How to keep yourself entertained... (Day 6)

How to keep yourself entertained at forty weeks???
The "Last Supper," of course.

Now, if you're like us, and have been ready for the baby since week 38, you've probably had a FEW "last suppers" by now. No, but really, this better be our "LAST, last supper."

So what is a "last supper"? Well, for us, it mostly means our last night out as just the two of us. It was our last delicious meal out (for at least a couple weeks anyway,) until we have this baby, heal from the trauma (Matt too) and then feel brave enough to venture out again.

Truth be told, we are not the type to hole ourselves up in our house and become hermits once the baby comes. Yah right, I'll go bezerk. BUT... our next dinner out is TRULY never going to be the same again. We'll either:

A) Bring the niño, but potentially spend a majority of the evening tending to a fussy baby in a stroller.
B) Bring the niño, but spend the entire evening staring in silence at our beautiful creation.
C) Leave the niño at home with a close friend, but worry the entire time.
or
D) Leave the niño at home, but spend 1/2 of the evening talking about him and the other 1/2 trying to NOT talk about him. (I have a sneaking suspicion these discussions will include serious talks about frequency and consistency of diaper contents.)

SO, while you're DYING on day 6 of week forty waiting for your miracle to arrive... make some dinner reservations and GET OUT! It MAY just be your "last supper." Here are a few photos from ours. I wish I had remembered to snap some pics of our meals. I would have forgotten pictures ALL together if it weren't for Matt's reminder that we needed POD pics! :) Good Matty, Good boy.

Enjoying my tiramisu. Yummmmmmmmmmo.
The adorably quaint, La Dolce Vita, a new Italian restaurant in Rota.
The menu is small (just how I like it), but the food is absolutely wonderful: meats and cheeses shipped direct from Italy, freshly made pastas, and scrumptious desserts. Seriously, I cannot say enough about this place. The woman who I believe owns it (and waited on us) is SO sweet and kind and speaks perfect English. My appetizer, the bruschetta with pomodoros and burrata cheese, was the best I've ever had, and my dinner, the spinach ricotta ravioli in olive oil was DELISH!!! Here were the specials del giorno for last night.
Anyway, after our amazing dinner we decided to end our date night with a movie at the drive-in. If seeing Captain America is on your to-do list... cross it off. On a side note, maybe our child is a film critic wanna-be like his father and will be SO pissed that we ended our "last supper" night with such a horrible flick that he's going to come storming out today all like "WTF... really? Captain America???"!!!

:) So yeah, La Dolce Vita is my new favorite Rota restaurant. It really was a wonderful and a relaxing evening. Nights like that make being 5 days late a little bit easier.
