     I would love to go on a baby moon, but DH is stubborn about it because he thinks it's silly.  I think it's warranted as LO halted plans for a cruise we were going to take in the spring 
    Babymoons are so important, esp before your first! Last time you'll ever be just you :) We can put together a convincing argument if you'd like :p
    That's what I told him, but he wasn't going for it!  The cruise was, in his mind, a sort of consolation for no success with conceiving.  I guess now he thinks since we're expecting there's no need for any sort of trip.  I think a weekend getaway would be nice.  Bring on the arguments!  Hopefully I can eventually convince him.   
    Here's my shot at it:
    1. You will never again be able to spend money on yourselves indulgently again without feeling guilty!
    2. You'll never be able to have uninterrupted and energetic sex for a looooong time. Vacation time is great for your sex life :)
    3. Who knows when the next time you'll see another part of the country or world will be? It's great to be cultured!
    4. After this baby comes your lives with never, ever be the same!

    Will think of more later!! Anyone else wanna take a shot to help Molly?

    Take the babymoon!!! My biggest regret is not taking one before DS was born. It's the last time you can take a trip without your mind being bogged down with worry about how that (or those) little people are doing without you there :)
