First Sick Visit :(

Sunday morning, Claire began coughing and sneezing, and she sounded kind of congested. It got worse throughout the day, so we consulted our handy copy of Baby 411 (thanks for the recommendation, Lindsay!). Her symptoms fell into the "Needs appointment the next day" category rather than the "Needs immediate attention" or "Watch and wait" categories. We got an appointment with our pediatrician Monday morning, and I was reassured to find out that it's just a common cold. Unfortunately at this age there's not much you can do except wait it out - she's too young to take any medication that would help relieve the symptoms. The doctor told me that it probably bothers us more than it does her, and that seems to be true - she's still eating and sleeping well, and isn't too much fussier than normal. Hopefully it will run it's course quickly!
