I don't sleep with a teddy but I am love my body pillow. I stick it between my knees and hug it a bit and I am good to go. DH goes to bed earlier than me and he steals it every. single. night. But he won't get his own, says he doesn't need one and it'll crowd up our queen sized bed (which may be true...). I have to wrench it away from him when I get into bed and sometimes it's all hot from him hugging on it.
I definitely miss it when I go to hotels and have to improvise.
Real Confession: I've been using one since I was a teen and totally used to grind against them when I was horny and lonely. I still wake up pressing it really hard against myself after I've had a sex dream...
Jumping on the peeing-in-the-shower train here, though I've never done it while DH is in there with me--that would be a little too much for me!
My FFFC: I've stopped applying for full-time music teaching jobs because I'm really okay with working part-time in a field that's completely unrelated to my college major. I used to be terrified of what "people back home" would think of me, but now I could care less. I'm very happy with what I'm doing right now.
My husband works third shift and has narcolepsy. Sometimes I will forget to wake him up when I'm supposed to and I will tell him I tried to get him up but he must've fallen back to sleep. And sometimes I forget to tell him news about our friends and I will just tell him I told him when I got him up. I don't do it often, and I usually feel bad about it, but it's so easy!

My husband has a strange sleep schedule too. He falls asleep hard and fast, but can actually have semi coherent conversations all while still being mostly asleep. Sometimes I'm talking to him and don't know if he's 'awake awake' or just 'asleep awake' so some messages get lost.
And sometimes I'm forgetful too so I really don't remember if I told him or not and we're both lost haha.

we have had entire conversations that he never remembers! I have to give him like a half hour once he is actually out of bed before I talk about anything serious/important.
My FFFC: I'd love to be a more active member of the group but I'm always mobile. I'm rarely on my computer and am too damned lazy to walk across the room to use it when I can lurk without getting up.
I literally can't pee anywhere but a toilet. The family and I used to go tubing for hours down the river when I was younger. I would have to hold it for the entire time because my body just wouldn't go.
I love having my hair brushed.
I had know idea who Loki was before TTGP.
I desperately want a bikini was, but I'm a complete and total chicken shit!

we have had entire conversations that he never remembers! It can be scary sometimes, he is alarmingly good at sleep driving.
Mine is the same way.
That line scares the bejeesus out of me. How is it possible that's happened often enough for you to know that? It shouldn't happen once.
Sleep driving! Holy cow! My husband can do many things sleeping (like answer calls from his job, talk to me coherently etc.) but the sleep driving I don't believe has come up. Background please!

Sleep driving isn't that uncommon among people with narcolepsy. Also, having narcolepsy does not require you to stop driving. Which is kind of terrifying when you see that sleep driving isn't uncommon.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

I didnt notice the sleep driving. Mine doesn't do that.
It's a 'skill' he picked up on 13 hour convoys during deployment. And with narcolepsy you don't always fall asleep at the most convenient times. He lets me know when he is getting sleepy, but it can just jump out of nowhere. He can't help it, and I'm not going to make him feel like an ass when it happens. He is on new meds, so hopefully we don't have to have the 'maybe you shouldn't be driving' conversation.

I have had that convo with DH before. Not. Fun. He is always so tired because of his job. He doesn't drive at night anymore because he was trying to be all manly and drive all the time and but would be fighting sleep the whole time. After he almost fell asleep at the wheel AGAIN and we fought about it AGAIN (we rarely fight.... As in almost never) he finally agreed that he would trust my judgment and not drive when too tired.
It took one goddamn drive where he fell asleep comfortably as a passenger for him to be totally ok with it.
It must be immensely hard with narcolepsy where there isn't always a 'sign' or warning. I hope the new med helps!
@mmb248 yeah, Salsera is like 14 weeks or something! When I saw her at the GTG I didn't even know she was pregnant. I squeed for her IRL.
I think that's really shitty of her for not announcing - You say good bye to a community that you were a part of.
She said she didn't think anyone would recognize her or that she wasn't active enough and didn't want to offend anybody. I think she was just being over cautious. If she were just like "fuck it, I'm off to first tri" that'd be different. But she was trying to be considerate. I get it. I *think* she announced in the 2WW, but I can't remember.
Well...damned if you do, damned if you don't huh? Exactly what @Janda426 said. I posted my BPF in the 2ww but didn't make my own post because I wasn't sure how it would go over. How do you really know if people recognize you? Anyway I guess I made the wrong call, so I'm sorry about that. And it would be nice to be tagged next time so I can explain myself while the conversation is happening.
I'm sorry @Salsera29 !! I was mobile and couldn't remember the numbers in your SN. take it as a good sign that you were well liked and everyone missed you, sorry I even brought it up!! TBH I thought everyone knew already. Fail on my part.

Another confession- I felt bad about being snarky yesterday on that "positive test" post but then didn't, really. I'm sick of the passive aggressive "I don't really recognize a lot of BFP posts lately" comments but then when someone who's pretty much a stranger to the board posts it and gets called out she's white knighted. I don't think recognizing a siggy from the few times someone's posted in the last few weeks = active enough to create the AWish BFP post.
As far as I'm concerned, if you don't know what a typical BFP post looks like or admit that you aren't even active, the BFP post is extremely unnecessary, and snarkiness is okay. Especially with the shitty "it was SOOO hard to conceive this time zomg" comment. I've only been here 8 months so maybe I'm not allowed to have that opinion but here it is.
Also I totally think Salsera and meggowaffles could've gotten away with making a BFP post.
Salsera and meggowaffles are pregnant? I would totally have given a congratulations with multiple exclamation points to both of them!
Sorry for bumping this thread...I just wanted to poke my head in and say thank you for the congratulations, and I'm sorry I didn't make a separate BFP post! I had taken a bump break for a couple weeks before my BFP, so I didn't want to be like, "I'm back and....I'm OUT!" I was totally conflicted on what to do. So I posted in the grad thread. I thought it was a happy medium.
I just wanted to tell you all that I love the shit out of you guys, I still creepy stalk this board all the time, and I NEVER meant to be rude. I'm so, so sorry if it was taken that way.
Started TTGP July 2013 ~ BFP! 11/21/13 ~ TEAM PINK!!!

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today.
Now I can't think who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way
Oh I have another... Only with in the last few weeks or so have I felt like it would be ok to post my own BFP post when the time comes. I've always feared people will think I'm a drive by....
I've had the same thoughts. I'm still on the fence.
Neither of you would be drive-bys IMO.
I agree. As a newbie, I totes see you guys posting all.the.time.
