Moscato? Give me some Malbec and I'm happy

CandEChicago · October 2014

Vouvrey and Voigner for me please. Or some Bailey's would be really nice too.

My DD was a birth control fail baby.

My DS was a post deployment got shit faced drunk baby.

This baby was also a post deployment baby. Thought we missed my window because he got delayed coming home. But the day he got back was the day I ovulated, also lots of alcohol was involved again.

Serunatu · October 2014

Give me all the pinot noir! And @misskilljoy‌ the Bailey's egg nog and hot chocolate goodness sounds right up my alley! Definitely trying that this year

I believe this baby is a whiskey baby, that or "we should probably have sex before we meet your mom for lunch" baby

One of my favourite parts of Christmas is mixing Bailey's, egg nog, and hot chocolate. That's happening whether this baby is here or not.

This sounds so good!

This baby's conception was planned (both for long-term reasons and short-term goals of drinking a ton on vacation and then trying) and it was the first cycle of let's see if we can do this charting and temping thing and then after thinking we had done it wrong, apparently we were somehow right on target.

Noodlesandrice · October 2014

Morning ladies! I had an appointment this morning and they weighed me like always...my weight has FINALLY stalled. Whoohoo!! OB wasn't too worried, baby is getting big and pushing on my stomach and I can't eat much without getting nauseated or feeling indigestion lately.

CandEChicago · October 2014

I like reds but there was no way I was going to attempt to spell my favorite.

AnonnAni · October 2014

This LO was a lets try for a 3rd but know that lightening wont strike a 3rd time for this " infertile mom".. Guess lightening and a combination of tracking everything does strike 3 times.

Totally off the alcohol topic, more on the "I feel like I'm on drugs" topic. I just saw a commercial for Janimals: The Stuffed Animal You Can Wear. So disturbing... Seriously...

Oh god! They're going to create a generation of furries!

That's why you just call it cab @CandEChicago‌

irish2014 · October 2014

@rshamos‌ +1 to Malbec. Have you tried a Carmenere? I've had some good and inexpensive ones from Chile. They're sorted in the same category in my head, though that probably doesn't mean anything other than the fact that they both always appear on wine lists under "interesting reds" (wtf does that even mean?!?)

Still want my Guinness though. But we've been over that already

smirinoff green apple...mmmm

RaeChay · October 2014

I too will try any wine. Apparently I'm trashy though because my favs are almost invariably red blends.

Though this time of year I SO crave hot buttered rum. With kraken. Mmmm.

This little boy is the product of another month of trying! (Yawn)

Tastes like Jolly Ranchers! The watermelon was my favorite.

Also, gimme champagne or a sparkling Shiraz! Bubbles!!!

There will be some sparkling rosé in my delivery room!

BrainCellSup · October 2014

I'm also a fan of Viogniers; I love a minerally white, albarino, gruner veltliner, once had a grillo that was recommended by a waiter when I described what I liked and it was fantastic. I like the oaky, leathery reds, zinfandel and priorat among the tops. Also all the beer, especially IPAs, stouts, and porters. Hard liquor-wise I'm a gin fan, though I'm developing more of a taste for bourbon and scotch as they are DH and my sister's favorites, respectively.

ETA: I didn't realize how much I still miss drinking! It was harder over the summer, I think, to not be able to sit out during a bbq with beer in hand, but I feel like I could go on and on with my list. Also, I had a half glass of hard cider the other day and it was so delicious.)

@misschristinemarie, have you had lambrusco? Sounds like you would love it!

Mmm Lambrusco! I like anything but Chardonnay!

And I am a true Oregonian, I like beer. Real beer. Crafts. IPA \m/

brookey79 · October 2014

Having a great day! Started off crappy thinking I was going to be late for work and knowing I had a long day ahead of me. Then I got there and the power was off at school. All the teachers just stood outside sending the kids home. The power came back on at 8:30, but it was too late. We had already sent everyone home. The teachers got to leave at 9am, so I have an unexpected day off. Woohoo!

Noodlesandrice · October 2014

I love reds and rarely drink whites unless it happens to pair really well with something light in the summer. And then only if it is a chard or Pinot Grigio. I just can't with the moscato or Riesling anymore since they are so sweet. I did love those at one point though so I can't hate on them too much.

Horror of horror, ladies...DH sprung on me the fact that he wants a completely dry household after LO is born. I was so looking forward to all of my wine again. :-( FIL is an alcoholic and DH is pretty sick of it. DH voluntarily gave up alcohol cold turkey because he can't stand watching what his dad is doing to himself and to his mom. DH has a very strained relationship with his dad and basically decided at age 8 he wanted to be nothing like him in all areas.

So he told me bc LO has a genetic risk for alcoholism, he wants and expects a dry household so LO doesn't see us drinking at all and doesn't grow up thinking it's a normal thing to drink with dinner. Cue major disappointment. DH is pretty laid back normally and doesn't ask for much and since it's so important to him I agreed but I am mourning. I know it's silly and dumb but I really enjoy my glass of wine daily and was looking forward to that again. Plus, MY family doesn't have that risk...can't I have a few bottles of red in the house and teach LO about what responsible drinking looks like in an adult? Haha I sound like a wino/terrible mom right now but he just sprung it on me and I have the sads.

Noodlesandrice · October 2014

Good idea @tairairat!!! I will do that, just to see how adamant he is. FIL is on the rampage again (he always drinks and gets wasted daily but every now and then he goes on insane benders where he's downing brandy and scotch at 9 am all the way through). Maybe that's what got DH riled up about a dry household and hopefully he calms down in a few days.

Hopefully he takes it back and is ok with me having a glass of wine with dinner or during a movie at home 3-5 nights a week. That's not asking so much, right?

