Honeymoon/Disneymoon/Babymoon

We're back! We had a great time! I recommend that anyone that is pregnant or plans to become pregnant- go on a babymoon! Now, we were lucky in a way, we planned on this trip being our honeymoon; we happened to get pregnant and the trip became our babymoon. While we were there, Disney was promoting their "Celebrate today" campaign. We were given pins when we arrived that read "Just Married". We wore these pins one day. We got so many strange looks, being 5 months pregnant and celebrating a honeymoon did not seem to be well received by some people down there and it took too much effort to explain to people that we'd been married for 6 months already. So, we changed the celebration to "babymoon" and got a pin for my belly that read "1st Visit".

We did do some research before we left to make sure this trip was as safe and enjoyable as possible. We learned that if pregnant and flying, stand and move often. I ended up standing for the last 30 minutes, or so, of the flight down. I did not have that option on the flight back and ended up feeling really sick by the time we got back to Boston. We read that rest is VERY important and we agreed before we left that we would be napping everyday. It made the trip enjoyable for the both of us (because, if I get cranky, everyone is going down with me!). The most important, we researched what I could and could not do for rides, and planned the trip accordingly. I was very content doing other things while John hit all the thrill rides, but we made sure there was something I could do near by, so I wasn't bored.

We had an amazing time. It was a great way to transition into beginning a life with more than just the two of us. We purchased Charlotte her first toy and we're as ready as we'll ever be for her arrival.
