    What did you use as an excuse? I ask because if and when we get pregnant, Chris dosent want to tell anyone outside of immediate family until after the first trimester.

    Everything we do with our friends involves drinking, so it will be hard to get around it for however many weeks the first trimester is. Its been a long time, I cant remember.

    This is how I found out one of my friends was pregnant. She wasn't drinking and I just knew!    

  • I used that I had be the DD for  DH! I honestly think that they figured it out b/c one of my friends called me and asked if I wasn't feeling well!

    You can take a beer bottle or whatever and dump it out and fill it with water.   

    I never actually used this, but you could say, "I got really drunk last night" or something like that...could work a couple times.  I wish I would've used a better excuse than "I'm just not drinking today" because pretty much my whole family figured it out!

  • What I've used so far is having something in my hand, so if someone has offered me a drink I can say, "Oh, I'll get that when I'm done with this" and then just not go and get the drink. Yesterday we hung out with a group of friends and my allergies were bothering me and I turned down a drink saying I took Benadryl and probably shouldn't mix. I should be able to get away with the allergy Benedryl excuse until I'm ready to tell people in about a month.
