Threw some people off the trail

We are really trying to keep things quiet until we see the doc on Thursday, but people are getting suspicious.  Last night we had some crazy storms, which included tornado warnings (at least 2 touched down within 10 miles of us, I think) - I am terrified of tornadoes!!  DH said he was going to open a bottle of wine.  I told him I want a tiny bit, so he poured me about 1/8 of a glass and I had about three tiny sips and was happy. So, not only did a friend of ours come over and see me with a glass of wine, but I posted on FB "Nothing like a glass of wine to help me get over the terror of a tornado warning".  It worked!!  One of our friends saw it and told DH that he had been getting suspicious but that told him otherwise.  But the friend who came over asked DH if I should really be drinking wine.  I totally faked the chug with the rest of it on my way to the kitchen and dropped it in front of DH to finish.  At least I threw off some folks!

    DH and I are having fun thinking of ways to make people still people I am drinking (or can) until we tell everyone. This usually involves me opening a can and pretending to drink - DH drinking a can and filling it with water and switching cans.

    I can only say "I had too much last night" or "I don't feel like drinking" so many times.

    I still haven't figured out how to pull that off because I don't drink beer!  I've tried avoiding social situations altogether, but they don't buy that either as I am very social.  Unfortunately, as a wine drinker, wine goes in nice clear glasses and there isn't much that looks like wine and isn't... although with Passover coming up, there are some nice sparkling ciders out there Smile  Why are people so nosy?!! Stick out tongue

    Oh yes, wine is definitely more difficult. ;)

    We are throwing people off our track too. I have had more people tell me I am glowing over the last two weeks. To which they follow-up with "is there something you need to tell me?" One of them was my MIL Saturday night. To which I replied nope just happy. One lady asked the samething about two weeks ago and I replied, well I've been using a new moisturizer. We are telling this Easter Sunday and I CANNOT wait!!!

     

    Good luck to all you curve throwers......

    We had to do the same thing!! We had out of town company, and they were all drinking, which my husband and I don't do a lot of anyway, and were like, you have to at least have A beer with us.  So I'd take a little sip then take it with me while my husband was grilling and pour some out in my flowerbed, fake another sip, go out to take him hot dogs, pour some more out. 

       Best of all, my MIL was there too (who told everyone 2 months ago I was KU because I drank MILK one night!) so it's thrown her off the scent. I joked with my SIL that I"m going to have a half empty pack of cigarettes and a beer bottle in my hand every time I see her because all I hear is "Are you PG yet?" and "what's wrong with you that you aren't getting pg?"

     OK sorry for the rant.  Some days living close to the ILs just is too much to handle : (
