I've never really liked the term "babymoon," but I suppose that's what it was. Eric and I went to Chattanooga for a long weekend to enjoy a getaway before Baby arrives. We had both been busy in the weeks prior, and fairly stressed. I think it's safe to say we were clinging to the hope of a relaxing weekend... and that's just what it was!
Before we left Nashville, we spent some time physically preparing our home for Baby. And apparently preparing our cat for a new sibling :)
We also enjoyed breakfast at a local restaurant called The Pfunky Griddle. I had been hanging on to a groupon for this restaurant and we finally found the chance to go. Yum!
We spent a day at the Tennessee Aquarium - very educational and fun :) I don't think we realized how big the aquarium would be. Eric read on the website it should take about 2 hours to tour, so we planned our day that way. Turns out we spent at least double the recommended 2 hours there. Good thing we both have a little bit of nerd in us :)
Our mornings were spent in coffee shops; reading, relaxing, and report cards for me (ugh). We have enjoyed visiting coffee shops together and this is something we haven't been able to do together for the past several months because of Eric's work schedule. While his schedule will be changing again soon (he'll have Saturdays at HOME!!), we know we won't be taking family trips to a coffee shop with our infant.
And because a vacation isn't really a vacation without dessert - we researched and found 2 chocolate shops :) Oh yes, the sweetest part of our trip!
We returned to Nashville relaxed, and while I wouldn't really say "ready" for Baby... we're a whole lot closer!

Funny, we have a similar high chair and our cat sleeps in it too!
Love love love that you two got away for a few days before your little one comes! And it's great that you have been getting things together and ready! :) So exciting! Can't wait to see pictures of your precious one and hopefully meet him/her one day soon! Dave and I also (by default) get to have a little get-a-way in Singapore next week. It will be so nice...cause after that the Holidays hit, people starting coming over and the baby will be here before we all know it!
Thanks Ladies - seems so crazy for all of us to be having babies!
Ashley - we should talk about our cats. I don't know how to keep her out of the crib and off the changing table. Suggestions?
Ashli - I'm so glad you'll have visitors! I know it will be crazy, but it will be so good to see family, and for them to meet your little one. You don't know the gender, correct?
