An Idea That Sprung Forth at 1:00AM

I was being a total TWAT yesterday. That's right, I said it. I was just in a bad mood, but I don't like complaining like that. Especially to YOU guys. My apologies. I did end up leaving work an hour early and going home for a sweet nap. I slept HARD. I needed it.

As I was tossing and turning last night, trying to get comfortable, I had the most incredible idea for an invention. Let's call it the "Pregnancy Mattress". I think it will be an insert that goes on the top of your mattress. The idea is that it will have holes cut out of it for your breasts and belly, thus allowing one to sleep on their stomach - WITHOUT annoying pressure on all the parts of your body that are sticking out. Being a habitual stomach sleeper, I am having a really hard time not sleeping on my belly and just can't seem to get really comfortable in any other position.

And perhaps this little magical contraption could double as a nursing pillow? Yeah, you could put the mattress on your lap and stick your baby in the tummy hole and wedge him right up to your breast. Uh huh! Yes, I do believe I'm on to something here!

The only drawback is that if this would work, you'd have to sleep a good 1-2 ft higher than your partner. But that's okay, it puts you that much further from the source of snoring. Yes! The Pregnancy Mattress! C'mon!!!

Do I hear any investors out there??

OR... you could sleep in a hammock-y type thing and hang from the roof like a bag of satsumas!

I'm 26 weeks and still wake up on my belly. One friend swears by the snoogle and another by some other form of pregnancy pillow, but I wonder how they fit these things into the bed along with their partners. They must have bigger beds and/or smaller partners than I.
