    Then after all the excitement died down and I was alone with him in the hospital room I was like "OMG WTF did I do"!!!! :laugh: Being a mom is awesome and I am so excited for you!

    Hahaha that'll be me, I highly doubt I'll cry but I know I'll smile all huge like a goof and be thinking "oof, what did I get myself into?!"

    I was the same way....not overly sensitive or baby crazy and I cried when they brought her to me. Not like a baby, but there were definitely tears. I always tell people, having a baby is the most fun thing I've ever done and I have done a lot of fun *kitten*. You'll love being a Mom. I can't wait for another one. Well I guess yes I can..... I'm trying to get through a June vacation and company and music festival in July before getting knocked up again... :smile:

    Chloe - nope. You didn't get to drink for 9 months. You should get at least that long to recover.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - plan is a 0 since I'll be drinking every other night this week.

    Way to say no Ashley!!!! I also behaved last night. We transferred our Imperial stout to secondary fermentation last night and tried it HOLY HELL its already amazing and we haven't even added the vanilla, coca nibs or espresso, I'm super excited! But after having that little taste it made me want a beer, but I didn't do it :bigsmile:
    Tonight I will definitely have some wine. Hopefully i can keep it in check. I have 10oz logged already, which should be plenty!!!!

    Hi Lushes....

    We put a bid on a lot today and are planning to build. They would break ground in June and be ready to move in the end of September. We are waiting to hear back and see if they accept our bid. So, it will be a nail-biting-night and wine to make me sleepy.

    Then, there's the question if we hold off on selling this one until late summer.

    Decisions, Decisions....wish I were shopping in Hawaii like Kate because there's a snow storm right now. :grumble:

    Kim, I don't envy you! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am stressed about selling our house!!! We plan on putting it up next spring, which gives us a year before our planned moving date. So if it sells right away we have to keep our stuff (small stuff, no furniture, just kitchen stuff, clothes, etc) in storage for longer. My in laws said we could stay with them, which is awfully nice but I don't want it to be there for too longer cause, well I like my alone time. If it doesn't sell right away then there is the stress of pushing back our planned move date! Oh well, it will happen when it happens. End goal of living in paradise will make it worth while!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got a gym workout in and a 4 mile walk after work yesterday so.......I had a LARGE cocktail (3oz) and 10oz of wine!

    Tonight, I will have some drinks, not sure what or how many. Len comes home from his training so we will see what the evening brings...although he is a bit hungover from partying too hard last night so it could end up being a very quiet night!!

    Tomorrow we are bottling a cider and his mom's 60th bday beer, other than that NOTHING. This is the last weekend until May 17th that we don't have anything planned so I will enjoy it!!!

    Happy friday Lushes!!!!

    I drank about a bottle of wine Wednesday night as expected.

    Last night I had 3 (small) ginger vodka with fresh granny smith apple juice and honey syrup martinis. I infused the vodka and made the juice and syrup myself. They were awesome. Thanks Pinterest! Then I had 3 little margaritas, then 2 glasses of red wine. I reckon that was about 6-7 drinks. But I had my first around 4pm so I feel fine today.

    Tonight not sure what we'll do. UK plays a late game so I will be drinking for that. GO CATS!!!!

    I am at training. I went out for lunch and discovered the Total Wine and More store. This could be a very dangerous place for me. So many wonderful bottles. They say they have over 8000 wines, 3000 spirits and 2500 beers. It brought a tear to this lushes eye. If only i had the time and the money to truly play in there. So I bought some Zaya and abottle of doug's favorite sparkling wine. It was a splurge.

    mmm, total wine and more...

    Last night we went to happy hour so they gave me a double, instead of two margs, then I had a coors light and my friend's extra blue moon.

    tonight we are going to dinner with my mothers-in-law, to a yummy place-Central Bistro Bar and there's nutella waffle with pretzel ice cream for dessert:tongue:

    House shopping is done. It will be our last house for sure. I've made sure that we can grow old in this one, use walkers and only need to use one level when the time comes. Of course, I am celebrating all day yesterday and today.

    Now, I have to get my house ready to sell.

    I miss my lush family :heart:

    Did Kat have the baby?

    Kind of lushy weekend.... Friday I had about a bottle of wine and some vodka. I didn't have much dinner, so I did some trash talking on FB in light of the UK-UL game. Which was awesome. I can't believe my Cats have made the Final Four! I would have never predicted that.

    Saturday we went to a family party. Had a glass of wine and appetizer prior. I had a rum drink at the party, then I think 4 glasses of wine. I was kind of buzzed at the party, got home, communicated with the babysitter, went outside to have a smoke (I know....bad) and all the sudden was hammered. I remember sitting on the deck taking deep breaths because I was spinning, ears were ringing....the whole bit. I came in, ran into some walls and went to bed.

    Yesterday had a couple glasses of wine and a beer.

    Shooting for a 0 tonight, but going out to dinner Tuesday. Maybe a 0 Wednesday or Thursday too.

    Ashley your Saturday night sounds like mine! I officially had my first hangover post baby and it was totally not worth it!

    We went to dinner for a friends bday and had a vodka and soda, glass of red with dinner and a pineapple martini for dessert. Then went to the bar and had about 3 glasses of wine and two light beers. We got home (husband drove of course) and I didn't even talk to my sister (which was our babysitter) I went to bed and passed out. Meant to pump and dump before I went to bed, so I woke up at five feeling like I was going to explode (sorry TMI) so I pumped and still dumped it because I think I was still drunk. Went back to bed and thank god the little guy slept until 9. I felt like absolute crap all day yesterday though. So nothing yesterday and I am thinking some zeros this week bc I still have no desire to drink.

    Friday=shared 2 bottles of red among 3 people, had a beer when I got home. I didn't think I was drunk but have a hard time remembering details of the evening?!
    Saturday=can of champagne, pint of beer for and an engagement celebration, then let that buzz die for a late night at comedy works-3 beers.
    Sunday=2 glass of wine (I measured one glass I poured and it was 8 oz.!) hard to keep track of those boxes of wine!

    Started a new show last night-Top of the Lake. I am intrigued. Only watched 3 episodes so far. Anyone else seen it?

    Well, this weekend consisted of way too much alcohol! But it's all good, it was a fun weekend!!! I cannot believe that today is that last day of March! Holy cow!! Where is the time going?!?

    My plan for April is to keep up better on here, I've been slacking the past few months :(

    I dunno what the hell happened to my pic up there. ^^^^ I must've still been drunk when I posted it.

    Hey lushes....

    I'm applying for a new job tomorrow. I've just finished my resume and coverletter, researched the website and learned their products. I will do the application tomorrow. It would mean healthcare sales and no more floor nursing. I am hoping to move on from floor nursing because all they do is want more, more, more.

    Seems like everyone is doing well!

    Kim- good luck on your new job possibility! Nursing is soooo under-appreciated! Esp by hospital admins.

    Syd- I just assumed that myFitnessPal took your photo down due to nudity. :blushing:

    bgrune- March is done?! holy cow

    Asj- wife and I just started a new show on Netflix. British show called Sherlock- looks promising.

    cloe- LOVE the baby pic.

    See you all in April. :flowerforyou:

    Saturday - 1 margarita
    Sunday - 2.5 rum & diet coke
    Monday - 2 glasses white

    Not shooting for 0's. I am just drinking when I am thirsty and stopping when I am satisfied. I am debating though whether I should drink my exercise calories.
