Babymoon has several meanings. The original meaning is a period of time that parents spend bonding with a recently-born baby. More recently the term has come to be used to describe a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby.

The concept of jetting away for a relaxing getaway before your little one arrives has been on the up rise for the last several years or so.  Is it still today?  Relaxing on a beach or on a cruise sounds great and wonderful, your last “real” getaway before you are a family of three or four.  I have been wondering, are “parents to be” spending money for the nursery and other expenses that come along with a new baby or on a “babymoon?”   Is taking the “babymoon” an  important thing to be checked off your list before baby is here or is your “babymoon” something your enjoying with your new arrival?
