Hi guys, Hope you're all well and enjoying your weekends.
I just had to tell you about my afternoon. I went to a friends house for a BBQ and there was loads of us there. No-one knows about the pregnancy so ..... you know whats coming!! I spent the afternoon defending myself as to why I wasn't drinking/ eating BBQ meat, being around anyone that smokes (and that was a lot of them). God, it was so hard!!! They kept trying to persuade me to have some steak - it did look gorgeous - medium rare JUST how I like it! They were all drinking red wine - I would KILL for a glass of wine right now!!! And the smell of cigarrette smoke was alluring (I am now an ex-smoker). I did have a good time, but they must have all wondered why I was being such a miserable cow!!!
And to make things worse - we were planning our summer of BBQ's and boozy afternoons - it's tradition with us now. We do it every year. God how things are gonna change now!!!!!

Hmmmm yeah I would say that I'm going to have a difficult time with that on May 24th weekend with my boyfriends family. I don't think his aunts and uncles know yet.Talk about red wine-aholics haha. Mmmmm I'm an ex red wine addict haha.

You don't have to miss out on everything over the summer!! Make a bunch of virgin drinks and take with you!! A lot of my friends drink cranberry+vodka as their main choice of alcohol. I'm just planning of mixing up a bottle of cranberry+7up and bringing it with me so that I feel like I'm being social with a pretty drink as well

hehehe thats I've been planning on doing should my friends get arsey that I'm not going out now getting OH to go to the bar and get me a "vodka" and coke sans vodka lol. One of my friends have guessed due to the giving up of the cigs... but he guessed as his gf was also pregnant sadly hers didnt end happily and she lost hers at 8 weeks. However I have dodged my cousins 18th party where he promised to buy me the alcohol back that I have brought him over the past years but it's getting harder to dodge all this things!!

If I have to tell one more person I'm on antibiotics!!!! lol.

I had to not drink on my Birthday, which is so not like me. I've had to turn down chocolate mousse, dippy eggs, steak, and all manner of things I really love but can't have.

I'm with you on the red wine and medium rare steaks ... *drool* ... I had them the day I before found out I was pregnant - as though I knew it was my 'last meal'.

Not with you on the smoking thing thou, my OHs mum sat in the same room as me the other day and the smell alone almost killed me. My OH didn't even notice! He was too busy trying to fix their computer (I was mimming a cigargette guesture at him but he did't get it). And I was too poliet to complain (although I did cough a lot). My OH was mad when I told him later said he'd have said something if he'd have seen her.

Awww no that musht of been sooooooo hard!!

Thank god ive told people already lol
