| Andrew & I planned a babymoon during my 2nd trimester, knowing this would be our last chance in a long time to steal away and vacation with just the two of us, to somewhere warm and tropical. My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister all pitched in to help watch Madsen, while we jet-setted off to Hawaii for eight glorious days. We spent three days in Oahu and five days in Maui. I was an absolute wreck anticipating leaving Madsen for so long, but the moment we got on the plane, I never looked back. I missed him with all my heart, but knew I needed to soak up every moment of this amazing opportunity to just be with my lover alone. We both can say this trip was perfect in every way. In a lot of ways, it was even better than our honeymoon. I think we just appreciated everything so much more...staying up late, sleeping in, meaningful conversations over leisurely meals, and the ability to do everything spontaneously. That is an absolute luxury when you are a parent. Never once did we have to worry about naps or turning in early at night or rushing through ours meals. This trip was heaven on earth...period. |
