I too am not happy about having to go out and buy a maternity swimsuit. I think I’ll just try to live in my fantasy land a little longer and see if I can find a suitable regular tankini that I can get away with!

But heck, if you can do it, I guess I can too!

I wore a bikini when I was pregnant. I would NEVER wear a bikini otherwise. I felt – hey – my tummy is SUPPOSED to be over my bottoms, and hey where did these boobs come from? Woo Hoo. The heck with the frumpy maternity tankinis – strut your stuff.

Babymoon did start as an individual travel company, as far as I can see. I blogged about it a couple of years ago; think it’s British. But I can’t see this becoming the big trend now that the recession’s hit.

Great/greedy minds think alike, Cowgirl. I already have a watch in mind and would have no problem whatsoever buying it myself.

It’s the least they can do for us, really.

I’ve heard babymoon used in both ways (last vacation before the baby, and that blissful time after the baby is born and you’re too in shock to realize how exhausted you are).

I just want to make sure that you are aware of another commercially-invented term: Push Present. That is a very pricey fancy gift that Mr. Candy buys you to thank you for growing a human. Lots of women get expensive jewelry. I got a digital SLR camera with two really nice lens. And yes, I picked it out and even purchased it myself…I wasn’t going to take any chances.

So a small note to Mr. Candy: PUSH PRESENT.

i first heard the term babymoon used in a congratulatory tone from one friend to another (“enjoy your babymoon”) to refer to the time just after bringing the baby home from the hospital, and everyone is focusing on baby, cuddling and happy, and eating lots of takeout, there are no visitors for a while, and lots of time for being blissed out. i like your definition as well.
