Wine Wait is OVER!

While in Europe prior to being pregnant we went to this amazing little Italian place in Switzerland owned by an Italian couple. It was our anniversary dinner and it was so memorable. While at this dinner I had the best "bottle" of wine in my life. 

   

Disclaimer: it was a LONG meal, I'm talking hours, and this wine was only 5% alcohol.

It was a moscato di'asti! It was from Italy and it was the most expensive wine I had ever had (mind you I don't normally order a whole bottle at a restraunt, so expensive to me is not like others) it was over $40 for the bottle but once I had two glasses I decided price wise I should drink the whole bottle, plus we were on vacation and it was our anniversary, plus is was 5% alcohol.

Fast forward a month and we are back in the US. We were attending a concert in my friends field. (No joke, a concert in the middle of a cornfield, like you see in country music videos.) Brian found me a moscato di'asti for the night and I was on cloud nine! It was so good. 

Since I was the DD to drive my family home from the concert for the night, while we were at the pre-game party I was able to enjoy the whole bottle again. It was not exactly the same but it was close, and it was hitting the spot. Brian drove us all to the concert and I didn't drink anymore. (Told you this in so my Grandma knows I was good 😊) After the concert all the "drunkies" decided we needed Taco Bell, so off to taco "hell" I drove. I ended up getting a taco, then after getting home and eating we all went to bed.

The next morning around 6 AM I woke up and could have sworn I was hung over! I was puking, felt super nauseous, had a headache, and it was terrible. After sleeping on the bathroom floor until 9, I decided it had to have been taco "hell", since I didn't drink enough to ever even get a buzz let alone be hung over today. All morning I felt terrible.......the next morning same thing.....this leading to me realizing I may be pregnant and should take a test. And indeed....+PREGNANT!!!! 

Yes this was super exciting since we had JUST started "trying", but it was bittersweet because it meant that the amazing wine I just discovered would not be able to be enjoyed again for close to a year. 

Today, an entire 11 months and one day later, after working up my milk stash, I had my first "glass" of the moscato di'asti. (Did I mention it taste like Sprite!!) Another disclaimer: I didn't drink this whole "glass" because enjoying a glass of wine with a newborn is different too, plus I think my eyes were bigger than my tummy because it had been so long. But I did enjoy it in between being a mommy. It was worth the wait and since it's so low in alcohol content I was able to avoid pumping and dumping!!!
