Blast From the Past: September 16th, 2010

     If you read the last post, you probably know that the baby mooned his or her mother and grandmother during a space age ultra sound picture show last week. Well, in an unrelated, yet similar sounding turn of events, last night I just found out about something called Babymoons. Any guesses on what that involves? No, it doesn't involve baby butts like the previous post. It's like a honeymoon that you take before the baby is born. Hence the term Babymoon. And no, there is not a pregnancy version of a Bachelorette party. Pregnant women should not drink and stuff dollar bills down the speedo of a guy dressed like a sexy police officer. It's just plain wrong. That's for after the baby's born.

It seems that these Babymoons are quite popular and many people even travel abroad. Can you imagine this scenario: You and your wife are traveling to Sydney, Australia for a Babymoon with lots of fun and sun. Mix that equation in with the fact that your wife is five months pregnant and has to pee every thirty five seconds during your fifteen hour flight. Sounds like a smashing good time! Those trips are for crazy people. I am all for celebrating the baby's arrival with a small vacation (I do not want to write the word Babymoon anymore! Even though I just did) but a plane trip or a long car ride is just insanity. How about this for a Babymoon (I did it again!) we wade in a small kiddie pool in the front yard while listening to the Beach Boys and the Beatles. I'll get a small BBQ and grill up some hot dogs and give my wife a massage, hoping that she won't notice that I confused the mustard for lotion. That sounds nice, right?
