Baby Moon

Munchie2.0

*I tried searching, but I am on mobile and it was a fail!*

anyone have a baby moon planned or thinking about planning one? 

FishyMom

Nope, but I am super jealous if you are thinking about it.  We should have done it with our first and I regret it.  So I say do it if you think you might want to take a vacation!

Well, we bought VIP tickets to see Luke Bryan in Dallas (about 5hr drive away) back in April... We were planning this to be a little fun vacay since it falls on DH's bday. Soooo I think this will be our babymoon since DD will be staying home with my parents. 

We didn't do anything when we were pregnant with DD and I wish we would have just taken a little weekend to ourselves

No vacation plans for us yet but it'd be nice to get away at some point.

We did a cruise to Bermuda when I was pregnant with DD. A cruise is the perfect vacation when knocked up... So much yummy food!!

Ha. There is no way I would want to do a cruise while preggo. I need to get my drank on! Lol.  I thought they made major changes to the rules about cruising while pregnant like you can't go past 16w

It depends on the cruise line but I think they are like 26-27 week cutoff. 

I'm hoping to talk DH into a weekend at a bed and breakfast up in Bar Harbor! We shall see though since we are trying to buy a house.

DH's niece is due with her first baby this month.  So, we're considering a trip down to Phoenix in October...  I think we'd pair the visit with a stay in a nice resort/hotel and stretch the trip out to 4 days to make it a babymoon type of thing.

With DD, we took a long weekend in Cleveland. We won't be doing anything fun this time around probably.

We were going to do a long weekend in Montreal, but we've decided to go to RI ComiCon instead.  We splurged on VIP passes since I should be roughly the size of a minibus by then and figure I won't want to stand in long lines.  LO will get to meet Stan Lee, Arthur Darvill, and Billie Piper before even being born, the lucky duck!  So excited.  So nerding out.

I work in downtown but I don't actually live in Dallas I live more towards the airport.  Do you still have family here?

bdesterhouse

I want to take a mini vacation with my husband to take our son to Lego Land in Kansis City. It's about a four hour drive, so I think it would be fun to do over Christmas Break from school. That way we can spoil him before baby comes, since baby's arrival will be messing with his birthday.

Munchie2.0

@FishyMom yea, I have family in Keller, Southlake & Boyd.  

Steelerfan78

We have a couple of out of town trips planned in October. We are going to a Navy football game and a Broncos game (H is a fan, not me obviously).

24 weeks.

We didn't with our first but this time we plan to take our son on a little weekend trip. Not sure where though. It will be our last little trip as a family of 3!

I know I had to have a doctors note, I think I was 26ish weeks. It was also over 4 years ago. 
I love drinking while cruising but I think drinking goes with pretty much every vacation, I didn't miss it too much though. we kept super busy with excursions, boat activities, and of course the food.

I think we are going to try to do a weekend trip sometime this fall before the weather gets bad. Nothing big, maybe just renting a cabin within a few hours of where we live.

WinchesterGirl

We are! The plan is to go to the mountains the week of Thanksgiving. We got almost every year... but this will be our last trip as a family of 2! It's very surreal to think about.

LaurenAshley04

We went to NYC for a long weekend. It was nice but it was really hot and we did a lot of walking!

This time nothing crazy we just had a long weekend. Our local shopping is AWFUL so we will probably try to get out of town late fall for a few baby things (clothes) and Christmas presents for our toddler. That would be day trip though! Although I did all of it online last year so we shall see!

I have a vacation planned to go to Universal Studios and Disneyland in September. DH won't be going though because he started a new job and can't get the time off. So my sister and mom are going in his place... So I will still call it a baby moon for myself. Need to get my last disney fix in before we have to start packing the whole house just to go one place. 

yogadevil

We had tentatively planned 4 days in Key West for September, we're hesitant to plan anything that can't be refunded in the case of further bedrest and whatnot. Maybe we'll head to a b&b or something less fun than tropical

Gingersnap

H cousin is getting married in Maui in October, so we are going to try to move some things around so we can go and make a little vacation out of it. 

joyful08

We are going to Disney World for Halloween and the food & wine fest they have there at Epcot. We booked it before I was pregnant but knew I probably would be pregnant when we went. We did it in October to help give us something to look forward to since my due date was originally in October. 

PerraSucia

we got tickets to Desert Trip  in October and are having a kid free weekend in the desert by a pool with a fruity not cocktail

avriladorable07

@joyful08 - DH and I are going to Disney for Halloween and food and wine in epcot too! We're going in September, and we also originally booked it before we found out. I'm looking forward to a lot of yumminess... 

Have a blast  

kirstynikole

I follow a FB page that posts daily deals for cheap flights out of our nearest city, and I'm looking for anything relatively cheap/fun within the next few months so we can have a little babymoon. It will be our first trip/time away from DS, and I think it will be much needed before the new LO.

@joyful08 and @avriladorable07 - Food and Wine festival at Disney is SO MUCH FUN!  I went for the first time last year and really enjoyed it.  Definitely check out the cheese bread in Brazil and the lamb chop in Australia (it comes with crushed potato chips on top - it was SO GOOD).  I also remember being surprised at how good the DR booth was.  

I wasn't a huge fan, but most of my group really like the teriyaki buns in Japan.  I think they talked it up too much so when I finally got one it didn't live up to the hype.  

I was not a fan of the Italy booth, which was disappointing because I LOVE Italian food.  But it tasted like something you'd buy frozen and heat in the microwave.  

Lafreeman21

We do a big trip every year, and this is our last one just the two of us. We were planning Greece & Italy in November... but, uh, 6 months and hiking through Rome did not sound ideal.  We're going to Germany, Copenhagen, and Norway in August instead. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up our normal break-neck vacation pace

Ahh I can't wait! I've already looked at all the menus and pictures of what they had last year. Australia is on the top of my list and I do also have the Brazilian cheese bread on there too.

We're also doing disneyworld in October for Halloween! We went last year for Mother's Day and I loved it.

Gretchypoo

Michigan on the Beach in September with some girlfriends and in October to the mountains in Arkansas to watch the leaves change-- looking forward to showing off the bump in some flannel!

WinchesterGirl

@kirstynikole have you tried the "explore" feature on kayak? Pick a date and/or airport and see every single flight!

Also, Google flights has a cool calendar feature that lets you see the cheapest dates for an itinerary. 

rachoochoo2

We will probably try for an overnight but no long trip. We have 3 kids already, two of which who are in school starting later this month so logistically our odds of a real getaway aren't very good. I'm super jealous of those of you who are.

skiingstark

I am doing Disneyland labor day weekend. My husband will not be able to join me cause of work/studying for cpa, it is just a mother and daughter trip. We will be doing a RunDisney event and running the 10k. Since I became pregnant my running has slipped, but we just did a speed walking test and could 10 to 11 min mile for a 5k. We just have to make sure we are 16 min miles or faster or you get swept up. It should be fun, they have characters during the run and we get to run through Disneyland! 

Kashy17

We havent planned anything yet.  I really want to so at least a 4-5 day get away somewhere.  Last time my brother got married in Jamaica so we spent a week there.  It was great.
