Ready to pop!

I have officially passed my due date of Feb. 5th and have been impatiently awaiting the arrival of our new baby. I feel like my body has been giving “any minute now” signs for the last week yet nothing is happening! Usually I am very happy for the baby to stay in as long as he/she likes because they are a lot easier inside than out, yet for some reason with this one I’ve been anxious to pop it out.

However this last week Adam has been home after a busy December and January at camp. It has been so fun having him around all the time, swimming in the pool, cooking dinner together, taking the girls out to playgrounds and even the zoo. When I look back on this past week I’m so glad we were able to have a fun, relaxing time with just the four of us before things get crazy again.

One of my favorite memories from this week happened today when we went out to lunch at a local restaurant called “Tip Top”. When our food came Adam and I were eating and talking away when I noticed something bright blue disappear into Adam’s mouth. “What blue thing did you just eat?” I asked. He quickly spit out what was suppose to be a bite of a chicken wrap only to find a bright blue, deflated balloon mixed in! We both stared at it confused…finding a hair in your food would be one thing…but a balloon? We called our waiter over and Adam asked for another chicken wrap without a balloon, which just sounded extra funny in Spanish.

I was laughing pretty hard but Adam was just staring in awe. He finally said “if you don’t know there’s a balloon in the sandwich you’re making…then what does that mean…? What else is in the sandwiches they don’t know about??!” Good question! I can’t imagine how a balloon ended up in a chicken wrap!! When the waiter came back with a new chicken wrap he told Adam not to be scared to eat it…how reassuring! The restaurants catch phrase is “Saborear los buenos momentos” which means to savor the good memories. Thank you Tip Top for creating such a good memory, although perhaps next time we could do without a choking hazard in our food!
