Las Vegas
I'm catching up on posts...back in Novemeber, Tom and I went to Las Vegas to celebrate both our birthdays and to just get away for a couple of days (since we've sort of been busy since July).
It was such a great weekend getaway! We left Ania with my parents and thanks to technology face-timed with her.
We arrived early morning on Friday and instead of going straight to the hotel, we drove to Red Rock Canyon first to go for a hike. It was definitely cold and after a plane ride, the fresh air was nice. Friday night, we went to dinner at Prime Steakhouse in the Belliago and after did a little gambling and some drinks. The party animals we were, called it a night at about 11:30pm.
Saturday, we had a 1.5 hour couples massage. It was fabulous and I transformed Tom into a spa junkie. We even went back to use the facilities spa, sauna, and steam room before our show and dinner. Dinner was at Nobu, great sushi and friendly staff. I want to go back when we're not in a rush to catch a show. We saw Zumanity, a Cirque de Soliel show. It's riskay, but it was good. This was our first Cirque show.
Here's a few photos from our hike. The other photos will be added later.

By George, I think she's got it!!
After 14 days of screaming crying during bedtime, Ania has finally come to grips and is putting herself to bed! I couldn't be more proud of her.
The first few days she was screaming crying for about 30 mins before falling asleep and right before traveling it was 20. We were about to revert and start rocking her again in NYC, which we did the first night in a new place then we were back to putting her in the pack n play or crib and she would cry for about 10 mins. It got to the point it was so loud that she was almost losing her voice the next day. Then, just the other night it took her 5 mins of crying before putting her to bed and just last night, she didn't fight us putting her in her crib, cried for about 2 mins and went to bed. Today, for her morning nap, I put her down and she talked to herself a bit an went to bed. Talk about lifesaver.
She's such a good girl and patience is a life lesson when you become a parent. Tom and I stuck together, alternated bedtime (bc I want her to be used to either of us) and she's been doing awesome. I worried when I go out of town for two weeks... Hopefully when I come back shell let me put her to bed. Crossing fingers...

Day 6
We're starting to train Ania to fall asleep on her own...and it's day six. It's definitely not easy but so far it's taken about an average of 26 mins for her to fall asleep. I'll take it! Before, we would rock her to sleep and I definitely loved it but not when I had to walk around with her for over an hour before laying her down in her crib. So well see how it goes.
Toms on business and hell be back on Wednesday...then we're off to NYC to spend the holidays, no christmas, with my family and his. Cannot wait!!!
Here's a few photos: one with baying and laking during family dinner, Tom reading to Ania, and a goofy photo of us. One more of baby shoes, I had some as a baby because my mom got them as a gift and I found the company so I ordered the same ones for Ania. Unfortunately her feet have grown and don't fit the shoes anymore. Bugger!
And another. One with her and the reindeer. We went to this event called winter wonderland in our area on Thursday. She sat with Santa and I took her photo. She has a christmas party at school tomorrow plus a photo with Santa.

Blessed
Everyday I count my blessings. I am so blessed that Ania came into our lives and how she was such a surprise to us and having a healthy pregnancy and delivery of her.
My coworker was out of the office for a couple days an to find out that she had suffered a miscarriage. I also find out another woman has been out of the office and she's pregnant but has suffered 6 miscarriages before then. I pray for these ladies that want to be mothers again that they're able to share in the joy. Both have babies already but I pray that the expansion of there families happens for them...

Sick
When I lived in NYC, I never got sick. I move back and I feel like I'm sick every other month. That's not cool. When we first moved to Houston both me and Tom got sick and now I'm home sick and toms been playing mommy and daddy to Ania since Thursday. He's such a great daddy and Ania loves h too much. I still need to write about our time in Vegas...
