Until recently, I did not quite understand the allure or power of the snoogle. I knew that many pregnant women found relief sleeping with the snoogle so as soon as I got pregnant I bought one thinking that it was this magical pillow that would make sleep even easier. I was only about 16 weeks when my snoogle arrived and I tried sleeping with it for the first few days after opening it and ended up just kicking it to the ground. I had not yet embraced the power of the snoogle. I didn't understand it... It was so oddly shaped, so large and unwieldy (it's a 5ft body pillow, I'm a 5ft person) I just figured it wasn't for me.
About two to three weeks ago I started having more difficulty sleeping... My baby bump has now turned into a baby basketball and I started suffering from some lower back pain, numbness in my arms and hands when I slept, etc... I thought maybe it was time to revisit the massive snoogle that had taken up residence on my bedroom floor.
It truly changed my world. How did this once uncomfortable, cumbersome, weirdo pillow transform into this amazing, life changing, sleep-inducing pleasure? Frankly, I don't know and I don't care... It's just plain grand. My husband thought it was hilarious to come into bed and see my wrapped up in this massive pillow... He says he never knows where the snoogle ends and I begin... And I say, it doesn't matter... For the next few months... we are one.
Dear Snoogle,
I heart you and do not plan to leave you until after my little papaya (his size at 24 weeks) is born! Love,
Mama Byrd
