The Puppy-Pregnancy-Pillow Problem

This is a more light-hearted post about how difficult Ryan's sleeping arrangements have become. Being in my last month of pregnancy (almost 38 weeks!), I have been very fortunate to not have too much trouble sleeping. Sure, I wake up at least 3 times each night to go to the bathroom, but from what I gather, sleeping at all at this point is a true blessing.

Right now I sleep with 4 regular pillows and a long body pillow that Ryan and I--well, at least I--have affectionately dubbed "The Celery," since it is long and green. Not only does this plethora of pillows spill over to Ryan's side, but Duncan is no longer able to snuggle up to me and tends to take extra space from Ryan. The picture below demonstrates the problem.

An early morning photo. As you can see, my side of the bed is full of pillows. Duncan is now forced to spill over completely onto Ryan's side of the bed.

Duncan is not a morning dog. He will often stay in bed long after Ryan and I have gotten up and ready for the day--sometimes almost 11am or later!
