Getting Enough Rest

Up until now, I was taking an hour or two during Eva's naptime to lie down on the couch and read or watch TV. I was never able to sleep, but it was a good way to rest and recharge. Not only that, but it was usually my best opportunity during the day to lie on my left side or drape myself face-forward over the exercise ball, in order to encourage the baby to move into the correct (anterior) position. But for the past week, since David has been home, I haven't been laying down that much during the day. It's ironic, because with him to help watch Eva, you'd think I'd be getting more rest. Instead, I find myself taking advantage of the opportunity to run errands, finish a project or do something on the computer. Not only am I noticing the dent in my energy level, but the baby has drifted baby into the posterior position again, largely because I frequently plop down for a break on the couch or another chair that tempts me to recline backwards.
