Sleep... Oh, precious sleep!

So, I'm on my own this week from Saturday night until Wednesday while Peter is out helping his dad with a book signing in Colorado. Last night I took full advantage and took over the bed - me, my belly and 4 pillows! I have really not been sleeping very well the past week or so. A fun mix of pain, belly, the need to pee and heat. Luckily the last couple of nights have gotten down into the 50's, we've turned off the air, opened the windows and been a lot more cozy. I have a pregnancy pillow. It's shaped a little like a comma with a big part for between your legs then a little curl that's supposed to fit under your belly. It works alright, but it's a pain (literally) to try to roll over and I usually end up on my back which wakes me up (pregnancy no-no). So last night I took advantage of my empty bed to add a belly behind my back and another between my legs, and let me just say... I slept great! I still had to get up to use the restroom, but the rest of the time I was as comfy as can be. Now, the problem is that I pretty much took up 2/3 of the bed, so once Peter gets home I will have to come up with some other plan. (Or just hope that his skinny little bod will fit on the last third!) Of course I imagine that pretty soon no amount of pillows will make sleep comfortable. Until then I'll do what I can to enjoy my cool, comfy, roomy, soft, cozy relatively pain-free sleep!

  2. I agree! I was trying to figure out how I could do it and take up the least amount of space... The first night I was right In the middle of the bed. Last night I stayed more on my regular side, but still took up more space than is probably acceptable. :(
