Where to begin in my story of the Neti Pot. I guess I’ll have to start from the beginning. The first time I heard what a Neti Pot was, I was quite disgusted. All of my family calls me “Nettie” and now there was a nasty nose cleaning devise with my nickname in the title. Then my husband started calling me Neti Pot. There was no way that was going to last longer than a day! Gross.<\/p>\n

So where am I going with all this hate? Last week my allergies started kicking in. I am in no way, shape or form a pill taker, especially while pregnant, so I found myself in a pickle. I did some research online only to find my deepest fear to be true. A Neti Pot seemed my only answer for relief. After days of being miserable, I broke down and bought one. Then it sat in the cupboard for days because I was afraid of it. Today was the day. With the windows open and me barely being able to breath, I finally caved.<\/p>\n

Was it as bad as I thought it would be? Yes. It may have actually been worse. Did it make my nose feel nice after? To my disappointment and relief, yes. I am sad because tomorrow I will probably be using the blasted thing again. I have not even shared with you the best part of it all. My sweet, loving, caring husband came in the kitchen to be what I thought was supportive… and then he pulls out the camera. He did indeed document the occasion even after I begged him not to. Oh and his words of encouragement were “If Oprah can do it, so can you.” Thanks Sweetie!\u00a0So here is the most unattractive, gross picture ever.<\/p>\n
