Sleeping is getting to be an adventure

Sleeping is getting to be an adventure in creative pillow use lately. I've read online that there are all sorts of 'pregnancy pillows' they make to provide all-in-one solutions. They look like modified body pillows that curl up between your knees and back to support your spine. The only one I thought looked interesting was out of stock :( So I recommissioned one of the really beaten up regular pillows we have for extra support between my knees and under my hip bones. I think that will work for a while until my belly gets bigger :)

I've been sewing some more creatures - here is one that didn't quite make the cut. She is a prototype, and if you look closely her arms are sort of mismatched. I don't like opening the seams of my toys after they're done, so I'll save her for a while.



We also have some female alien monster dolls arriving. It appears the males were just scouts. I'll be working them up here and there. Last year I would push myself to stay up all night and sew a batch - now there is so much else to do, work and non-work.

My SIL survived the whole time without special pillows - just creative regular pillow and towel use.

I just used a small throw pillow between my legs, and one under my belly when I laid on my side. I hope you find a solution that works for you!

Jennifer: That sounds like what I'm doing with one pillow - sort of folded in half in front of me. Later on I'll probably have to recommission another pillow to make up for the curve in the belly ;)

I hope you found a way to get comfortable! Would memory foam help you?

I like your cuddly because she is wonky! (but then if you look at pao then you'll realise that I'm very fond of wonky!!!)
