Pablo the Pillow

There is an important member that has helped to make my sleep at night as comfortable as can be during this pregnancy and is worth a special mention -- Pablo.  Even though Pablo is big and tall, we still decided to bring him to the Taipei trip with us.  Pablo also has a new little friend called Tracey.  Pablo and Tracey share the bed with me and mic every night since we had them.

To cut the suspense, Pablo, aka, the pillow, is the nickname I gave to my pregnancy body pillow (since I am missing my tango so much, I decided to give the pillow a Spanish name so I am embracing Argentine tango in my dreams!).  Recently I have also added to the sea of cushions a triangle shaped pillow (named Tracey) to be placed right under my big belly for added support.   

It is getting more difficult to get comfortable at night.  Sleeping on my back cuts off some type of blood supply that I ended up with a numb leg, so I had to try to stay on my side as much as possible.  Some help is required since sleeping on my side is also getting harder with the belly pulling my body into an odd shape that hurts my back, and I am sure it will only get worse as I get bigger over the next few months.  Pablo and Tracey helps, but every single time i switch sides it involves moving all the pillows around me which inevitably means I am somewhat awake after rearranging all the pillows.

I guess this is good practice before little K comes since I probably won't be able to sleep through the night when that day comes. And for the time being, at least I am glad Pablo and Tracey makes the night a little more bearable.
