As I enter my 16TH week I am no longer able to sleep on my tummy comfortably, which for me is torture. I have always been a tummy sleeper and this so far is my biggest pregnancy challenge. According to my stack of books sleeping on your back is also a no no! So..... yeah that leaves the side and I have not been adjusting well.
Chris has had to wake me up in the night several times and flip me onto my side. We have been joking that I have become a turtle, once flipped on to my back I cannot get off. It's pretty funny to see. He will shake me in the middle of the night and yell "You’re a turtle" then give me a gentle shove.
So to fix the problem my darling hubby surprised me Sunday with a trip to Babies R Us to purchase a body pillow.This thing is amazing and for $60 it should be! It makes sure I stay on my side and has taken care of my turtle syndrome! Not to mention it supports my legs so I don't feel that horrible pinching sensation. Ahhhhhh complete comfort.... for now!
As far as my little one, all is great! We have our next prenatal visit at 17 weeks. I am now wearing my fat jeans and have had to put my skinny jeans way up at the top of my closet. Won't need those for a few months! As for all of you asking for tummy pictures I promise they will soon follow. Once my tummy takes shape of a baby and not a bowl of lumpy mashed potatoes! he he
