No zzzz's

Ok, so I do have one small complaint.  I have traditionally been a stomach or back sleeper.  And, in fact, we recently purchased a nice firm mattress made for stomach and back sleepers.  Unfortunately, the pregnancy rules state, "thou shall only sleep on thou's side" (obvious baby mashing if I'm on my stomach and decreased blood flow to baby and my organs if I'm on my back).  I tried side sleeping on my own, but would find myself waking up on my back.  To ensure that I delivered all the blood my son needed I bought this

Actually my wonderful husband bought it for me, probably to see if I would stop complaining.  The objective is to support my back (as my belly grows) and to keep me on my side.  I will say it works 60% of the time to keep my on my side (sometimes I still wake up on my back, but yet somehow still tangled in this contraption).  So the pillow definitely improves the situation, however nothing can help the very sore hips and shoulder pain I'm feeling.   Remember that firm mattress we purchased.....  not ideal for the side sleeper.  A positive spin on all of this is my son is just prepping me for waking up every two hours in a couple of months to feed him.  How considerate.
