in most cases
twins are born via c-section around 38 weeks.
This puts us at last week of August.

After dropping of Justin at home
I picked up mom for the second
appointment with obstetrics.
It's the first ultrasound mom was able to attend.
She was able to see the babies.
Calm as could be today during the ultrasound.
It was a quick appointment with the scan of the
cervix and the ultrasound verifying the babies were OK.
No photos today, boo.
Next appointment is set for June 6 for a scan
of the cervix and the growth of the babies.

Mom and I went to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant
for lunch and to see pirates of the Caribbean.
It was a nice relaxing day.
