Sleepless Nights

        So it appears the sleepless nights have hit in full force.  I have gotten use to being up at least once during the night to use the bathroom, but for the most part have been sleeping like a rock.  Lately, it seems as though I can't get comfortable. I keep telling myself that I am not sleeping as well because Kenny has been working nights this month, but it does seem as though the uncomfortable stage of pregnancy is setting in.   I think insomnia is knocking on the bedroom door. I knew it was coming, I was just hoping that it was still a few more weeks away.
   
         First off let me start by saying I am fully aware that this is normal during pregnancy and most women, if not all eventually begin to lose sleep at night. That being said, I am also someone who likes to find solutions to dilemmas....so of course my mind has been reeling with ideas/thoughts the past few nights on how to solve this current one.
        
          I typically am someone who likes to flail around at night. I like to sleep on my back, side, stomach, etc. Obviously, sleeping on my stomach has been out of the question for a while now, but I was still able to sleep on my back up until last week.  I can't breathe when I am on my back. So now I am left with sleeping on my side for the next few months. :(

     

          I inherited this pretty awesome snoogle pillow from Kenny's cousin at the beginning of pregnancy, and it has been my jam so far.   I love the support under the growing belly and it makes it WAY more comfortable to sleep on my side. The past few nights, I haven't been able to get as comfortable with my favorite pillow.  I just can't seem to get enough back support while sleeping on my side. I think I might be outgrowing it!

Well today, I came across this gem. 

         It's like 2 snoogles put together! Could this be the solution to my dilemma?! Perhaps!

                 It appears as though it is the perfect solution to my back pain.  There is a potential downside...I am not sure there will be room for me, Tripp, this awesome pillow, Kenny, and Bandit. 

                I am pretty sure sleepless nights during pregnancy are God's way of preparing me for sleepless nights for the rest of my life once our little peanut arrives. However God created this wonderful thing called COFFEE which I can drink again once our little peanut arrives, and that my friends will make mornings a little easier. For now, I am left with water and a classroom of 2 years olds to keep up with all day. This pillow might be a lifesaver... and not just for me!
