My "Just Say No to Vurps!" campaign seems to be working. I have slept pretty well, propped up slightly when on my left side, and propped up a lot when on my back. No vurping episodes at all. Hooray!
The pillow situation is crazy - I am using 3 prop-up pillows, one head-rest pillow (my tempurpedic one, which I LOVE), and my gigantic U-shaped body pillow to support my belly and back. I am in a pillow fort, a pillow cocoon. It is a good thing we have a king sized bed, otherwise there would be no room for Mr. P. And snuggles have pretty much gone out the window. But I am sleeping better. Knock on wood that it lasts!
Halloween festivities this weekend - I live in a neighborhood that attracts kids from all over. While we are in a big city, I live in a little enclave, townhouses that have lots of kids and green space for them, with limited car traffic. Perfect for trick-or-treaters. We have a Halloween block party tomorrow afternoon, and I think my niece and 2 friends and their kids are coming. And Sunday, trick or treating madness. Last year I ran out of candy - I had 2 huge bags to start - like 500 pieces of candy - gone. So it will be busy! Kids, kids, everywhere!
It is still a touch hard being around all these families, but as you can imagine, I am in a different place this year. I am almost part of the club. Not quite a card-carrying member yet, but my application is in, and being processed. It does make it easier.
But I do clearly remember dreading Halloween over the last few years (even though I love Halloween otherwise) due to IF. So hugs to all my ladies out there, still fighting the fight.

Your sleeping arrangement sounds wonderful. I love pillows. I have 3 that I sleep on, and they have to be a certain way and in a certain order or I don't sleep well at all. Glad the vurping has subsided and I hope it stays away! Just think, this time next year you will have your critter to take trick or treating! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh... so glad to hear that the "vurping" is under control. The pillow situation sounds quite exciting. Can't wait to get there. Hmmm... we have a queen bed... wonder where DH is going to sleep?!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all the halloween celebrations and hope you have a great weekend.
Glad you'll be part of the club this year--or at least well on your way! Paint your belly like a jackolantern :)
ReplyDeleteAre you dressing up?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the vurping under control. I've just started having problems too with reflux and hearburn keeping me up in the middle of the night, but I just started a new type of prenatal vitamin (Duet with DHA) and think that's where my problem is. But I think propping myself with more pillows might help too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
Just think, next Halloween, you'll be dressing your little critter up!!! How exciting!
