[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]I have no problem calling it a babymoon because I never had a honeymoon.  And frankly who cares what it's called?  I don't believe it's "baby industry consumerism".  I won't be having a babyshower (nor did I have a bridal shower or party).  There's an industry around everything, an advantage to planning early is avoiding rip offs.

And sure, regardless of baby coming we could use a trip....But, when you have other financial needs (IVF was ours), it's difficult to rationalize planning a vacation when you might need more than one cycle and those costs add up.  [b]And 11:08 specifically called out my thread.  I'm not pregnant enough to plan a vacation? [/b]

Many people here seem to suffer from "I did this, look how easy it was".  Everyone is different. Everyone has different circumstances.  My 2-week European honeymoon / post-latest deployment vacation got spent on IVF.  My situation isn't normal, but it also isn't that rare on these boards.

So, I apologize if clicking on my thread annoyed people.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is pointing back to you JinDC, they're talking about the people that have replied to you.  You seem like a really reasonable and down to earth person and I truly hope you enjoy your babymoon/pre-baby trip/whatever the hell people want to call it.  It sounds like you and your husband really deserve it!!  And congratulations :)[/quote]

11:08 here and no, I did not call you out specifically, or at all.  I answered the original question, and gave my opinion on the term babymoon.

[quote]This. Just call it a vacation, because you want to take a vacation. Why does it have to have some special twee name?[/quote]

This.  Despite what you may like to believe, there is a lot of consumerism surrounding "babymoon" travel.  I don't like it, and that's my prerogative. Have a nice vacation; it sounds like you need it.
