Among the many things Kim handed down to us was this pregnancy pillow. It can also double up as a breastfeeding pillow. But despite that knowledge, we didn’t use it for either of these cases. Frankly, we didn’t need to so it’s just been sitting there. If anything I used it more than you did. I found the elevation very comfortable stretching long on the sofa.

However, it occurred to me that you might also enjoy the incline i.e. tummy time at an angle. So far, you’ve been flat on the ground, in a child’s pose. I now know why it’s called that.
Given how vocal you are about things you don’t like, I figured, worse case, you’d scream and that’ll be the end of that. But I was hellbent on trying this out.

As a general approach to life, I’ll always try to put actions behind my ideas. Sometimes they work, but most times they fail. But I never stop trying. You should know that failure is my best friend. We understand our relationship well enough. So when we meet up, we don’t get pissy with each other. I’ll introduce you soon, the earlier the better.

It took a few tries to figure out the perfect posture so I adjusted as you demonstrated discomfort, pulling you up and down the pillow. We got there eventually though, through persistence. You slept on that thing for hours, smiling through the dummy. After a while, we stopped checking if you were breathing. Yes, you were that still. We had to wake you up to eat, which you don’t like. Interrupted sleep is like a capital sin vice.

By the way, the earplugs are a revelation. I also got your mother the same silicone ones. We can hear you and not hear you if you take my meaning. Low end vs high end.
