Pregnant Lady Heaven
Nothing says pregnant lady heaven like a new mattress! We’ve had our eyes on a Tempurpedic for years and when I was pregnant with our son we decided to give in and purchase one (two years ago). Of course, we never got around to it and now here I am 12 pounds heavier and with those off-balance pregnancy wobbles again (for those who don’t know what this is - I actually lost my balance stepping off the scale at the doctor’s office last week - it was a whole 2 inches off the ground which was apparently too much for me to handle) and until last night we were still sleeping on that same old mattress, that same old 12 year old mattress to be exact.
We didn’t go with the fancy brand name because of the cost - I did some Internet searching and found a nice generic copy for a fraction of the cost and it was shipped and arrived in four days! Last night I slept as comfortably as possible (only got up once to go to the bathroom!) and I loved it.
My back was a little sore this morning which I take to mean that the old mattress had the firmness of wet paper mache so I have a few days of adjustment ahead. I am willing to make this sacrifice for the sake of my long term comfyness (yes, I made that word up) because I am committed, above all, to my own comfort in all aspects of my life.
Wish me luck as I strike out on this perilous but ultimately rewarding quest for nighttime comfort.
lol…good luck!
