As a belated 40th Anniversary celebration for my parents, we set sail for the islands and spent a week on Oahu at the Disney Resort, Aulani. Of course, as any new mom, I was a nervous nelly about the plane ride and prayed to every god/saint possible that our little precious would in fact, be precious on the flight. Thankfully, my airplane karma is in good shape and my prayers were heard. Peanut flew like a champ, and conveniently expressed her relief to getting off the ground by promptly soiling her drawers right after takeoff.
Oh my god, I just did it.
I was just that mom that talks about her child's bowel movements. Apologies, apologies.
Moving along...the resort was absolutely fabulous. The perfect combination of Disney, luxury resort and island inspiration. This vacation was unlike any we have ever taken. The whole baby factor, as it turns out, is a huge factor. Gone are the days of lounging poolside, sipping on sizzzurup. Now it's all about shade, nap time and nursing. Sexy. Motherhood. But it's also about experiencing the sand between your toes for the first time all over again, taking a dip in the ocean and seeing fish for the first time all over again. being introduced to Disney and meeting and Mickey and Minnie for the first time all over again. It's new and exciting and different. It's the next stage in life.
But speaking of sexy, how about putting on a bathing suit 4 months after giving birth? I'll withhold all shamu/whale comments, but let's just say, the beached sea lion and I had a thing or two in common. Should have hung a sign around my neck with a disclaimer (Just gave birth, body may appear larger than usual). Now I know for next time. But you don't want to hear about my postpartum body trials and tribulations, right?
You want pictures! Darling, baby in bathing suit pictures!
