Sinus what, you say?! This is an oddball post, but once again I am plagued with a sinus infection. I either have sympathy for Brynn getting ear infections or both of our bodies just revolt to the change in weather, but I seem to get sick within a day or two of her. My doctor gave me this home remedy to help clear out the sinuses and boy, does it work. Effective yet disgusting.
If any of you happen to share in having allergies, or know of someone who could benefit from this remedy make sure to pass the 'recipe' on. Basically, you boil a cup of water. Let it cool to lukewarm temperature. Add a pinch of baking soda, one-third teaspoon of non-iodized salt, and stir. (Plain water will burn your nose, this solution is close to the body's normal pH.) Over a sink and with a syringe (i.e. one you would use to give a child medicine), hold one nostril closed and then squirt the solution up the other nostril. You will need to try and suck it up the nose and it will drain back down your throat. It can make you gag a little. Use 1/2 cup solution per nostril. The lovely snot will either work it's way out the nose or back down the throat for you to spit out. As bad as that may sound it has provided much relief. Keep Kleenex handy to blow out the loosened snot :-)
...3 more days until the ultrasound! I'll probably post an update Tues. evening.

Oh yeah, I've heard about something similar on Oprah from Dr. Oz. You can actually buy something called a "Netty Pot"(I think that's how you spell it?) from the pharmacy. My mom swears by it.
I bet you can't wait until the ultrasound!!! That is so exciting!
