After I found out I was pregnant with our first, I had a different idea for what I wanted my babymoon to look like . I knew becoming a mother would require some lifestyle sacrifices, and that might include fewer solo trips, at least in the beginning. So, during my second trimester, I decided to take a solo babymoon to Grindelwald in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, which is known for its stunning natural beauty, scenic alpine hikes, and endless outdoor activities.
After the wedding, I remember sitting on the bed at my parents' house, where we were staying, and opening all the wedding cards bursting with cash. We were given about 4,000 Australian dollars at our wedding Some of our loved ones gave us as much as 300 Australian dollars, which we thought was incredibly generous. Others threw in AU$20, and we were so grateful for every cent. At the end of the card-opening session, my husband was holding a wad of money - roughly AU$4,000, or about $3,200 at the time.
