So glad to hear she's getting water. Actually, I think her eating and drinking on a tight schedule is highly recommended when training. I'm sure some of the more experienced YT members will offer some help shortly. I don't think Lexi was a typical experience as she was totally driven by the praise and treats. She'll do anything if I dangle those carrots (literally) in front of her. I think there's a sticky in the General Training section on potty training that you may find helpful.
As for bedtime, even though she could hold it all night, I would wake her up and take her to her potty pad. I just thing she's more comfortable if she doesn't hold it all night. Even if she gets really disgusted with Mommy for waking her up.
