Travel, Mama!
Once upon a time there was a new mom who just wanted to go on vacation with her husband and baby before she had to go back to work. She considered herself lucky, because she was able to stay home with her daughter for longer than most, but it was still a very busy year and a week of R&R was definitely in order. And in this new life as a mother, R&R no longer stands for Rock & Roll.
Even though I thought I was prepared and ready for anything, turns out I was anything but.
Have Baby, Still Travel…
I’m one of those annoying personality types that has it all figured out before it actually happens. Now by it, I mean anything… a new hobby, a task around the house, having a baby… you get the idea. During my first pregnancy I was certain that neither my baby nor me nor my house would be messy, breastfeeding would be a breeze, and the pounds would simply just melt away, mostly because I’d be out and about so often with my adorable and easy baby girl. I devoured every new parent book I could get my hands on, and considered myself fully prepared for life as a new mom.
Imagine my surprise when almost none of that happened.
