Ahhh Sleep

I have not been able to sleep very well the last few weeks (well months really), but I just attributed it to being so pregnant and uncomfortable. Well Matt hasn't been sleeping well either and we we got thinking maybe our mattress is the problem. We have a king size bed and buying a new mattress is quite an investment. One that we really can't afford to do right now with all the hospital and doctor bills coming in. So I suggested we look at a mattress topper for the time being to get us by until we can get a new mattress. Well I bought one yesterday, it was $150!!! We decided to buy one of those memory foam toppers, hoping that it would make a big difference. We have slept on a memory foam bed and really liked it so getting a topper would be ideal. When I found one at the store I kind of gasped at the price, the realized it was cheap considering mattresses were in the $1500-$2500 range. It was an investment for the topper, but can I just say that this morning when I got up and had slept most of the night, minus the potty break at 2:00, I felt pretty good. So the investment paid off and I am hoping that the next few weeks I can catch as many zzz's as possible so I can be well rested for the arrival of this new little baby!! Oh I have 28 days until delivery! yay!! I can't wait!

I'm so glad the mattress topper helped, Erika. Sarah has one on her bed and loves it! I've been thinking about getting one for my bed, too. I hope you can catch up on your rest.

Love you,
