One of the random side effects/symptoms of pregnancy, is bloody noses.  Weird, right?  Of course there's a totally logical reason for it, but it's still an annoying and odd thing to have to deal with among all the other changes your body is going through.  One of the suggestions that doctors give you to deal with them, is to get a humidifier.  A humidifier also happens to be one of the only things you're able to use to treat a cold, which I came down with this past week. 

So off to the store we went last weekend to buy a cool mist humidifier.  We'll likely need one for the baby anyway, so it seemed like a smart investment.  I used it mostly at night, and it was actually working!  I think I only had one bloody nose this week (trust me, that's a huge improvement) and my cold passed pretty quickly too.  I was hooked.
