Leakage

16w6d

So yesterday when I woke up I was feeling congested...I think it's allergies and since I can't take anything for it (or at least I'm choosing not to), I've been using my Neti Pot.  That's that genie lantern-like thing that Dr. Oz introduced us to on Oprah years back.  It's a simple process of draining the nasal cavity by running warm, saline water through one nostril and out the other.  For beginners, it can feel a bit like drowning, but once you get used to it, it's amazing and really cleans everything out.  My ears often pop and I'm left feeling great.

So I used my neti pot...ran the water through...and before I knew it, I looked down...

And there was a murder scene in my sink.

Blood clots (or maybe bloody snot) and watery blood pouring from my nose.

Alarming?

Only for a moment.  For I am well read where pregnancy symptoms are concerned and I know that bloody noses are very common at this time.

But I really didn't think that it would happen like that!  It was a mess, but as soon as I was done blowing it all out (after draining each nostril, you blow your nose and the heavens open up), the blood stopped.  Thank goodness.

And just now?

I sneezed.

And a little pee came out.

I'm officially falling apart.

And I'm loving every second of it.
