Check-In Check-In

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

This is the check in check in!

1- how are all of your check ins going?

2- which check in is your favorite?

3- do you have trouble keeping up with all of your check ins?

4- QOTW- what check in do you wish existed?

5- why haven't you started that check in?

6-check in.

I may just be ignorant to how BMBs work but I feel like we have a lot of check ins. Before anyone asks, yes, I'm aware that I started the new mom check-in.

Please do not actually think this is a new check in and then post a "check-in check-in?" thread next Friday.

I may have had 3 glasses of wine tonight.

Checkincheckincheckincheckincheckincheckin.

Because check-in.

*disclaimer- some check ins are wonderful and useful.

*so is wine.

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

@megash113‌ not at all. That was my not-so-tongue-in-cheek-point. Checkkkkinnnn

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

@CiaoMama‌ wine and sleep are like literally best friends.

1linedrawing · March 2014

I'm open to wine suggestions. Just sayin.

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

@Beachbumm2214‌ not for sale? O_o

@1linedrawing‌ there's a moscato d'asti at TJ's that will rock your socks off. I had a dry red tonight. I'm an equal opportunity imbiber.

mdr619 · March 2014

Red wine checking in. 2nd glass. Zinfandel...mmmm!

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

This is why god invented those test strips for your breast milk alcohol level.

mdr619 · March 2014

Wine suggestion: Luscious Lips Red. Not really sure where it is sold, because it is from a winery about an hour away from San Diego. But my parents have found it elsewhere. It is a sweet-ish red that you don't need any food with, it's good by itself.

DH and I drank our bottle a couple nights ago and I am the sadz :-( Guess we need to go wine tasting again!

Also, Apothic Red is delicious. And Seven Deadly Zins.

Now I want wine... tomorrow night fa sho.

Seven deadly zins is yumz.

Eta: not drunk/still can't spell

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

FFC: DH and I met on a DMB fan message board circa 2002. On weekends after being out with friends the board regulars would create an aim chat room (throwback much?) and drunk chat....that is literally how I met my wonderful husband. I was also literally 17 at the time.

Omg! Yes!! I bought 3 bottles after touring the vineyard in Temecula. It makes the most amazing sangria!

Debating if I should pump right now.
Pros: remove engorgement, prevent leaking.
Cons: have to wash pump parts, and sit up straight.
Someone decide for me.

Pro- you'll have a bottle for later, so you can drink wine.

I can totally relate to this. I'm a member of the pearl jam fan club and was a regular in their message boards. I dated more than one guy from the boards (one of which lived all the way in nyc). Met my hubby through eharmony and he loves Phish like I love PJ. Yay for music love!

Pump! Engorgement sucks! But if you have a boppy, I've found if you prop it up behind you, it's a lot easier! And just rinse the parts tonight, wash them in the morning.

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

Yes pump!! I say this because I get clogged ducts like instantly if I wait too long to pump.

keags5496 · March 2014

This thread is awesome. I suck at check-ins in general because lazy, but a wine check-in..,now that I can handle. I actually need to go restock tomorrow (er, today) and I'm totally going to steal some of these suggestions.

shellbell3845 · March 2014

This is the best MOTN reading in quite some time. Eat slowly, LO.

emar129 · March 2014

Wine added to grocery list! I go back to work Thursday so it's a necessity at this point. Also added champagne...because mimosas

Beachmommy1029 · March 2014

Speaking of champagne... My new favorite in addition to mimosas is POM and champagne. Mom needs her antioxidants

goobermom · March 2014

Dang it...it's 4 am and now I want wine... but I'm also still on vicodin and therefore not supposed to have any alcohol...Boo.

Is 3:30 AM too late or too early for a glass of wine? I'm sitting in the nursery waiting for DD to fall back asleep. She is laying in her crib cooing. Melts my heart.

I say not too late. There's been a couple nights when I couldn't go back to sleep and had a glass.

Would people be massively offended if we made a list of all the check ins and then chose which ones are silly at this point?

Also, I'd like to start the "moms who are grateful for formula because we hate bloody nipples and want to drink more than one beer with dinner check in."

I

you megash. My thoughts exactly. Plus, this kid sleeps soooooo good on her formula.

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

7:06am checkin here checkonetwocheck

I'm glad to see that this has turned into the wine thread.

I also recommend 2009 (or really any) Witness Tree Pino Noir *drool*

I ep and still drink wine, if you drink too much you pump and dump. I could see guilt issues is you pump or produce exactly what you need to feed and have no backup but otherwise wine away!

And I second all the tapas.

And yes I just woke up after sleeping from my last post till now....also glorious and maybe better than wine.

notreal2 · March 2014

h only wine I like is ice wine, which is basically alcoholic Kool-Aid. So I am checking into the wine check-in as a total poseur. Check-in pretentious liar check-in.

djtippietoes · March 2014

I tend to buy wine based on if I like the label or not. This doesn't always work out in my favor. The wine with the cute, walking pancake - not so good.

shellbell3845 · March 2014

I'm checking in to report that I've got no wine, but I did remember during the 8am feeding that I had cinnamon rolls in the freezer. They're defrosting in my oven right now.

ziggy903 · March 2014

Just checking in to say I love this thread so much

littlepig2 · March 2014

@Beachbumm2214‌ peach sangria is the best!!

check check checking in to say my favorite wine is Relax. it's a Riesling and it comes in a really pretty blue bottle. I think it's $7 so you know it's the fanciest wine imaginable. I drink that stuff like juice. check yo'self before you wreck yo'self.

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

Also I'm JS but if I start a wine check in I refuse to call it that. It will be called "The Grape Escape."

Btwilhelm · March 2014

This thread makes me feel so much better that I plan to have a drink or four tonight.

That's what a freezer stash is for right?

MissDemeanor · March 2014

Jacobs Creek Muscato is cheap and yummy.its from Australia, not sure how easy it is to get in the US. Perfect for a summer day, or pretending it's summer

VeronicaAnn143 · March 2014

Ok angry orchard is what I drink on our annual trip to west palm beach and I couldn't last summer. I mean, yeah, baby > angry orchard but YOU KNOW.
