Sick, Sick, Sick!!!

It is not bad enough to have "morning sickness" all F'n day every F'n day. Now I have a MASSIVE cold. And as we all know..... you can't take S*#T for it!!! Sorry about the "language" but I feel very bad, and frustrated that I am now 13 weeks and feel as bad as I did at 8 weeks.

Fingers crossed that I don't kill anyone during this illness.

Sorry for the short rant!!! Hope the next post is lighter.

What is Fair?

Erin really likes her wine. She LOVES her Reislings and Moscatos. She's a sucker for the super sweet, dessert style wines. There was a stretch there that she was averaging about 3 bottles a month. (Which may sound like a lot, but keep in mind that the wine we drink is in the eight to fifteen dollar range...)

But, of course, now that she's pregnant, all alcohol consumption has stopped. And she does miss it to an extent, more the taste than the alcohol part. She never did drink wine with the intent of getting drunk, but she liked the taste of certain wines...

Anyway, we went to Olive Garden for Valentine's Day. (Apparently, garlic is the only thing that gets rid of the morning sickness taste in her throat.) And they offer around the "complimentary" tasting of the house white. Erin looks rather longingly at the bottle in the waitress's hand, but assures me that I can have a glass if I would like.

My contention is that this situation is not fair, no matter if she says it's okay or not. If I drink that glass of wine, in front of her, that is pretty disrespectful. Not to say that I'm an angel, and may not decide down the road to have a glass of wine or a shot of alcohol, but that didn't feel right to me.

Erin doesn't think this a big deal, and that I should have whatever, after all I'm "not the one that's pregnant". But, the short of it is, that just didn't seem right. You know?
