The problem with being anxious about being pregnant is this:

MrsHoyt

My preferred way to relax is to have a michelada.  Because I am pregnant, I cannot have a michelada.  But, I wouldn't be so anxious if I weren't pregnant!

 A good problem to have, yes, but still.  Just typing the word michelada makes my mouth water.

 Ok, back to deep breathing and 80's ballads.

   What's a michelada?

MrsHoyt

A glorious gift from Heaven.  Its a mexican beer (of your choice) with tomato juice, splash of olive juice, tabasco, lime juice, a salted rim, and garnished with pickled, spicy veggies like olives, green beans, etc.  Think a Bloody Mary (which I do not like) with beer instead of vodka.

Ok, now I have to lock myself in my office so I don't run over to Woodrows for a little private HH.

I'm not sure what it is either, but I never want to drink as bad as when I'm pregnant and can't.  So if it is along the lines of a margarita, I'm right there with ya.  And, it is very much so one of THOSE days.

I, for one, am very very happy you will be michelada free for many months to come!  BabyHoyt will be so much  more fun!

MrsHoyt

Me, too.

However, I am going to try it with near beer and see how it tastes.  Worth a shot.  I had that Fre wine this past weekend and it kinda grew on me.

My mouth literally just watered.

Not a beer fan, but where do I find this wine you speak of?!?

Lots of people think that one drink a week is perfectly fine for the baby...

MrsHoyt

Ali- I can see myself doing that later on in the pregnancy, but I am in full on psycho mode right now.  Maybe with #2 I'll feel a little more comfortable.

You can get the Fre at HEB, Randalls, Specs, Twin Liquors, etc.  Its made by Sutter Home.  At first I thought it tasted a little like grape juice that had been left out for a night but then it kinda grew on me.  Kinda like real wine that way, I guess.

YUM!!! That is my favorite drink, besides the bloody mary. Wish I could have one.

MrsHoyt

I JUST HAD ONE!

I went to Woodrows and asked the bartender to make it with O'Doules.  It was DELISH- spicy, salty, yummmmmyyyy.

YAY!  I was going to ask if you could make it with O-Douls, but I was scared.

Maybe you just need to eat something salty?  Craving salty foods is common.  Or you can have a yeasty roll topped with hot salsa and some salt?  

MrsHoyt

Oh, that sounds wonderful!  I'll try it!
