And it's hard. So we've taken to drinking "mocktails" when we get together. We've tried the pineapple, orange, ginger ale, grenadine combo I concocted and I drink most beverages out of a martini glass or champagne flute these days to make myself feel like I'm partying like a rock star.
The other night, SJ came over with the ingredients for virgin pina coladas and proceeded to throw bananas, coconut extract, milk and pineapple into a blender with ice. We tried the concoction, threw a little more coconut extract into it and blended it again. Then we added some real coconut and blended it again. When we tried it, we knew something was missing and began to debate over what should be added. More milk? No. And definitely no more banana. It could use more pineapple, but we're out. What's not quite right? What's missing?
And then it hit us. It needed rum.
(Perhaps I should add a disclaimer that of course we didn't add rum to our drinks. We just sat sipping what was essentially a banana smoothie and tried to remember what rum tastes like. And we may have made a pact that each of us would bring the other a fancy drink in the hospital after we each give birth, but I'm not confirming anything.)

Perhaps, as a throwback to your youth, start drinking shirley temples again.
as your bloggy friend, i will take it upon myself to drink for all 3 of us.
This is when you take out the bottle of rum, open it, take a deep whiff and then sip your drink!
Rum flavored extract?
Also, the occasional glass of wine will not kill you or harm Baby.
You ladies are my type of gals. Hubs has already said he would bring me a bottle of wine to the delivery room. Such a sweet man. :)
Parties and free stuff… love it!
Have you checked out the Smirnoff India website? It is talking about the Smirnoff Experience parties happening in May! Also, seems they are giving away loads of headphones to anyone! www.smirnoff.co.in
