Comfort is important to me. The further I get along into this pregnancy the faster comfort slips away from me. Especially at night. I’m already a troubled sleeper and really have no lack of things that will keep me from a good nights sleep, but being almost 7 months pregnant has added an additional layer of trouble.

The most troubling thing is something I believe is similar to sleep apnea. I wake up choking and trying to catch my breath.

The first phase of trying to bring more comfort to my sleeping habits was the purchase of the full body pillow. This crazy horse shoe 6 foot tall pillow that has taken over the majority of our Queen sized bed.

On the first night sleeping with the pillow i got freaked out because it felt coffin like. It is now a very tangible divide between me and Andy. I don’t like the distance it has created between us. Being near Andy is my foolproof method of falling asleep.

The full body pillow worked for a while until the sleep apnea or midnight choking started to set in.

Facebook had oddly targeted me for a medical pillow apparatus. It caught me on the right time and getting past my guilt I decided to buy it.

We got the pillow last night and now I feel there are too many things on the bed. Too many items to help provide more comfort, except number of pillows on the bed is starting a law of diminishing returns. Last night I couldn’t sleep because I was getting too frustrated with the amount of pillows.

Maybe I need a bigger bed. Fat chance of that in the near future though!
