"I don't know much, but I know I love you ..."
"Can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are ..."
"Am I only dreaming, or is this burning an eternal flame?"
Yes, Mr. Snoogle, you do make me sing a sweet lullaby each night (*quit groaning, Tim! You will hear the praises of the Great Snoogle!*). Wasn't it you, after all, who came to my rescue when all I had were sleepless nights?
When the pregnancy books and friends told me that I had to sleep on my left side at night to avoid cutting off circulation, who was it that understood that I had never slept on my side my whole life, and that I was a tummy sleeper? You, Mr. Snoogle! See you tonight, buddy!
Yes, the unfortunate truth is that sleeping on your tummy or back (after the first trimester or so) can make you swell and cut of circulation of the blood. If you've always been a side sleeper, well, cookies for you! But for the rest of us pillow huggers, the habit is hard to break. So, after trying for weeks to sleep on my side (and waking up at all hours panicky when I found myself on my tummy--again), Tim bought me a Snoogle, the simplest and most cuddly pregnancy pillow ever. You can curl it like a cinnamon bun when you want to sit back and watch TV, you can lay it across your waist when you read, and of course, you can curl it under your neck, around your back, and through your legs to put you in the perfect pregnancy sleep position. Hail to the Snoogle!
That's right, I'm doing a product shout-out because, quite frankly, this isn't Wheel of Fortune where I'm obliged to be vague ("My name is Cindy, and I'm a manager for a well-known coffee shop available at every corner in the world"), this is pregnancy, people! When you know about a good product, tell it on the mountain!
