Snoogle

So I have been having trouble sleeping since I became "with child". By trouble I mean one of two things, either it's "pregnancy insomnia" caused by any or all of the following; hormones and morning sickness, or anxiety about birth, parenting, finances, etc..., or I sleep so deep that I fall asleep in an uncomfortable position and stay in that position all night thus causing me to wake up and not be able to lift my arm in turn causing me to not be able to run or walk. Of course, I find this highly irritating.

Naturally, I am complaining about all of this to my best friend who so wisely recommends to me the Snoogle pillow. Now, let me preface this by saying that I did see this pillow before my friend recommended it to me, and I thought at first that this was possibly another pregnancy gimmick. I am getting ahead of myself.

The first pregnancy "gimmick" I bought was a tummy sash. I thought it would help me wear my jeans a bit longer by acting as a belt.

They called it "our solution to your mother's rubber band," which I thought was quite clever. I meant to ask my mother if she used a rubber band to hold her pants up in her early pregnancy days but haven't yet.

Anyway, this turned out to do as it said it would. It smoothed things out and keep my one size too small seven jeans up and looking good.

However, it felt like a girdle. And it was hot and maybe too small for me. I honestly don't know why any woman who is pregnant would go near this product. I was miserable for a least 2 hours before I decided that the $30 spent was going to have to be $30 lost.

As you can imagine I was a bit hesitant to spend $50 on a pregnancy pillow at this point since I am only 15 weeks at this point, and probably not near as uncomfortable as I will be in about 3 months. But I convinced myself that since I have refrained from buying any pregnancy books up to this point, that the Snoogle could and would be an investment, and my husband agreed that if it helped me sleep well then it was worth it.

So, I went to Babies r Us, bought the Snoogle, brought it home, and unpacked it. I was shocked at how well Snoogle justified it's $50 price tag with this amazing diagram.So last night was our first night with the Snoogle and I have to admit that I did sleep well and did not wake up with a sore shoulder or arm....which was fantastic..so thanks best friend..and Snoogle!!!!!
