We went to Casino Windsor to ring in the new year...we hadn't been before, there was free parking downtown, and it's the only time of year that they acknowledge the time. (There's no windows or clocks in any casino, so gamblers can't keep track of time, and they'll gamble more.)
It was super-packed, so we had to line up to get drinks. I decided to get some 7Up, and it was hilarious watching the people in the casino look at my belly, then at my drink, then at my belly again. "Is she?" "Isn't she?". I thought that someone would try to lecture me, but they ended up turning back to their slot machines, card tables, etc. One lady did come up and tell me that I looked terrific. Very sweet!
Anyway, I did try my luck at the slot machines...and I had none. We went back to the main foyer for the countdown and they were passing out free bubbly grape juice. Here's our picture at 11:58:30pm. I think we'll look a lot more tired next new year's eve!
I was on my message boards with other women that are having their babies in March, and one of them delivered early! (31 weeks, 2 days). It was touching and I was sniffling, but luckily, everything is going well with mom and tot. You can view their blog at:
