As my pregnancy is nearing its much-anticipated end (we go in for a scheduled C-section next Friday, October 12th), I have to say that one of the most common questions I’ve gotten during this whole adventure is “How have you done it??? Don’t you miss wine/drinking/alcohol???” As I’ve talked about along the way, I realized after a while that it wasn’t the actual wine that I missed, but more the buzz that I was truly feeling without.
Of course, being pregnant makes not drinking more of a requirement than a challenge, but it’s still a choice and it still takes willpower and self-control. Now, what I’m wondering is: Could you do it? Could you go 40 weeks without that relaxing, warming, TGIF buzz that comes along with having a couple of glasses of wine or a martini or two? What’s your story???
Little Gary Browne. He sure is cute.
Haha…yes, Gary! Little Gary Browne is almost as good looking as you are!!! We can only wish…
BBQ at the winery on Sat. 12:00 to 3:00 if you’re around.
Hi there!!! Saturday might not work for us since we’ll be going in Friday for a C-section! Little Gary is scheduled to appear Friday afternoon, but we’ll be bringing him out to meet his namesake as soon as we can!!!
Do your selfs a favor. Sell him ASAP while he still has some residual value. Nwe babies are like new cars. They start going down in value the minute they leave the lot.
Hmm…not a bad idea, Gary. We’ll take that under advisement. Actually, what might be a better idea would be to drop him off at Eberle and let him work for wine. We’ll be needing a lot more very soon!!!
OK. Annie may be busy on Sat., but what about you Hoot??
HA! Very funny, Gary! Hoot will be stuck in the hospital with me…after all, he’s my secret wine stash supplier!
Thats good but I’d rather just have a secret stash.
Although I’ve never been pregnant (I’m a guy! hehe!) one of my hobbies is to train for triathlons so often, 2 weeks leading up to a race I shy away from alcohol/junk to keep the body clean as much as possible. So I can somewhat relate to how you’re feeling!
Haha…thanks for relating, Carlos! That’s awesome that you train for triathalons, and I’m glad that you didn’t classify wine as “junk”! 😉
Sure… When I was younger… And didn’t know better…
Haha…yeah, Dan! There’s not really any good reason now that we’ve seen the light! 🙂
Now you know why I don’t do triathalons.
Yeah, me neither, Gary!
You sure you can’t get away tomorrow while Annie’s sleeping??
