Pillows Are A Girl's... Best Friend
Well, I'm at about the stage in pregnancy where there just can't be enough pillows. When I've got four pillows under my head and between my knees and under my back and propping things up every which way, and Turner is over there with one pillow, I admit I've been known to lean in and ask, "Are you using that pillow?"
At bedtime on our first night in Van, we called room service and asked them to bring a few more pillows (them: "How many?" Turner: [turning to me, whispering] "How many?" Ash: "As many as possible!") and bless their pointed heads, the folks at Hotel Vancouver forked 'em over.
But seriously, you have to dig the cleaning staff at Vancouver's venerable Castle In The City, who obviously have a sense of humour.

Cheers, cheers, cheers! to the Canadian Pacific Hotels and their fine cleaning people. Hurrah.
