2 thumbs & a dummy

At my last check up at 31 weeks, the nurse/midwife there told me to drink at 2 to 3 liters of water per day and have smaller meals but more often through the day. I don’t know if she saw the shock on my face or not but I certainly was shock at the amount of water I was required to drink because of the current state that I am in. I thought we had to drink 1 liter a day which I could do but then again, it wouldn’t surprise me if I didn’t! I know it sounds bad but when it’s cold and I’m not really perspiring, drinking water becomes sort of a chore. >.<

Back in Malaysia, I'd be boiling water the whole day coz I'd be drinking it like a camel and the girls were the same too. We'd be drinking water the WHOLE day and there was no problem at all. But here and now, it'll be a miracle if they can finish ONE of their drinking bottles a day. It's terrible I know especially for Arianna coz the lack of water does effect her bowel movements and I really hate to see her kick up a fuss when asked to go to the toilet coz I know why she won't go. She used to get slightly constipated and she's whinge about it and it hurts me to see her like that hence I try my best to make her drink more water. Every now and then, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'll be shouting at the girls to drink their water. And thankfully, they do listen to me. Phew!

But me....heh. It's been tough trying to keep it up and I swear I've not really drunk 2 liters of water a day. Technically I have to drink 1 glass of water an hour and somehow I find it so difficult to follow and it's not that I don't like water or the taste of it. I really don't know why its so difficult for me to drink it at all. :/ Some of my friends on FB have suggested many things on how to make drinking water easier but it's not necessary at all since I do drink water but don't know WHY I cannot seem to drink more. >.< At the moment, I’m measuring how much I’ve been drinking but checking my kettle. I only like warm water in the cooler months so I always have a kettle of warm/hot boiled water always ready. And I reckon that I’ve reached ONLY 2 liters and that too maybe about twice only…..I can forget about 3 liters, to me…that’s just insane!
