I was lucky enough to do it while my husband was napping because he&#8217;s SO UNCOMFORTABLE about this that he&#8217;s teasing me relentlessly (he&#8217;s 32 going on 7).

Or should I just bring it in tomorrow and let them tell me it&#8217;s not enough (it actually may be enough, I don&#8217;t know!), and I&#8217;ll do it again tomorrow instead?
