The Babymoon Biweekly is going weekly! There have been so many people looking for luxury babymoon ideas that it seemed only right to step up to meet the demand of parents-to-be who want that last trip that specifically celebrates their roles as parents. And since we couldn't agree more that a babymoon is not so much a privilege as a necessity, we're happy to show you where some of the best babymoons are.

Today, we bring you the Expecting You package at the Four Seasons in Chicago. Verbatim from their website, your special visit includes a lot of goodies (although we note that a lot of them are discounts on items or services that you have to purchase on top of the package):

• An in-room visit from the Ice Cream Man
• Midwest-style breakfast for two through In-Room Dining or in The Café
• A complimentary manicure from the spa when you book a pregnancy massage
• A "Toast to Fatherhood" in Seasons Bar for expectant fathers (we're not sure if a commiserating group of guys are rounded up for this)
• Complimentary copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting, with a reading light
• 20% off your purchase of baby announcement and/or baby stationery at All She Wrote
• A gift with purchase at Galt Toys
• A US$50 savings with a purchase of US$250 or more at Krista K boutique
• A gift certificate for 20% off your bag of delivery essentials from Little Stork
• A complimentary bassinet at Neiman Marcus with any US$200 purchase of layette clothing in the children's department
• A complimentary fruit-infused, non-alcoholic mimosa with purchase of dessert at Hot Chocolate
• A 20% savings on any purchase of fashionable maternity wear at Show and Tell
• A complimentary sitting fee from Classic Kids Photography when scheduling pregnancy or new baby photographs

We also like that they provide a special contoured pillow for the mom-to-be to ensure a good night of rest - something that can be a rare event in pregnancy and will all but disappear once baby arrives...
