If your pregnant wife is anything like mine, then water is something she seems to crave late at night. However, the struggle of sitting up to take a drink can be quite the task. One night we were laying in bed when she said, "I just wish there was a straw hanging out of the headboard that I could just drink water from without sitting up." That's when the lightbulb went off. Last summer I got to go elk hunting in Colorodo and if any of you have ever been hiking around in the Rocky Mountains, you know that water is extremely important. The hunting backback I bought had a spot for you to install a water bladder that had a long tube that ran down the shoulder strap. Past the use of hydrating while hiking, I thought I'd never have another use for it. However, one twisted coat hanger later (to hang the bladder from), and I had granted my wifes wish! Small wins make all the difference in the world for a pregnant wife and you will come away looking like a HERO! The bladder I had was made by badlands and they sell for about $25. You can google "Badlands water bladder" to see what I'm talking about. Check out the pic.

I can't get the pic to upload....

Great idea! Thanks.

I'll work on why the pic would not attach.

Way to go Papa Tillman! Gotta love those lightbulb moments!


@Daddy Troy - Can you give my camera gear post a little help over in the Gadget Group? I tried posting some Photobucket images and failed.

That's great! Now if you could get her to wear a catheter at night, she'll never have to get up!

Truly awesome. Nice work.
