First cocktail after baby?

  This is so hard. I've been thinking about it for a week or two and I just don't know.

  
  

  Likely it will be a margarita. But, we also have a few bottles of wine from our friend's winery that I haven't tried yet and I'd love a glass of that. 

  
  

  But I also really miss beer.

  I've had the occasional glass of wine or beer throughout my pregnancy, but the heartburn/indigestion has made me unable to enjoy even a small drink lately. I can't wait to celebrate heartburn free and a cute baby to boot!

  I don't know if I can pick just one...I may go in a bender like I haven't since college.
  
  Kidding. Sort of. It'll probably be my favorite smores martini if it's still in that season for the bar. If not, it'll be a beer. I've been sniffing my DH's beer every time he orders one.

  My husband and I went on a date a while ago to an alcohol friendly theater. I definitely want to go post baby and enjoy a huge margarita and bag of popcorn! Mmm!

  My mom said that beer is good for breastfeeding.....so I may try a few new gf beers and see if any taste good. Haha. I miss drinking regular beer.
  
  But... I think I decided on a wine to buy for myself: Apothic Red blend.

  Ohhh apothic red is so good!!
  
  I'm a big wine drinker but lately I just want something stronger like a red raspberry martini from Cheesecake Factory or a French martini!!! While beer is good for breastfeeding I just don't think it's going to cut it as my first drink!

  Most likely a hard cider. My absolute favorite and I've been dreaming of them since fall. Either that or a cranberry Moscow mule

  I've been thinking about this a lot, and I go back and forth between a nice frosty craft IPA, or a glass of red wine - will just depend on my mood at the moment! Can't wait though!

  Our hospital has a liquor license so we can bring drinks in to store in the fridge in our room.  We'll be packing a bottle of champagne along with the champagne flutes from our wedding to celebrate after our baby girl's arrival!

  THIS is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
  
  And love the idea of bringing your flutes from your wedding!

  A glass of wine. Mmm. Sounds so delish. A big, margarita on the rocks will be next on the list.

  I crave margaritas so so so SO badly when I'm pregnant and breast feeding. It's ridiculous, really. I can't wait to have this baby so I can indulge in one. I've had the occasional glass of wine or sip of champagne here and there, but it's tequila that makes my mouth water ....

  Will probably open up a bottle of wine that we bought while in Napa last year.

  What is this fuzzy navel long island you speak of? I've had a fuzzy navel and a long island but not the combo?
  
  PS. I think it would probably kill me after this many months not drinking.

  It's pretty much just orange juice, cranberry juice vodka and Long Island mix! Mmm

  Not a cocktail fan, and I would say wine, but to be honest, I already had a teensy weensy tasting glass half full of red wine the other night. So probably a delicious delicious beer. If I had my way, a Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale, but they don't sell that up here. Or maybe an Ace Pear Cider.

  This set off my already overactive salivary glands. A few more weeks and I can enjoy one, sans drooling!

  One very dirty grey goose martini, please!
  
  We've also been saving the champagne (with new flutes) that my mom gave us for our wedding. I was preggo, so we decided to save it.
  
  I need to figure out the schedule for drinking and breastfeeding. I think it's something like 1 drink 2 hours before feeding? That still doesn't sound right...
