Better to get it out of the way before the baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586965 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:03:36 +0000 Amelieisme 586965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for floors. While I do love vacation, the floors will be a permanent change while a vacation is fleeting. We had the luxury of doing both and I still value the floors more than that trip to the beach. BUT if it were something really extravagant vacation-wise, I might chose that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586944 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:58:08 +0000 MrsTiz 586944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Floors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586839 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:39:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 586839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with floors!</p> <p>Take a post-baby moon for a weekend instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586825 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:36:44 +0000 CottonCandy 586825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @zippylef...You won't want to deal with having new floors put in with a baby to take care of/chase after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586821 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:36:09 +0000 Boheme 586821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I like your style :) </p> <p>@lemondrop: The cleanliness option is what's killing me. I know it'll be much easier to just run a Swiffer over the floor before I put baby down than to have to vacuum (and still not get all the dog hair) every time I want to put baby Grizz and his blankets, toys, etc on the carpet.</p> <p>My practical side is saying floors... I just have that little tug on my heart that wants a couple of days at the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586807 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:33:31 +0000 loveisstrange 586807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do the floors, they will be SO much harder to get done once you have a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586795 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:31:19 +0000 yoursilverlining 586795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for floors, but I try to get away with as much as I can....so is there any way you could do the floors and do a dinner out and 1 night in a hotel in your hometown? (Or do room-service dinner in your hotel room so it's romantic?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586789 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:30:24 +0000 lemondrop 586789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hate being a grown up! </p> <p>The floors will no doubt increase resale value for way later on and be cleaner... but I truly value a good vacation- you won't be able to really relax for a very long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586785 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:29:49 +0000 Bluebonnet 586785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do the floors. Its going to be a nightmare to do any sort of major project (like replacing the floors in your house) once you have a baby. </p> <p>You can always go on a weekend away later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586773 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:27:20 +0000 Alivoo01 586773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I feel like the devil's advocate, but I vote for vacation. Maybe it's because we personally only go on once a year so I'd pick that option since it'll be the last vaca as "just you two". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586652 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:10:17 +0000 Bookish 586652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call me practical, but floors. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586647 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:09:41 +0000 808love 586647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the floors since you'll be at home with baby a lot...and have more time to stare at them. You can always go on trips! You can find resourceful ways to sneak in a different kind of getaway by adjusting priorities but to have a huge chunk for a big house purchase might be a little more hard to come by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586603 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:02:12 +0000 Smurfette 586603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Floors, otherwise once baby gets here it will be harder to afford them and a mess to deal with a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586600 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:01:49 +0000 autumnlove 586600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with floors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586595 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:00:44 +0000 Bao 586595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love a mini vacation, but I am more of a future thinker and would do the floors. I guess I'm boring ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586588 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:59:54 +0000 Dandelion 586588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, the floors would benefit everyone in the long run. I would choose them. DH would, too, cause he's Mr. Practical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-floors-or-babymoon#post-586582 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:57:18 +0000 Boheme 586582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I got a larger tax return than we were expecting! This frees up a little money to check off one of the items on our wishlist - but we can only choose one. </p> <p>I hate hate hate our carpet, and since we moved into our house 15 months ago, we've always said we'd replace the carpet with hardwood floors prior to having a baby. We've got a dog that sheds everywhere, and its impossible to get it all out of our carpet, even with vacuuming. Its just a weird texture of carpeting. </p> <p>However, I got pregnant more quickly than we anticipated! And a babymoon was also on our list. Nothing crazy, just a nice extended weekend away. DH has a construction connection, so the mini babymoon and the floors would cost us roughly the same amount. I'm just afraid we'll never do the floors post-baby. Then again, getting away will never be the same post-baby either :)</p> <p>Which would you choose and why? </p>
