Probably when they are around ten? :) if ever! We don't really drink anymore and haven't for several years ...I drank a LOT in college. I was more craving soft eggs, blue cheese, sushi, highlights. .. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323391 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:02:22 +0000 Beehive 1323391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @twodoghouse: Yes, though it was nice to have a first drink drink, caffeinated coffee was what I was really looking forward to after giving birth! That first coffee was heaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323362 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:48:30 +0000 twodoghouse 1323362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I think a huge latte will be the first "off limits" drink I want after giving birth too! I haven't had real coffee (non-decaf) in so long!</p> <p>But the first alcoholic drink I'll want is definitely a beer. All I want right now is an Old Speckled Hen, yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323356 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:45:56 +0000 Modern Daisy 1323356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wait, now I remember that my parents brought me champagne and wine in the hospital! I think I sipped some, but I was so deliriously tired that it was totally unappetizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323353 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:44:38 +0000 lawbee11 1323353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have my first drink until LO was around 4 months old. It was a mimosa and it was so good! I'm not a huge drinker and LO nurses a lot so I was always paranoid. Coffee on the other hand...I had that the day after I delivered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323351 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:44:01 +0000 Modern Daisy 1323351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a gray goose dirty martini. I went on and on about this throughout my pregnancy. My sweet DH surprised me with one the day we got home from the hospital, but honestly at that point it was the last thing I wanted, lol! I drank some of it anyway though, just because I could :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323349 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:42:48 +0000 pui 1323349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want champagne :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323343 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:41:00 +0000 KT326 1323343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Lost Coast Tangerine wheat when LO was about 2 weeks old.

I was so tired that I really didn't want it but DH was excited and my parents were over so we popped it.

I dreamed of beer and wine before that. In the 16 months since LO was born, I really haven't done a lot of drinking other than a wedding in October. The cocktails were so good at this wedding, I couldn't resist. It was rough waking up for morning routine with LO the next day though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323153 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:41:21 +0000 whodat 1323153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A tall, glorious icy cold beer... in the hospital right after my son was born :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-drinkcocktail-post-baby#post-1323151 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:40:57 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1323151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought about alcohol, but I was DYING for a coke.
