Early Vacation

So what are you all doing for this summer's vacation? We usually take a (family) vacation for our anniversary in early June. But that will not work this year! My husband and I are trying to figure out whether to take one early (probably in April,) late (later Aug or Sep), or just skip it (which is obviously the least attractive option!)

I've flown several times while 6-7 months pregnant before, so that doesn't worry me. I'd love a cruise, but do not trust the ship doctors or doctors in another country if something would go wrong.

Anyone thinking about this yet? I think it's about time to schedule a trip if we want to do one early.

    I would think about going later and sticking closer to home just this year as baby will still be really little. We always take several camping trips and will continue to do so next year, likely a couple weeks after baby is born. Since we have a camper it's easier to do with a newborn than if we were tent camping. Plus, the baby will be cake, it's the 2 year old who's going to keep me on my toes lol

    We probably won't take one this summer. DH has to take vacation days to stay home with me and baby, so he won't have days later for a get away. Maybe we'll do a weekend in the fall when baby is a few months older and can stay with my parents. It's a good thing we took an amazing trip to Europe this past summer to help us hold out!

    We do an annual week long trip to Destin, FL in mid May with my in-laws.

    Yeah we aren't doing one. No way we can travel with preemie triplets and we can't leave them so young. Family reunions in the fall will be a stretch.
    DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI!
    Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!

    Yeah, your only hope would be a quick trip before the babies. And with triplets, I guess you'd have to do it sooner versus later in the pregnancy.

    We'll go to Europe in the middle or end of August to see DH's family.  The plan is to go for 2 weeks - probably one week in one location, another week by the sea.  The older kids be with us too, and I'm hoping my parents will be able to meet up with us too, at least for a few days.

    Cruises may not be an option any time around the birth as most cruise lines forbid women who will enter week 24 before or during the cruise because they don't have the capabilities to deal with a birth in board and babies under 6 months of age are usually not allowed either.

    Also just be careful about traveling anywhere that you may need a passport or birth certificate. I don't know if they issue them any quicker today or if you can rush them but I believe my birth certificate wasnt officially issued until almost 2 months after I was born. Same deal with passports.

    We'll be doing a vacation to FL in mid-March and then likely will go visit out of state family in August toward the end of my leave so they can all meet baby!

    We aren't planning a summer vacation this year. We are planning on a trip in the Spring to Chicago as our last trip as a family of 3. We want to take DD to the huge American Girl store there and go see a Cubs game. It will most likely be a long weekend trip.

    2 angel babies to watch over us- bfp 3/16/13, c/p 3/27/13- bfp 6/27/13, c/p confirmed 7/4/13- We will always carry you in our hearts

    We have a trip planned with friends in March but it's a skiing trip so DH and I won't be together much of the day. I'd love to do a babymoon in April but we'll have to see if funds permit!

    We also normally take a family vacation in June or July via cruising. Of course we will not be able to do that this year, so I think we will plan something to Florida. Not sure when, but probably sometime in August or September. In 2017, we plan on continuing our cruise tradition and trying out the newest ship from Royal Caribbean.
