Water, Water Everywhere!

I thought all the food I was supposed to eat was bad.  That's nothing compared to the water I am supposed to drink.  1-2 gallons?  I am lucky if I make a gallon.  I wish I could drink more, because I AM thirsty all the time. 

Add all this water to a pregnant woman's bladder.  Not fun.  I am currently looking out for a HUGE sale on toilet paper!  Sometimes it seems like I wash my hands only to immediately got back to pee some more.  Not fun!  It's tough at night especially.  Because I'm always waking up thirsty, I try to drink a bunch before bed, but then that only keeps me from falling asleep some nights because I am constantly having to go!  Ugh. 

So, since becoming pregnant, I have only had a few sips of soda, and that was when I was craving a taste of coke.  I took a sip of my husbands can.  I've been told, "Ahhh, a coke won't hurt you!"  But it would be so counterproductive for my thirst, I don't want to drink one.  I drink a glass of juice w/ breakfast, water all day long, and milk or soy milk w/ dinner, followed by more water.  This will probably be very good for me past the pregnancy as well, because I'll need to continue hydrating myself to breastfeed two babies!
