At this point, I’ve bought
FOUR
different pregnancy pillows.
And you know what,
I still can’t sleep.
I suppose it’s not surprising,
not a big mental leap
by any means,
since I’ve never been good at this.
But it sure would be nice
to curl up for
at least one night,
totally at peace.
And I have to wonder,
for those who can,
for those lucky ones who
drift off
quick and easy:
What is the secret?
Like, I have to be missing something,
right?
RIGHT?!
(I’m tired.)

Back in the dark ages they did not have pregnancy pillows. You just got as many regular pillows as needed and arranged them where they helped. I still like to sleep with my little nest of pillows. I hope you figure out what works for you!

A pillow nest doesn’t sound bad. I’ll try it! I know we’ve got some extra pillows around here somewhere.

Sleep comes eventually. When they move out. 😁

LOL! I don’t know whether I want time to speed up or slow down, but I know that I’ll be so happy and grateful once she’s here. 🙂 For many reasons.

Thank you! And nope, not yet. I’m kind of looking forward to that, though. It’s hard right now, when my symptoms have gotten a bit better, not having much indication that she’s in there. Pregnancy is so strange and interesting!

Pregnancy is really hard! And I’m glad that came through in the poem. Support and patience absolutely help. 🙂 Knowing your partner gets it and will be there for you just makes all the difference in the world. At least it does for me.
