I said to someone the other day I drank too much wine the night before a couldn't possibly drink any right now! lol
😂I like that explanation but I see these people weekly so they'll find out at some point AND they're church people so that's like double-hell if I lie probably.
I was the master of fake drinks during my pregnancies: twisted tea bottles filled with sprite, cranberry juice in seltzer water, and other fun fake drinks

I have also done club soda/similar in a glass with a lime wedge. For some reason a lime wedge affirms alcohol, in my experience.
bubblefan I would either skip the wine bar or go prepared to spill the beans.
I think you're right. I was seriously debating whether to bail but I SAH and I need the rare toddler-free adult time for my sanity, ha. I also realized it is a group we would lean on for support if something happened and (unlikely but) it might not even come up tonight.
I have birthday parties to attend on Friday night and Saturday night this week! The Friday night one is a group of friends/acquaintances that I definitely do not want to know before 1st tri is up. The Saturday night one is a group I don't want to tell until after the first US. Both are at bars *whomp whomp*. I will be having DH order me "gin and tonics" that are really Sprite with a lime It's a good trick if you want to prolong spilling the beans.
ETA: I should actually read haha. This trick, unfortunately, will not help at a wine bar! Just a regular bar.

GL to all those who are navigating social events! I guess I'm lucky that I don't have much of a social life these days, at least not one that revolves around much drinking. Sigh. Someday...

I just made a quick run to Aldi with my DD. We grocery shop at 3-4 places, Aldi is where I buy a handful of staples and a bunch of junk. I feel like I want to stop anyone who glances at my cart and be like, "only the croissants and milk are for the toddler, the sugary stuff is for me and my UNBORN child, TYVM."
Good luck to those at all their social events! I'm impressed you all have the energy to attend evening events - the fatigue is real over here!
I had a serious craving for spring rolls that hit out of no where. Sooooo.... now there are spring rolls in the oven. Let's just count this as my vegetable serving for today.

My last three sticky pregnancies, I ate everything. I was starving all the time.
This time, I am eating half of what I normally do. I gained twenty pounds between Thanksgiving and my bfp for no good reason, so I'm ok with this. My appetite is low. I'm sure it will ramp up later.
Add me to the impressed at social gatherings. I'm exhausted and going to bed at 8pm tonight.
I may have regrets about committing to two evening things. I'm 5+4 and I'm just getting my first taste of symptoms. I definitely felt exhausted by 3:30pm and am just a tad nauseous. Although, that may have to do with the mass amount of cookies I consumed earlier.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14

Seriously! what the hell is wrong with me. I was folding laundry tonight and decided to watch a couple episodes of The mind of a Chef. Now all I can think of are fried chicken and a bowl of steaming ramen. I am so hungry and pukey a the same time. That is like the most evil feelings to have ever.

Saw all of my family and then some this weekend and wasn't drinking and no one even asked me, The only person I think on to me is MIL cuz she's weirdly observant about those things , she was giving me weird looks all night during the super bowl while I was drinking all the water .
No one asked me last night either! We ended up switching to another place at the last moment and it was a place that had alcohol but is also known for their sodas, so awkwardness was avoided!
