Countdown, Day 24: The Fortress
So, I didn't write anything yesterday because it was hard to think of anything positive to say. I've found that if I get sleep, I can still get through the days fine, but when I don't, I'm pretty crabby. I didn't sleep two nights ago because of strong (but intermittent) contractions, so I was extraordinarily cranky yesterday. Poor Tim has had to deal with so much!
Today marks two weeks of showing signs of early labor.
But since I slept for 10 hours last night, I'm at least ready to keep going for a few more days! Plus--if I don't go into labor this weekend--a dear friend is going to come down and visit from Chattanooga, so that's something to look forward to.
Here's the pillow fortress created each night, and an enumeration of each pillow's purpose from the head down.
a) Two under my head to keep babies from squashing my diaphragm
b) One more to make a nice slope
c) One to support a belly full of babies
d) A body pillow to hug and keep my hips in place
e) Plus one that's like a short-stop--it can be used in different positions depending on what's bothering me. Recently, it's been an extra one between my knees, but it can also be used to create a higher slope
Seems to work--at least most nights! I guess my best advice to someone pregnant is to beg/borrow/steal miracle foam pillows. I totally wouldn't be sleeping at this point without them!
Next up--our nursery!
