Getting Closer

First of all, we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Hope you guys had lots of Turkey. But most importantly, we hope everyone had a good time spending with family, friends, co-workers etc.

We got back on Sunday from our Vegas trip. Can't believe this will probably be our last trip together. I still have to visualize myself walking around with a stroller, a diaper bag and this little munchkin in less than two months. It's exciting, though! And both Anh and myself are really looking forward to her finally popping out after those nine months. The stroller has been put together (piece of cake), the crib still needs work... but we'll probably get that done this weekend.

We stayed at the Palazzo in Vegas, but we spent most of our time at our favorite hotel ... The Wynn. The service is excellent, the employees are very hospitable. Don't know if it's because of our bankroll and the amount of hours we play (...lol...). As always, we were comped the buffets and we're treated excellent. Even one of the dealers that we have gotten to know there gave Anh a little baby present. Thanks fors the bibs and Precious Moments shawl, Mary!

Traffic was terrible on our way to Vegas (not to speak about driving back ... it took us 5 hours to get back and I was averaging at least 80 mph ... luckily, this time without a speeding ticket). Did some shopping at the premium outlet on Friday and bought our little baby girl some nice clothes. Momma needed some maternity clothes too ... to look good for the coming X-mas holidays. So we had to raid some maternity stores as well. All in all, we had a good shopping experience. We spent most of our time just enjoying our stay at the hotel, walking around and playing some games. It was good being out there for a long weekend, not having to deal with work and our daily chores.

At this point, we still have 56 days to go until the little one comes. Anh's seeing her doctor every other week now instead of once a month. Speaking of which ... another appointment coming up this Saturday. The baby's movements have gotten more frequent. It sometimes almost feels like she's preparing herself to be the next top So You Think You Can Dance finalist. And she should be around 17 inches tall and her weight should be somewhere in the 4 lbs.

This week we also found out about one of Minh's friend's father passing away. I hereby would like to express our sincere condoleances on this loss. Especially, during times like these and with X-mas coming up it's very tough having to experience a life changing event like this. You know who you are! Keep your head up.

Life events happen to everyone of us. It just gives us more reason to spend more time with the ones we care about the most and make sure that we protect them whenever we can. So you parents out there that have not set up your kid's college plan, nor have gotten yourself life insurance, nor that living trust you've talked about for all those years ... GET IT !!! Your child(ren) will be very thankful in the future. Or ... just give me a buzz and I'll hook you up with a complimentary, no-obligation X-mas financial consultation. Speaking of which ... time for me to go home and spend some time with my baby momma. Until the next post.
