My New Favorite Thing

I've mentioned before that I've been having some trouble getting comfortable while I've been trying to sleep. My sweet husband has finally solved my problem! I cam home on Friday night from having dinner with some friends, and I had a present on the bed. It's a Snoogle (on a side note, who comes up with these names??). It is FABULOUS. I absolutely love it. I know that it will give me great support for when I actually have a baby belly, and for now it's working great, too. I love having something to snuggle with-I've always liked doing this. Do I have the best husband, or what??!!

Yes, I realize it looks very bizarre, but don't knock it til you've tried it!!
