Poor, Pitiful, Pearce

So, Pearce has his first cold and he is so pitiful :(  He had a little bit of a cough yesterday and was kind of fussy, but I thought it was the beginnings of teething since he has been drooling so much.  The drooling can cause babies to cough a little.  Well, this morning he woke up so congested with the worse sounding cough.  He was coughing up lots of mucus, too.  Then he started sneezing.  I called the doctor and got the last appointment available at 2:15.  His eyes started getting watery and the coughing and sneezing did not stop.  He just wanted me to hold him.  He has slept most of the day.  We went to the doctor, and she said it was just a normal cold...there was nothing in his chest and he wasn't wheezing, so not much we could do about it.  I did get him a humidifier to ease the congestion.  I know he feels so yucky, but I'm kinda loving it because he just wants me to hold him.  My poor baby!

This is what we did most of the morning, waiting to go to the doctor.


After the doctor's appointment.  Soooo sad!

You can see his watery eyes here.  
We had to go to Wal Mart to get the humidifier...this is how he looked the entire time we were at Wal Mart.  Poor little guy!!!!
