I've never heard of this until the boards and now as I'm checking off my pregnancy checklist it pops up with consider a babymoon.
I suppose it's an excuse to get away for the weekend, celebrate, etc?
What are you doing if you are having one and what are your thoughts on the whole babymoon thing??
I'm flying to Kansas next week for work, but I'm guessing that doesn't count LOL!
Re: So what's with a babymoon??
I just heard about it last week. DH and I already had a cruise planned before our BFP and it is during the 18-22 weeks, so it's perfect! Our first cruise was for our honeymoon and our second will be our babymoon! We live in Wisconsin and are going at the end of January. It will be nice to get away! We were going to do the zip line on one of the islands, but I think that's out now. Snorkeling it is!
And a work trip does NOT count. You and DH/SO need to do something nice together!
We are going to Vegas over Thanksgiving, so I guess that will work...it's also where we went for our honeymoon.
Funny how that worked out for us and you!
We planned a babymoon of sorts-nothing too fancy though. Since I don't want to fly, we're going to drive up to Denver and stay at a nice hotel for the weekend, go out for nice dinners, etc. It'll be mid-december that we go, so I imagine it'll look beautiful with all the lights! I can't wait!

I never considered a babymoon with my first pregnancy. For me, shopping for the baby and decorating the nursery was too much fun. Besides, if I can't enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner on vacation I get cranky.
Mikeismine, I saw your post and love the idea of taking a special trip with the older child before the baby comes. My DH is 5 now and I think after we have the baby she is the first person I want to visit us in the hospital room. I think I'll really miss spending so much time with her, so a special babymoon that includes her sounds great!
