My baby is due on 17th May and have been invited to my cousin's wedding in Malta which is on 17th July. So depending on when baby arrives, she could be anything from 6 - 10 weeks old. The flight is only 3 hours. I'd love to go and see all my family out there and introduce them to Little Legs but I know there are a few practicalities to contend with so advice much welcome!!
Firstly, I obviously can't book our flights until she's born and I know her DOB, or can I? Obviously it'll also take several weeks to get her a passport.
We'd probably just go for a long weekend and we'd be staying at my auntie's house, so a lot less stressful than a hotel. But then it'll also be about 35 degrees and the poor baby will not like contending with mozzies all day long.
(DH also wants us to fly to 12 hours to Cape Town in December to see his parents, but that's another matter!)
Thoughts please!!