RaeChay · October 2014

Agree with @tairairat‌ - responsible drinking might be a good topic to bring up. The "all or nothing" approach is pretty harsh, especially when your LO is teenage years, which will likely be the years that count.

That is disappointing though! For your own sake I would at least argue that you've been dry for 9 months and should get the next 9 to have what your like before accepting the teetotaler life!

abcmom12 · October 2014

DH was quoted the estimate for his car maintence due...drumroll, $800.

Um, NO, we cannot afford that right now. Unless it's critical to repair, it can wait and we can save. All our cards are finally back to zero balance and we're trying to save up for the 20% we'll owe for the birth. We can't do both right now unless HE makes some sacrifices, ie, no more Magic cards till the car is paid.

CandEChicago · October 2014

@misskilljoy‌ - I think we are all a mess at this point.

abcmom12 · October 2014

Ok, seriously, where has everyone gone this week? Hodor 2.0 is not going to grow like we need it to to be safe at this rate..

@Anna930‌ I am not caught up here, but I haven't seen our resident furry in awhile.

Shortstack06 · October 2014

@MissChristineMarie‌ I am forever scarred and will forever be grossed out by furries. Some don't talk and you never see their actual face or body during their orgies. I keep thinking of the poor women he has had sex with and didn't know it. I know it may seem shallow but I shudder and gag thinking about it.

Eora3 · October 2014

@Noodlesandrice‌

My parents were both children of alcoholics and I was raised in a dry house with the message that "alcohol=bad". Can you guess what my teenage rebellion looked like? I was a drunken mess through my first year of college and actually attended a few AA meetings before I realized I wasn't an alcoholic but I had major issues with my narcissist mother (obviously a whole other issue).

My children will see me drink on occasion and see that it isn't some thrilling forbidden anti-establishment thing. How can you make something more boring and unappealing to a teen than by having them watch their parents do it casually?

Furthermore, your husband's logic is flawed. Clearly, watching irresponsible drinking has not turned your husband into a raging alcoholic so why would he think it would do that to your children?

Also, if your FIL was addicted to porn would your husband stop having sex? No, because he is not his father. He is an adult and fully capable of making choices about his behavior.

Additionally, what is with this paternalistic decree? Does your husband tend to power trip like this and order you around? In my house, I have just as much say so about what happens in the "household" as my husband and I am waaaay too old to be asking anyone permission for anything.

Holy what, how have I never done this before?

That's it. This has to happen. Except god damn it, it will be the dead of winter when I can do this next.

Agreed. Surprised I never learned about this in college.

CandEChicago · October 2014

My friends put Bailey's over grilled peaches (in lieu of ice cream). I was literally drooling. Going to have to try both come late December/January.

They look like fire-roasted marshmallows with Bailey's in them and I need them now.

Also, either my sginature or Stormy's is just wrecking TB's header. I'll blame mine. Investigation time!
I have so much un-drunk Bailey's in my house. Tragic, really.

Why is this tragic? I hear PP Bailey's milkshakes in the future.

Serunatu · October 2014

@Noodlesandrice, there is a difference between seeing mom have a glass of wine with dinner and seeing mom finish her bottle of vodka and dad get livid because he's out of beer and the liquor store closed. I would definitely bring this up to your hubby again. I think it's very important to show drinking responsibly! But, if you decide to go with a dry household, I hope you are able to get out once in a while

brookey79 · October 2014

Mmmmm....I have 2 bottles of mint chocolate Bailey's in the house right now. In January, I'm going to have to try them with marshmallows, over ice cream and over peaches! Yummy!

amedbery · October 2014

@Noodlesandrice‌ - of the two friends I had growing up that had very unhealthy relationships with alcohol, one came from a family who drank too much and one from a dry household. The one thing these homes had in common was not setting an example of drinking responsibly and in moderation. Also, your H can choose not to drink but he shouldn't force you to do the same, as long as you aren't drinking to excess. I'd let him know you plan on drinking to some degree after LO is born and that the two of you need to discuss how to teach your offspring how to have a healthy relationship with drinking - and come to a resolution that is mutually acceptable.

ETA grammar!

Noodlesandrice · October 2014

I will talk to DH in a few days, he's usually pretty reasonable and laid back, I feel like this is mostly seeing his dad on another bender. He will prob calm down and not freak out so much later, but I def think having a totally dry household could backfire also like most of you have said.

In other news, I went to a babies r us today in hopes of finding 3 specific things since I have a gift card for that place and it had none of them. I wanted to find the Snuza hero, a specific baby monitor, and cotocomo silicone bottles. I got frustrated after searching every freaking shelf and aisle there bc the staff knew nothing. I did get tired and take a 15 minute break to sit in the gliders and glare at the non helpful staff. Now I'm hangry.

BRU and TRU have the worst customer service ever. Second to Walmart of course. Sorry they didnt have your stuff.

BayCamp · October 2014

So my name is Bailey (spelled different but very very close) and the last 2 pages hurt my head to read, I just kept seeing my name! Lol

Funny Baileys story: one drunk st. Patricks day I found out they made flavored baileys. I drunkenly yelled out "I come in different flavors?!" And have not lived it down many many years later.

Do you all feel like you can tell what body parts are involved when your LO moves around? I can guess at smaller bonier movements being arms or legs and when I get the lopsided stretching to one side I imagine it's the baby's butt, given the head-down position baby was in at my appt last week, where the doctor did an in-office sonogram. Then again I'm not convinced the baby hasn't turned around since sometimes the lump feels hard and skull-like.

ETA: Sometimes I get hit/stretched on opposite ends of my belly or even all the way around at the side of my waist and then I have no clue what could be going on. It's fascinating.
