Sorry, but it has to be said. I'm at a phase in my life where I'm particularly attached to that sweet, sweet nectar. For the first few months of my pregnancy, I couldn't stand the thought of carbonation of any kind. Then I suddenly developed an intense craving and got into a bad habit - going to the gas station for a DDP from the fountain, with a few squirts of cherry for good measure. A few weeks after Aidan was born my addiction became serious. My body realized that it was operating on a substantial sleep deficit, and I felt so much better with that caffeine boost to get me through the day. So for a few months, I drank at least 44 ounces of pop daily. Wow, that's crazy for a girl who grew up only having soda a few times a month, if that!
Now my life is getting back to some degree of normalcy and I'm only awakened 2 or 3 times each night by one of my two little boys. I don't really need the caffeine as much. So I get a fountain drink about twice a week, and I rarely finish it, even though I've downgraded to 32 ounces. But I still love Diet Dr. Pepper. It will always have a special place in my heart.
(If you think I'm strange for blogging about my love for a caffeinated beverage, check out these awesome ladies, who've both done the same. See, I'm not so weird, after all.)

Haha! Smart to compare yourself to me, the biggest Dr. Pepper piggy out there. I didn't know you had cut back so much. You will have to give me some advice and quite honestly, I think I have blogged about Dr. Pepper at least 10 times. Such a loser.
I KNEW there was a reason we were such good friends! I love that you love Dr. Pepper (even if it's the skinny sister of Dr. Pepper!)
