Last night, I laid on the couch and watched part of the movie Ray, the biopic about Ray Charles starring Jamie Foxx. It was pretty good, and I wouldn't mind watching the whole thing sometime in the future.
But, what I realized when I was laying on the couch last night was that, for the first time since I've been pregnant, I was *completely* comfortable. In fact, my residual sense of self took over, and it was as if I didn't have this huge belly lying on the couch in front of me. The baby, after a very active kicking phase, seemed to have fallen asleep, and my belly was perfectly supported by the couch cushions, so there was no tugging on my skin or anything. I've been trying to create this sensation every night when I go to bed with multiple pillows for months, and last night, it just happened. It was so nice that I didn't move for about 45 minutes, until I finally had to get up to go to the bathroom. Then, I went to bed, and I actually slept well last night. I hope that this happens again, because now that I know it is possible, I will be even more frustrated when I can't get comfortable or get to sleep!
