Troughs and Flying Buttresses


In our second birthing class one of the ladies was talking about how she is having a hard time getting comfortable at night because she is a stomach sleeper. I am too. We can't do that anymore. We have to sleep on our sides or backs which can take some getting used to. I told her that I use 3 pillows. One for my head, one for my right side and one for my left side. Mike said, "She has built a trough around her." Ha! Which is true and a good description; the softest trough on earth. If I'm on my side I have one pillow helping support my back and the other to the front slightly underneath my belly, sometimes in between my legs. It's like really floofy flying buttresses and my pregnant body is the Notre Dame...maybe we'll stick with the trough metaphor.
