The Hidden Cost of Pregnancy

It isn't the wardrobe or the prenatal vitamins. It isn't the birthing classes or the books. I always knew I'd read every book I could get my hands on as soon as I became pregnant. Nope. It isn't the antacids or the cocoa butter for my belly. So what IS the hidden cost of pregnancy?

The TOILET PAPER!

I go through a roll of toilet paper each and every day. I pee more than you could ever imagine (or would want to). I kid you not when I say that sometimes I go to the bathroom and walk away only to turn around and go again. I have to cut off all liquids by 9:30 each night or I'll never get to sleep. By the way, I still wake up for about five bathroom trips throughout the night.

Thank goodness for Marcal. Made of recycled material, Marcal toilet paper is soft and inexpensive. Having a low impact on the environment, it doesn't make me feel too bad to use an entire roll each day.

Okay. Time to go again.

love Marcal! I pee quite a bit too-but mostly at night. Toilet paper is a hidden cost of toddlerhood too. They just love that stuff.

This is sooo funny! I had the very same problem in my home- LOL! We use TJ's brand and the stuff they sell at Lowe's every once in awhile. Considering cloth...
