Friends of ours got us some really good champagne for our wedding gift and we were saving the last bottle to celebrate the birth of our first. I bought special champagne flutes and everything. I was so tired when we got home, I wanted nothing to do with it and if my parents hadn't come over, I would have waited. But it did taste pretty good.

With my second I still haven't had my first glass get at 4.5 months.
