H2O someone...anyone?

I crave juice, any kind of juice, well not any kind, normally grape, pineapple, apple or anything of that "natural" sort. I crave them so much that I forget to drink water! What the hec is wrong with me? Is it just me or is it seriously a chore to remember to drink PLENTY of water.

So this weekend was SUPPOSE to be full of fun, BUT instead my kidneys decided they needed to remind me about the lack of attention I've been paying to the oh so famously quoted 10 cups of water I should be drinking. My kidneys decided to give me some serious pain after taking an epsom salt bath (which is known to reduce swelling and help with back pain) late friday. What I didn't realize is that by taking that bath my body got rid of the water it was retaining due to my lack of drinking water, so it pretty much dried up my bodies emergency supply. It felt like someone stuck a butcher knife into the lumbar region of my spine and was twisting it back and forth. While I cried I wondered if the pain was going to be that bad during labor and I'm starting to wonder how the hell I'll be able to surpass that and "push" the baby out.

Which brings me of course to my next worry, as if the expectant mother didn't have enough going on in that little head of ours!

So I learned my lesson, I drink all my water during working hours because I KNOW I will forget once I get home. My advice is if you have a hard time remembering, set an alarm on your phone or on your desktop because you don't want your kidneys reminding you...it is PAINFUL!


I still managed to make it a pretty fun weekend by going to a friends grad party, having a nice buffet breakfast, watching a movie and going to BABIES R US with my honey who still doesn't know the sex of the baby...hehehehehe. So I made him chose everything for a boy & a girl, and I will go register later. Muahahahah...I love it! I'm so excited about my baby shower, which will be in exactly 2 months, can't wait to see what's in store and most of all what will be left to buy...ugh!

Anywho, I'm off, thanks for reading...I must go drink more water now! ;)
