I mix a little juice into mine sometime. It gives it a little sweetness to the water that can get a little boring. I never feel like I 'm getting the right amount, though.
Lemon and a straw is the trick for me. I cut up lemons and have them in ziplock bags so I always have some handy...And my pregnant friend always has lime wedges in her water...I squeeze a little lemon into hot water every morning with a honey as well... It helps get things going if you know what I mean

My friend joined a fitness (one of those bootcamp like places) and they told her that a normal person should take their weight, divide it by 2, and thats how many oz of water they should be drinking.
I am struggling with this too right now, I am having a hard time keeping much of anything down, and water seems so heavy on my stomach. My friend just told me about her camelback, so i am thinking about trying that. My mom got me some candied ginger, so I am going to try to stick a little piece of that in my water to see if that helps settle my stomach!
Good luck!

i made home made lemonade when pg (i still do it actually).... it helped me drink a lot more water and also lemon, which helped to keep kidney stones away (i had a ton my first pregnancy but none with the twins thanks to lemonade!)
i just squeezed 2-3 lemons into a big pitcher, and added in a little bit of sugar - mix = easy and yummy.
I have one of the old WW insulated cups with the straw (like GiGi suggested) that's 32 oz. I fill that up with water and I can easily down it. The straw makes a big difference.
A big cup is helpful for sure! I also would add a splash of lemonade (Whole Foods 365 lemonade is so good!) to change the taste a bit. I also always carried a bottle of water in my purse wherever I went to make sure I was drinking, drinking, drinking!
