My DH will probably not be able to take time off immediately following the birth of our baby. I will however have lots of family around to help, so will pretty much always have someone around in the first 2 months.

However, he should be able to have a week or two off when baby is around 3 months old. I am really looking forward to this and us being able to spend time as a threesome.

Part of me is thinking if we are just going to be at home looking after baby together why not do it somewhere more comfortable and warm.. Like a rented villa in Europe.

I live in London and so it would mean catching a flight. There are baby friendly villas that have some equipment and we would have to bring the rest.

Of course I wouldn't take baby out in the heat of the day etc. But part of me thinks it would be a nice chance for us to get out of the city. Not staying in a hotel means we could have the food and drinks we want and just spend the time in the villa, gardens, pool and nearby restaurants.

I won't have to book this before baby arrives and its just an idea. So I suppose I am wondering, would you have considered something like this?
