At this point, trying to remember back to last August is sort of difficult. My wife and I had been trying to get pregnant for about ten months. But one day all of that changed; the test was positive and I was going to be a dad. Now I’ve been a dad for eight weeks and I can’t remember anything different it seems. Let alone how I got up and out of bed this morning. It’s true what they say, you do not get sleep when you have a newborn. I mean you sleep, but it’s not good sleep. You’re up every 2-3 hours. And if your baby is anything like mine, they make tons of sounds and squeals when they’re asleep. And if they are quiet for a period, it scares the shit out of you that something bad happened. The number of times I would lean over to check my daughter to see if she was breathing those first few weeks is in the hundreds for sure.
All of this in and of itself was an awful situation to try to get some sleep in. That compounded by the fact that I was in desperate need of a new pillow led to a pretty cranky new dad. But then I got a new pillow from Pillow Guy. I have been using their down alternative pillow for about 4 weeks now and I’m pretty pleased with it. It provides great support throughout the night and is perfect for my sleep position, which is both side and back positions. I like to have the option to back or side sleep depending on my mood which makes it sort of difficult to find a pillow that’s conducive to all that. But I’ve tried them both on this pillow, and I’m very happy with it. And let me tell you, any way you can improve your sleep is great. Especially when you’ve got a fussy newborn who doesn’t understand the difference between day and night (that’s normal I’m told).
