In some ways the younger the easier. Nursing means you don't have to worry about their ears not popping, and they'll sleep a lot on the plane and the trip (that was me and my sister). But then again, you could end up with a colicky one (my baby brother - man was he a pain as a baby lol). Definitely good not to try to plan too far ahead and just see how things work out.
As for your due date *shrugs* the baby will come when the baby comes. Just enjoy the journey.

Glad you are alive K! Hmm... maybe flying is a bit ambitious!
H favours driving/ferry to Brittany in France as its only 1 1/2 hrs to ferry port for us here and 6 hour ferry, then 1 ish hour other end to the holiday accomodation... doable ??? I got it wrong, the baby would in fact be THREE months old! So maybe a bit young.
Things are quiet for me too... still feel hurtful memories from the past wierdly creep in at the oddest times, strange, will they ever totally go away !?? I guess it was a massive trauma at the time, so perhaps not. Still impossible to square the man who gets out of bed to make me hot milk at 4am and rubs my back to the man who moved out and wouldnt even give me his address...

Had a little look in Newcomers.. wow theres a lot of guys on there nowadays.
My BFF was a classic WAW.. her H is NOT coping at all, he is hounding her, begging her to reconsider, telling her he l*ves her is desperate and low (NOT getting a life, or sorting out the things about him she had grown to detest etc).. interestingly, she said, had he been doing the opposite, leaving her be, respecting her need for space, sorted himself out, GAL, being a better father (he's getting better there at least) smartened up etc etc.. she WOULD give him a 2nd chance!
As it is, she is begining to dislike him and has told him contact has to be reduced and he is not to call her, else she will change her number.
I wonder if it was something to do with the full moon or some such. I was dealing with a lot of unwanted hurtful memories as well. It's strange how they still pop up after all this time.

So are you going to pass that info on to her H? I would as in this might help, not this is what she said. So fun to picture tiny you with a big round belly.
Big hugs, kat

(((((Ali))))) Getting the due date from a scan is just a statistical exercise. Since you know, I would say that the date of the scan being just four days different supports what you knew anyway. Beside, no one tells the little ones the due date, anyway!
We went transatlantic with our youngest at about 3 months. A bit of a challenge, but not that bad. I maintain that the sooner you start traveling, going out, things like that, the more they adapt, and it just gets easier. Which isn't to say there isn't a nightmare now and then! But little ones are creatures of habit, and habit can include dealing with different situations regularly, rather than just now and then.
the baby would in fact be THREE months old! So maybe a bit young.
A perfect age to travel with a baby - especially if you are breast feeding them. my youngest had been to three European countries between the ages of 8-12 weeks - driving.

Oh hi guys... Michelle, yeah I thought that too, alot of my friends seemed to have been very emotional and I was thinking about the past quite a bit.
Kat - I did try, twice.. but he's just got too many issues, its like, where do you start? He's an alchoholic (managed to cut down to one night a week now) and depressed. It wouldnt be in her interests to help him get back with her right now, if you see what I mean. But, she says never say never and I do encourage her to keep an open mind, IF he sorts himself out. They have two adorable children too, 4 and 3 years old.
Hi DesertRat! I was wondering where your thread was and how you were doing.. well thanks for the vote of confidence on travelling! And yes, it is coming up soon.. but still 10 weeks to go?
Saffie too, thanks for all your comments, maybe we should be brave and book it !?
Had a difficult week as I was taken to hospital in an ambulance Tuesday night as I had an irregular heartbeat/missed beats. I've had these ectopics for past 9 years, but it was much worse. Made me laugh though.. as they took me to the Delivery Suite to do an ECG.. on the baby! I was like..what about me and my heart!? I instincively knew the baby was ok and it was. I'm still getting dropped beats, but the Doc says not to worry about it, they are horrible but benign.

Heck! You only live once so.....take the trip. Thinking back on it, I think I would have done it if I had the means back then. I took Marc to Disneyland for his first time when he was 10 days old and everyone though I was totally crazy for that but it was perfect. Babies adjust really well as long as they are exposed to several different atmospheres early on. GO FOR IT!
Hope the heartbeat problem doesn't cause you any further added stress.
