travel ideas during pregnancy?

I kind of hate the term "babymoon" so from here on out I'm calling it just plain old vacation:)

But have you guys started thinking about doing this? I'm looking forward to spending some  romantic time with my man before the baby comes in July, and wanted to hear what you all have planned for some location inspiration!

If my husband can take time off from work when I'm not teaching over Spring Break we will be driving over to New Orleans to spend a couple nights. I've never been so I think it will be a fun pre-baby vacation.

I'm with you on the term 'babymoon'- hate it!

MH and I are doing the same thing!! Probably 2days and 1night at a nice hotel, go to the spa and try to eat at as many different restaurants as possible.  I am from the area if you need any recs or suggestions.

My DH works at his family's business and vacations are limited to family vacations. Occasionally we might take a night or a weekend at one point in the year, but we've never done the "babymoon" (a term I'm not crazy about either).

He does have a work trip in March before the baby is due in May. This is a trip I attend with him and we know a lot of people that we only see at this time and at night we get to relax and hang out with the friends who are there - that could be considered a vacation for me (not for him, since he has to work a lot).

As for a vacation before the baby - we'll probably have my parents or his parents keep our kids for a night in April and go out to eat and then sleep in the next morning - that's the best vacation I can think of right now lol!

We probably won't be going anywhere. DH is gone for training until March, so I'll be almost 3rd tri before we're together again. We just moved, too, so we might do some fun stuff in the area.

With DS, we went to China. It was the only time we could go, so we went. I was around 16 weeks, I think. Besides the Beijing pollution, it was awesome - I climbed the Great Wall of China while pregnant. How many people can say that?

I'm also due in July, and my husband and I just booked a vacation in Sedona, Arizona. It's also 3 weeks after our first wedding Anniversary, so it's a double celebration! We're from Michigan, so we wanted to go somewhere with warm weather so we can spend time outdoors. :)

the desert sounds awesome! That's a good idea. I went to Black Rock Desert in Nevada last summer and loved it. And I'm originally from Michigan too! But currently live in Atlanta, so I would appreciate getting out of our disgusting muggy heat and into the dry.

We are leaving for a cruise to the Bahamas this weekend! Packing lots of sunscreen and glad my m/s is gone! My dr said to bring something for nausea just in case.

We are going to Kauai in February! I seriously can't wait. I think we might use some if the photos to do a little Facebook announcement. I'll be 19 weeks, so hopefully I'll be showing a little!
