What is your BFF..

in January 2016 Moms
I thought it would be fun for everyone to share what has been their go-to comfort for this pregnancy. Whether it be a food, item, activity etc.

So far mine has been Friendly's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and my Bobby pregnancy pillow! I don't think I could do it without either one!! :x

    Napping on the couch while watching Real Housewives of Atlanta. Hulu randomly started the first season weeks ago and now I'm hooked on the drama.

    Decaf lattes!  I never even drank them at all before getting pregnant, but I tried one on a whim a couple of weeks ago and I'm hooked.  The milk and frothiness is just so comforting for some reason.

    My actual real life BFFs have been incredible, I agree about my husband as cheesy as that is - he has been noticeably going out of his way to care for me and help without being asked. My parents have been super ready to help as well.

    Otherwise CHEESE and my heating pad and all the mystery shows that keep me entertained when I'm not working. Shout out to the ID channel, dateline, and forensic files!

    For activities - I'm enjoying the massages I've had so far and the prenatal yoga that has been a great resource for strengthening and stretching all the right places!

    Anything that entertains my toddler for more than 5 minutes so I can put my feet up is my BFF. Fortunately she is into books right now so we can snuggle up on the couch and read the same 3 books over and over.

    Pillows and naps. I don't know if I could survive without either. OH and my husband making me breakfast in the morning, I'm super lucky. I'm not a morning person and I've never been a breakfast person until I got pregnant. Now I'm always super hungry in the mornings so I appreciate the extra help. :)

    Fiance. He is getting much better at noticing my wild hormonal moments before the completely take  over. Mostly all I need when that happens is a cuddle session :D

    Chocolate milk.  Whenever I start feeling sort of crappy/nauseous, chocolate milk makes me feel 100% better.  My husband doesn't even ask anymore.  If I say i'm not feeling well he'll just bring me a glass.  I love him.

    My sleepy lotion. It smells so good and works wonders... plus, it totally convinces my SO to give me a back rub (no matter how half-assed it may be lol). *Picture included (hopefully it isn't ginormous), you can get it at Bath & Body Works.
    And Starbucks. Java Chip Frap with Vanilla. Mmmmmm, true love.

    I forgot about my dog. He has got it figured out that I need a buddy/companion when DH is away or working late. If I'm in the tub, he sits and waits for me on the bath mat. When watching TV or laying in bed with heating pads, he just can't snuggle closer. He's the best.

    @krisdee123 I should've mentioned my dog too!  My husband and I work different schedules and my dog (and cats) have been such great companions when I'm on my own.  Our dog usually sleeps in his bed next to our bed, but when my husband works late he hops up on the bed and snuggles up next to me and it's the best.  :)  

    He's also been in obedience class in preparation for the baby and he's doing such a good job.  Proud of our little guy.  We rescued him about a year and a half ago and he's come such a long way.  Can't wait to watch he and the baby develop a friendship as she gets older.

    My mom... I can talk to her about uncomfortable things I can't talk to anyone else about, and with being pregnant there are alot of uncomfortable things going on with our bodies so she gets the "is that normal" all the time. My DH works out of town and so I'm at my parents house for dinner at least 4 nights a week. Over all she's just been amazing!
    Oh, and my tiny pillow I cuddle, I can't get comfy without it!

    Totally lame but totally true answer? My husband. As the pregnancy progresses he has gotten more and more helpful, and has done everything from running out to procure my food cravings to helping me up from the couch on days when it's just a little too hard to do comfortably on my own. 

    Barf.

    But seriously, me too. :)

    French fries and gravy, sushi, and I sleep with about 4 massive pillows at night.

    Oh, and my husbands sweatpants and t-shirts!

    My tempurpedic! I'm in love with it now more than ever! It's the best when I'm in pain. Sometimes I just lay in it mid day because it supports everything so perfectly and makes me feel so much better.
    Also, DH. He has been so wonderful this whole time with my mood swings, getting me things, and generally doing whatever I ask or need. He is the best!
    I second (third?) the dog thing too. Our babies always seem to know when I need to cuddle. They always lay on the cuddles and kisses if I'm home by myself and decide to have a crying fit. :x

    Definitely my "one coffee a day" because a few times a week I'll get a delicious starbucks coffee after work.

    And Grey's Anatomy because I'm hooked and I'm not really a couch time kind of person but it helps keep me entertained and relax and unwind. I started watching it on Netflix from the beginning a few mths ago.

    My dog, for sure. Also, my glider that we purchased that is hanging out in the family room. Oh, and listening to the Harry Potter audio books when I can't sleep (which is most nights).

    @maureenmce that's my little love bug Lizzie Bennett:) she's very loving when it comes to her baby brother! She constantly wants to rest her head against my belly. She also keeps me company all day since my husband works full time and is getting his masters. Most days it's just the two of us snuggling!

    My toddler :) my older children are lovely too, just more challenging as they are 12 & 9. But my 17 month old is so cute & cheers me up with her little smile and sunny disposition that it reminds me it's all worth while ;) (how about that for cheesy). She's also sweet with my bump and likes to lift my top and pat my belly (even if it is a bit rough sometimes). ❤️

    As I was reading through these, I was thinking the same thing!  He has made a total transformation into nurturing Daddy to be!  I could not be any happier.  I have had a rough week between, heartburn, gas, and some stomach bug that is going around at work that caused me to throw up last night.  He rubbed my back until I fell asleep and is always willing to take me out to eat if I have a craving.  He will surprise me with ice cream when I don't ask, he has just been the sweetest thing ever and I am so thankful for him! Oh...and my other bff is leftover Halloween candy!  :))

    My toddler!!!!

    When I say the baby is making me sleepy she brings me a stuffed animal and plays in her room quietly while I take a nap in mine for 40 minutes or an hour, which is like a lifetime for a toddler.

    She reminds me to take my "baby pill" (prenatal) every night.

    And she gives me "spa treatments" if I'm not feeling well. I get bad headaches and she brushes my hair and gives me a neck "massage" and "paints" my nails.
