Babymoon

Every summer (for the most part, since we've been together) Andy and I go to Hawaii. We love to go stay with my Aunt and Uncle at their house in Kauai - not only is the island beautiful, but it's SO great to spend time with them there. This summer we were planning to go in June, looking forward to some down time, and quality hang time with Aunt/Uncle/cousins. However, as this baby has gotten bigger, I have become more concerned about flying 7 hours while being 71/2 months pregnant. Not that I couldn't do it, but that's a long time to be stuck on a plane - both ways.
So, Andy and I decided to go a little earlier, and to try out a different island. As I've been reading my pregnancy books, i've found that many people do a "last trip" before baby arrives, and they call it the "babymoon." So i guess what we are about to embark on is our "babymoon" - a week in Oahu! Andy hasn't been there before, so it's a new experience for him. And i know I'll get the sunshine i've been craving - especially after the SNOW we had here yesterday (the temp went from 80 degrees, literally, to snowing). This Colorado living thing is a little crazy sometimes.
Anyway, even though he won't see it with his own eyes, baby Rosdil is heading out for his first hawaiian vacation tomorrow!
Aloha!

Have fun!! And I don't blame you for going earlier. I flew at 5 or 6(?) months (to Florida). Very bizarre because the air pressure made Kayla squirm like crazy. Anyway enjoy your last trip, although I'm sure there will be plenty of fun family trips in the future! Loves
