Remember the days when sleep was comfortable?

Last month, I talked DH into a new mattress. We were going to need a new one soon enough, but I used my sad pregnant self as the perfect reason. It's some fancy thing with memory foam and it's worth oh, $5,000. (Fortunately, Macy's had a mattress sale when we got it.) You sink a little into the cushiness when you get into bed .... fabulous, right?

 Yeah, not so much. Sleep is actually starting to be painful. I go between my back and my side, which my doctor said was fine, but rolling onto my side is such a task that I have to basically sit up and then heft myself onto my side, and I have some of that nice round ligament pain going on downtown, so that hurts, and my back hurts.

 Sniff. At least I can still enjoy taking a shower.

 Is anyone else finding sleep to no longer be so fun?

    Oh believe me- it just gets worse from here on out! I just use a bunch of pillows everywhere and I switch side to side when I sleep!

    No. No, I don't remember when sleep was comfortable. I think it's because it was so long ago....

    That was me last night! I can't fall asleep and I can't stay asleep. I am not comfortable in any position. I am definitely with you on having to sit up to get onto my side. I am trying to keep in mind what Freeburger said that it gets worse, but it's hard to have a positive attitude today.

    I have to make a 3 point roll in the middle of the night just to switch positions.  I get maybe 4 hours of sleep because I'm so uncomfortable. Ugh.

    I so miss good sleep.

    I wake up every 2-3 hours like clockwork.  I'm either too hot, too cold, uncomfortable or I have to pee.  I guess I will just have to accept this as my new reality.
