Yay I finally think I can get some decent sleep now! I have not been sleeping well at all, and usually have to sleep on the couch to get any rest. Well, my mom said she would buy me a body pillow for my birthday, which I've heard helps pregnant women sleep better. Thom and I went down to Babies R Us yesterday and although they didn't have the body pillow I originally wanted, I was able to get another one, called a "Snoogle" lol. It's basically a big pillow shaped like a "C" where the long part goes behind your back and the top part goes under your head and the bottom part goes either under both legs or between them. It seems a little awkward at first but it's supposed to help you sleep on your side, and in perfect alignment. You can also turn it around and "snuggle" with the long side for more comfort. See below (this is not me in the photo by the way lol):
Well, I used it last night and I really love it. The only downside is that it's a huge pain to turn from one side to the other, but at least it's comfortable once you get there. Thanks Mom!!!
In other news, I am officially 26 weeks, or 6.5 months along today. So that means I have less than 14 weeks to go. I have my 26 week check up at the doctor's office on Tuesday, and I'm not sure if I have to do the blood work or not (hopefully not!) but if not, then very soon. :( Also I am going to ask about getting induced so I can get a firmer due date. Technically you are full-term at 37 weeks but we will see what he says. Thommy and I have another Ultrasound appointment tomorrow morning as well. I can't wait to see how much Hadley has grown and changed in the past 5 weeks!!
