That's what I'm telling people that DH and I are up to if they comment on why I'm not drinking! We're totally on 'baby watch' by my friends and family and I just don't feel like spreading the news until the usual 3 month mark after we've heard baby's heartbeat.
I'm not a heavy drinker by any means but I never say no to a glass of wine at a family function, etc so it would be totally obvious if I just said I'm not drinking! This way it sounds like a fun and healthy goal that DH and I are doing together.
My alternative is to 'pretend' to drink by accepting a glass (my in-laws are huge party hosts and we go round there for large dinners several times a month) and sneaking it off to someone else. I've considered replacing a cooler with water if the occasion should arise but only as a last resort. Sneaky sneaky!
For those of you also on 'baby watch' or whose family would immediately guess the news if you didn't accept a drink, what are you telling them/doing?
