A month of firsts! Spent the first week of October in Las Vegas with 9 friends - stayed at the MGM Grand and had a blast (except for having to pass up on all those yummy giant alcoholic slurpies). Got to see the sights, play the slots, experience Cirque de Soleil and watched Jet at the Hard Rock Hotel. All in all a really fun few days - did not feel tired at all due to the constant inflow of pure oxygen being pumped throughout the hotel. Discovered flying in your first trimester however is not all that fun. Had my first obstetrician appointment Oct 11th with Dr. Ann Van Der Linden - just my kind of doctor - has a big sense of humour & makes me laugh. Figure I will get along with her fabulously. Had my first round of prenatal bloodwork done Oct 12th - took 7 viles! Spent the following Saturday shoppinat Thyme Maternity for my first maternity outfits, a pair of jeans and black pants (staples in any woman's closet). Regular pants definitely getting tighter. Oct 25th was my first appointment at the Gestational Diabetes Clinic at VGH (Victoria General Hospital) - spent a couple of hours with my endocrinologist, a dietician and diabetes nurse. Lots of work ahead making sure that my blood sugar is good while the baby develops but test results all great.
