Advice for body pillow during pregnancy...

OK ladies.. This thing called sleep is awful far from my life right now and when I am able to get a few hours in its never really good sleep because I'm not comfortable.

I currently have this guy who is pretty flat and lumpy and just not a comfortable cuddle buddy during this pregnancy.

Ive looked into this guy by Snoogle the original pregnancy pillow.

Ive looked at this one also.This is the Boppy pregnancy body pillow.

So i ask my few dear followers and lurkers to give me their opinion on these pillows if you used one during a pregnancy or just every night while sleeping. Word of mouth is the best review on a product. I will probably be going out this weekend and getting one of the above pillows so i can hopefully grab a few hours of comfortable sleep at night. Hope you all are having a great week and enjoying the nice weather that is across most of the country right now.

1st Ob Appointment

We had our 1st offical Ob appointment today. Of course it involved lots of blood and many other optional test we can accept or decline in the next few weeks based off informaton we were given. We had another ultrasound and say the baby and it really looks like a little baby now instead of a little flicker like our last one.

Baby had a heartbeat of 178 per minute and was measuring right on track.

I asked if this pregnancy I would be followed by the perinatologist and Dr. H said not unless my labs come back abnormal or a ultrasound starts to show slow abnormal growth. He said my chances of preterm delivery and preeclampia again are about 50/50 due to my history but that we are going into this pregnancy better controlled and at a lower weight that he thinks we already are better off then we were at this point in my last pregnancy.

Next ultrasoudn will be at 18-20 weeks for gender and anatomy. We will possible go to Stork Vision Frisco,Texas around the 16 week mark for a gender ultrasound like we did with Hope's pregnancy.
