Part of being now 28 weeks pregnant for me is not sleeping very much. And definitely not for long periods at a time. That is ok, it is part of it; however, I am not one that can function normally on minimal sleep. That being said, after about 3 weeks of bed hopping from ours to the guest bed and finally ending up on the couch, we ordered a pregnancy pillow. I did plenty of reading up on them and found one that I think will work best for me. It is the Leachco All Nighter- look how cozy:
It will allow me to sleep on my back without putting pressure on it and also to stay put on my side! YAY! Anyway, the reason I am rambling about this is that the pillow arrived JUST NOW! UPS just delivered it and I am thrilled! :)
I will let you know how wonderful it is, keep your fingers crossed that I do not see 2am or anything near that until Lucas arrives!

Ah, a full night of sleep? What is that? ;)
Let me know how you like your pilow! I have been doing some research myself and have considered that one, so I'm interested to know what you think. Hope it helps you!
Hey Kelli!
I do love the pillow- perfect amount of fullness and it is big enough so you can have support everywhere (back, under stomach, head, between legs, etc.)
The only thing is, my back and hips still were pretty achy last night- I've only used the pillow one night, so I will let you know how it goes, but I definitely recommend it. (The back/hips might just be part of the third trimester) :)
I tried something similar to that and kept myself up more trying to get it wrapped around me. I ended up with one that looked kind of like a kidney bean...Andrew made fun of me because I took it everywhere, even when we stayed at hotels. I say anything that makes YOU sleep better is a good thing. :)
