Pillowtalk

Do you know how hard it is to sleep comfortably through the night with the weight of your belly pulling down? I'm supposed to sleep on my left side, to avoid compressing the aorta (mid-line) and vena cava (right side) - not a problem, I'm mostly a side-sleeper anyway. But it hasn't been very comfortable lately and I am tired of waking up multiple times a night trying to get comfortable again. This is in addition to the extra trips to the bathroom, by the way.... So, turns out they make "special" pillows for pregnancy. There is the full body pillow, but that's a bit too much. Almost like having another body in bed with you. And between me, Guy and Jack there just isn't any more room! My lifesaver has been the wedge... a little foam wedge that slides under the belly to provide some extra support. The cost of this little pillow was probably twice what I paid for my regular, full size one... and it is worth every penny!

Only five weeks to go ~ I need all the rest I can get!
