I apologize for the delay in posting. My life has veered off its normal course and filled with travels or company for a few weeks straight. Traveling with three children complicates things. For some reason you feel like you are traveling twice as many miles, only to do half the amount of things you could do without children in tow.
Which makes me wonder if you realize how important it is to take a babymoon — that is a trip expectant parents take together before their world is flipped upside down and inside out! It can simply be a weekend at a hotel, a time to celebrate who you are as a couple and who you are to become.
When we were expecting Noah, we were, to put it bluntly, poor. Yet, we were determined to take a little getaway to Woodstock, NY. We window shopped and ate and enjoyed the freedom of having a (rental) car, after being without a vehicle for months. And when it was time to go home...well, I really didn't want to. I was so relaxed and happy and . . . well, scared. I was scared of how my life was going to change in just sixteen weeks. For some reason, I thought if I could somehow stay in upstate New York, I could keep things the same.
Life changes all the time. We can't stop it. We can't speed it up. We can only treasure the time we are in. In a few months, you will desperately want the days of pregnancy to be over and to be holding your baby in your arms. But you have forty weeks for a reason; try to relax, enjoy them, and treasure your time as husband and wife before you must also be mom and dad.
Love, Julie
We definitely need to get a babymoon on the calendar! It sounds like a wonderful idea to me! Our main focus now is getting the nursery, which is currently the office, cleaned out and ready to paint! Hopefully we can get to work on that soon! I feel like the weeks are flying by! But, we will have to be sure to take a weekend just to relax for us!
