Oops, We Did it Again

Oops, We Did it Again

Looks like the LiARs are liars again! We better watch out or this might become a habit! 🙂

This time around since you all already knew Teal was pregnant we couldn’t just post a bunch of pictures of us out having a glass of wine or what not because, hello, Teal can’t drink!  So a lot of the pretending was done on Beth’s end.

Beth found out in late November that she was pregnant and went ahead and tried to avoid as many circumstances as possible where drinking was involved. 🙂  Except then in December we had a happy hour planned that included a friend that had recently had a baby, so thanks to Teal and Beth’s sister, Kate, the waitress only served Beth virgin mojitos that night.

December 12th

It was hard at the holidays hiding the fact that I wasn’t having a glass of wine with the rest of my cousins.  I tried to be sneaky and drink sparkling apple cider, but I had to hide the bottle so no one saw it and I ended up leaving the bottle over night hidden in my mom’s laundry room next to her laundry detergent.  Naturally, she needed to do a load of laundry Christmas morning and found it. . . it was hard not going ahead and getting to tell her that she was getting another grandbaby!

But I did appreciate one of my cousins going ahead and assuming my not drinking at a family get together was because I’m such a dedicated runner and give up any alcohol at a certain point before a race! 🙂  Yet another perk to being a runner!

Of course my first sonogram was scheduled for January 2nd so telling anyone over the holidays was pretty much out, but I would like to give a big shoutout to my brother, Scott, and SIL, Lindsay for letting us steal some of each of your thunder as we used their family Birthday celebration days to spill the beans. 🙂

All fake drinking pictures! And thanks to one of my client’s for giving me a bottle of vodka! Maybe it’ll still be around when I’m allowed the occasional adult bev again later this year!

Because I work for my dad he knew early, early on that I was pregnant.  He brings me coffee every morning, we occasionally go have a sushi lunch together (and we always get the same things) and sometimes go grab a glass of wine after a long, busy day at the office.  Since a lot of things would be changing I went ahead and filled him in that come August he’d be a Granddad for the 3rd time!

Congrats to Beth & Brent on their baby who is due August 6th!!
