It's the Christmas season and mum wants to celebrate just like everyone else. But, I wont let her.
That's right; she isn't allowed to drink a drop of alcohol.
Now this is amazingly difficult when everyone around you:
- is drinking, and
- doesn't know your pregnant.
Mum tried to pretend by drinking orange juice and cocoa cola. Many people assumed there was some alcohol in these drinks so it appeared to work.
Well, until someone kindly shouted a round. Then she had to say she was slowing down a bit and would like an unmixed drink. That wasn't received well and many people just thought she was weird.
Ahhh, but she did try to sneak one past me. But she didn't succeed. Two sips and I knew. And I let her know the only way I could. She felt really really sick.
That'll teach her!
