Kauai Babymoon

When I was pregnant with my daughter, we went to Hawaii as a little “last hurrah” before our family changed forever and we constantly talk about how special that trip was for the two of us. A couple of days after I found out I was pregnant with this baby, I knew I really wanted to go on a babymoon again with Will and once again, we are so happy we decided to take this trip together.

As sad as it was to leave my daughter at home, it felt pretty special to know we still had another baby with us. My placenta is actually in the back this pregnancy which means I can feel almost every single movement the baby is making this pregnancy. It is WILD! I really did feel like the baby was with us the entire time because it was constantly kicking and joining the party.

One of the best things we did was just RELAX. We both live pretty crazy lives but it was so incredible to just SIT and talk and watch the sunrises and the sunsets and read and have no care or plan in the world. That’s what Hawaii is all abought, right?!

Loved reading THIS BOOK while we were there. One of my new favorites!

If you ever go to Kauai you MUST go explore the Na’pali Coast. It was hands down one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever laid my eyes on. We couldn’t get enough of it!

You can see it by driving to certain lookout points, actually hike/camp in it (you need a permit to do this) and/or see it by boat. We drove to all of the lookout points and also saw it by boat and both were incredible. I can’t suggest paying for a boat tour enough. Worth every single penny! We did the Captain Andy’s one but I’m sure other companies are great as well.

Make sure you try to book your boat tour on the day with the least chance of precipitation. That will give you the best chance of seeing dolphins and the mountains clear.
