Jessica Simpson loves to drink. Always has, always will. I imagine that’s one of the reasons she’s been eating so much during her pregnancy – this is the longest she’s gone without a drink in more than a decade. Pre-pregnancy, there were always stories about Jessica getting blitzed at various clubs, but unlike some crackheads we know, I’ve always felt like Jessica probably does not have a drinking problem. In my mind, there’s a difference between “a person who likes to drink socially, and enjoys a good scotch on the rocks with her expensive meal” and “a person who drinks and acts like a dumbass and endangers everyone else.” Jessica is the former. The girl especially loves her scotch – and she even has a favorite brand: Macallan 18. But now that Jessica is about to give birth (any second now, hopefully), she’s preparing for her first postpartum drink. And she’s determined that it’s going to be the very best:
Jessica Simpson has instructed her family to forget flowers, candy and balloons when she gives birth – and requested a $500 bottle of scotch! Jessica adores The Macallan 18, but for her special delivery, she asked for The Macallan 30, a single-malt scotch that is aged for a minimum of 30 years.
“That’s Jessica’s champagne,” a friend explains of the hard liquor. “She stopped drinking as soon as she found out she was pregnant, but couldn’t wait to have a glass of scotch on the rocks.”
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]
I can honestly picture Jessica wanting to crack open the Macallan 30 while she’s still in the delivery or recovery room. I tend to believe this just because Jessica seems like the kind of woman who hasn’t thought the whole alcohol thing through – like, it’s going to affect her breast milk. Like, that baby girl is going to be drinking White Russians for the first six months of her life.
Incidentally, you know how everyone was saying that Jessica was going to name her daughter something starting with “M”. In Touch always said it was “Maxi” and my guess was “Margarita”. But now I’m wondering if Jessica isn’t going to name her baby girl Macallan Tequila Johnson. Jessica should name her daughter after her beloved scotch. It’s not the worst name at all.
One last thing – Jessica released this lovely video of her baby shower. The food looks awesome!

Cosign! Also LOL @ ‘that baby girl is going to be drinking White Russians for the first six months of her life.’
I doubt this story is true, though. New mommies don’t drink- unless they give their babies shop-bought milk, but I’m sure Jessica will at least try to breastfeed for a while. I’m not judging anyone for not breastfeeding their kids or anything, cause it seems like a hell of a job to me, but I can imagine you’d want that sort of bonding phase with your newborn.

Cosignx3. But a drink is possible if you time it right. The difficulty is that the littlest ones don’t necessarily have a schedule, so I ended up waiting. I also thought it wasn’t a good idea to drink while I was taking pain meds after my C-section.

If you unexpectedly find out you have to pump instead of nurse a huge unintended benefit is being able to schedule in the beer you missed so much while pregnant. DH said the look on my face while enjoying a Summer Shandy last weekend was the definition of “bliss”.

my sister-in-law’s OBGYN suggested that if she wanted a glass of wine, she should have it while breastfeeding, since it won’t get into her system before the baby is finished and it gives her the longest time window afterwards. unless of course the little one is in a snack-y mood where she drinks every hour. but in a pinch, you’ve got formula.

I want to try this scotch so bad! I’m a sucker for a good single-malt… and by “good”, I mean “50 dollar.” I wish I could afford such a luxury.

I personally love Macallan and ran across this whilst searching for a macallan 30. Hell I might just send her a bottle, after all shes from Texas like myself, and business is good here in Houston.

The video of her baby shower looks beautiful, it reminded me of my own, we’re both about to deliver

No snark here. I drank guiness in the delivery room after my daughter was born. My Irish husband said it would help the milk come in faster. Not sure if it helped, but it tasted good!

Crazy, right? I’m not a beer drink myself, but I craved it during my first pregnancy. Told hubby to plan on bringing me a bottle of anything he could get his hands on as soon as the kid was out!

As dumb as Jessica is I doubt she’s stupid enough to do heavy drinking if she’s going to breastfeed. I’m sure that she will be told about the dangers of drinking/drugs while breastfeeding. I’m assuming all nursing mothers get the same speech.

Do not put ice in a 30 year old scotch!

This woman is a millionaire many time over- she can well afford to have a closet full of 30 year old Scotch!

Oo, great choice Jess! I’ll drink a toast to that. (:
Her skin looks incredible, but I bet she’s looking forward to giving birth and getting rid of that baby bump. Could you imagine how heavy and ungainly that thing must make you feel?

This is my girl! I’m due in a few weeks and made my husband pick up my favorite bourbon. I felt like we were splurging at $30 though…

Jessica Simpson’s tmi pregnancy has done wonders for this girls image! You just can’t hate her. I guess it more has to do with refreshing honesty than the typical Hollywood crap.

We’ll hate her once she and Margarita Macallan Simpson-Whateverthehubbysnameis get their own reality show.
Worse – we may decide she is irrelevant and the second coming of Tori (but much cuter).

I tried Macallan once – no clue which one – it was $200ish in 2008 – all I can say is EWWW! It tastes like diesel fuel. I’ll stick to my wine and umbrella drinks. That Macallan is some serious hootch!

So, I’m guessing she’s not planning on breast feeding…or she’ll use the ole “pump & dump” used by some acquaintances of mine.

That was exactly my thought…I know several friends who pumped and dumped.
It does, however, seem like she’s been pregnant for a year. She has to be very uncomfortable.
I think she’ll be a good mom. I could be wrong but I wouldn’t be shocked if she shielded her child and tried to keep that part private. It’s my hope at the very least.

It is possible to drink moderately while nursing. Emphasis on “moderately”.

You can drink and breast feed, just not excessively. I had my first glass of wine a week after my daughter was born and it tasted like heaven.

Scotch? Yuck! Gimme top shelf bourbon any day!

I dunno, my midwife suggested we bring a bottle of champagne to the hospital. Milk doesn’t come in for a couple of days, I think it’s customary to have a drink to celebrate the birth (in Germany anyway)
