It's been a good 9 months since my last update and in that time, we had a baby boy! So much for the last post about a honeymoon destination! It was only a few days after the post that we found out I was pregnant.
Instead of the planned honeymoon, we ended up going on a babymoon instead when I was about 20 weeks pregnant. We decided to relax in California and get our baby shopping done for 2 weeks. It was a relaxing and productive holiday. Can't say it was all that comfortable on the 14 hour flight - if we go on another babymoon in the future, I would pick somewhere much closer.
So we had our little boy last month and have been adjusting to being parents. Holidays have been the last thing on my mind, though a few weeks before giving birth to Lucas, we did consider going on a big holiday in June this year to France. I even had the grand idea of including Japan, in what would have been a month-long break. I'm glad those plans never came to fruition as I can't imagine being on so many long haul flights with a 4-month old baby. We tried to venture outdoors on the weekend to the Thai restaurant down the road and it was already quite challenging with all the paraphernalia we had to haul with us! So Dave will be heading to France on his own in June. I'm very jealous he gets to attend a beautiful wedding in the south of France, though he will be away for less than a week. He'll be spending more time seeing the inside of planes than visiting the beautiful French countryside.
So our travel plans have gone into hiatus for a little while during this adjustment period. I wouldn't mind squeezing in a visit to Japan later this year when Lucas is a bit bigger as I do miss Japan. I'm interested to see how our holidays will change now that we have a little person to accompany us!
