Pillow talk

It's not what you think, so read on.
We're sleeping in a double bed upstairs while I work on the downstairs bedroom. It's snug -- especially when you're used to a queen bed.
Anyway, the other night I turned to Anni and, ever so delicately, said I had a question. (It doesn't take long to learn one should approach questions about pregnancy routines delicately.)
I wondered whether the pillow she's been putting between her legs each night is going to be a nighttime staple for the foreseeable future.
The answer was yes. She brings it to bed because it's comfortable and because it's good for circulation, I was told.
OK, I thought, I can live with being a even more cramped if it helps her. After all, I'm not pregnant so can't complain.
But then Anni added this little bit of news: "I might eventually get a body pillow."
"I can't wait," I said to myself while trying to contain my sheer giddiness at the thought of sleeping three to a double bed.
