Las Vegas

Todd and I went to Las Vegas for our his work/our 1st anniversary/babymoon trip a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. Neither of us had ever been before and I was so amazed at all there is to do and see. We played the slots a little, Todd played cards, I shopped a lot, we saw a show, stayed in a fabulous hotel and saw tons of others, and had a gondola ride on our anniversary. Tons of fun. I hope to go back because being pregnant there is hard. First of all, the heat was no joke. We stepped off the plane on Saturday and it was 97 degrees. Quite a difference from the 60-ish degrees in Charlotte when we left that morning. And dry as a bone, as in 5% humidity. I know we complain about the humidity in the South in the summer, but I realized that some humidity is good. My 2nd complaint about being in Vegas while pregnant was all the people who smoked and had no respect for those of us that don't. I can't remember how many times I had to get up and move from a place because someone would light up. And, I think I look pretty pregnant now and so it amazed me that they really showed no respect for that. The final complaint about being in Vegas while pregnant is all the walking you have to do. Ok, we could have paid a fortune for cabs, but who wants to waste that kind of money. So we walked almost everywhere and that was so hard for me. Good exercise, but I was worn out at night. Another thing that was frustrating was the stupid people handing out their "escort service" cards with no respect. They would smack their cards to get your attention and then throw them in your face. Obviously, I was not interested in their services but you got bombared every 5 feet with these people and you would get frustrated. One of them almost hit me at one point and Todd did not take too kindly to that. I won't even mention flying for 6 hours, because I hate flying anytime, let alone at 22 weeks pregnant, but that was a necessary evil. But, like I said, we had a ton of fun and it was good to spend a lot of alone time together because I know that is coming to an end soon.
