Help Me Make an Unimportant Decision

[Deleted]

Feel free to add your own:)

I have a giant body pillow from pregnancy. What should I do with it? It was about $60, so kind of expensive, but it's enormous. I may or may not ever be pregnant again.

Tell me what to do with it.

[pugz]

is it a snoogle?

[isabel]

Offer it up on the boards to people in your area? I got mine from a girl on Married Life. I know some people are squicky about germs, but we both washed it and I wasn't bothered.

It's this thing which was actually really comfy. If you or anyone else can use it, I'm happy to pass it on. I definitely don't want to throw it out

For now, I use it to prop the baby up on the bed while I get dressed, or we both lie on it on the floor and talk to each other. But smaller pillows work just as well so as soon as I get the motivation I am going to try and sell/give it away. I didn't like mine enough to store in case we have another.

I shoved mine in a closet between kids and used it again.

I still use my body pillow from pregnancy. It's not a pregnancy specific one though.

I use it partly for support for my lower back while I sleep, and partly as a barrier so my H can't touch me.

True story.

Should I chop off my hair to a bob in between my chin and shoulders? like this? minus the ombre.

I do the same with an extra pillow.   The night I get a BFP again, the giant one is coming back up from the basement.

I want to buy my 3 year old DD a new full size mattress. I've freaked myself out reading about chemicals and off gassing online.

Do you just buy normal mattresses or spend thousands for "chemical free" ones?

[pugz]

I would hoard it in case you guys decide to have another. Otherwise I would consign it. I've seen them sold at the local sales.

I'm growing my hair back out just so I can do that. I love that wavy bobs are now in.

Ditto.

Huh. DS' new full size mattress was just delivered today. It's all unpacked and I don't notice any smell at all. I have noticed it with other mattresses in the past, though, and what I did was just leave them out for a while in a room I could keep aired out; the smell disappeared after a little while.

My elderly dog claimed the one I was given by my sister's coworker. The first dog bed he's ever liked!

Obviously I am done for the day. I read your post as "I'm growing my back hair out" and I'm not the slightest bit dyslexic.

I would keep using it..lol

There are two things I'm looking forward to in TTC/ being pregnant again: being able to use my body pillow without the side-eye from H and maternity pants with an elastic waistband.

[DarcyLongfellow]

Keep the pillow!

I wish I could use mine right now, but DH hated it with the fire of a thousand suns. We haven't yet decided if we'll have a third kid, so I've saved mine (it's in DD2's closet). I'm with bunch -- the second I got a BFP, that thing would be back on the bed.

Lol - DH said it was like four people were in our bed: him, me, my pregnant belly, and the pillow!

[whitemerlot]

@kcpokergal -I would save the pillow. I like to use mine at times in the guest bed when I can't sleep. I washed and dried the whole thing. I have a snoogle.

bunch - cut it. That's a cute style!

@choco I've always been too scared to risk moving a sleeping baby.

Now that I'm back to normal, I'm actually more comfortable without it. But it was fun sleeping in a giant pillow while it was comfortable!

I don't intend to stop wearing my maternity yoga pants--they are more flattering and comfortable.

I also have some Jag jeans that aren't maternity but don't have a real waistband.

If you will wear it curly like that, yes! I love that style.

That's the thing, despite promising myself that I'll dry and straighten, I always wear it that way.   Now I want to go and chop it off right. now.  I wonder when I can get an appointment...
