Baby After Bust

Couples honeymoon after the wedding, so I think you should babymoon after the baby. Why you ask? Taking a trip when you are huge, peeing yourself, and unable to consume adult beverages, does not sound like a good time to me.  Wearing a maternity swimsuit as you grow by the day is not my idea of fun either.  Let’s be real!

For nine months you definitely are not yourself, especially toward the end.  I was walking around like a bitchy, zombie, milk-machine.  It took a good year to return to normal, which was not good for my marriage or myself!  Husband had forgotten just how awesome I really was.

After my last baby, my husband and I planned a long weekend to the Bahamas right before I returned back to work.  BEST.IDEA.EVER.  On the second day, my husband actually looked at me and said, “Now I remember why I married you.  You are really FUN!”  Gee thanks.

Happy holding my first adult beverage! Happy Wife-Happy Life.

Is there mom guilt for leaving your new baby?  Absolutely!  However, I was reminded of him every two hours when I had to pump,.. and dump (of course).  I am very thankful for my parents, who happily accepted to watch their new grandchild.  They actually begged, but didn’t have to beg too hard. Truth be told, I was actually less worried about him being with them than myself.  Don’t judge! It was my first kid and I was just getting the hang of this whole parenting thing.

I definitely recommend a babymoon to all new parents, as I am counting down the days to go in a few months!  Sunshine, beach cocktails, and without my big belly…. sign me up!  During labor I will have James Taylor in my head singing, “OH MEXICO”, and will be thinking of an all-inclusive Mexican vacay.  Note: In addition to “finding yourself” again, it’s also great motivation to lose the baby weight quick! Babymoon HERE WE COME!
