Not that I could ever replace the 2 best things EVER to sleep with (Lee & Rocky), but I have added two extra pillows to my bed and the list of my cuddle companions. I read in my book Your Pregnancy Week by Week that from now on I shouldn't be sleeping on my back or even laying on my back when relaxing because it could be harmful to the little bun. This has proven MUCH harder for me than I realized it would because I'm a total, 90% back sleeper. Over the weekend I tried to just "remember" not to sleep on my back while I was actually sleeping, but that didn't go so well. So starting on Sunday night I slept with Lee on one side of me (close enough so I can't roll to my back) and 2 pillows on the other side of me (close enough so I can only roll on them) and then Rocky in the middle of it all somewhere :) I have to say...it's been quite comfortable!
The next thing that I have to conquer is the frequency and intensity that I clench my jaw when sleeping. I finally realized this morning that it's the cause of my horrible headaches. Looks like I'm going to have to invest in a mouth guard after all. Then maybe when I fall asleep on the couch at 8pm (last night again), it won't be so brutal when I wake up at 11pm and go into bed. Ah, the life of a pregnant woman!! :)

Hey Ellen! How are you? Your blog is so cute! Congrats on the baby - when are you due? I'm pregnant too with #2, due in February. I have totally been clenching my jaw when I sleep, as well (this is not something I did - at least to my knowledge - when I wasn't pregnant)! So weird. I just realized I was doing it this past week when I'd wake up to go to the bathroom. I am also having headaches and just told Steve that I need to get a mouth guard. Let me know if you find one you like. Congrats, again! - Jenny Menser Feldman (from AHC :) )
