My tiny guy started getting spots on Sunday night and Monday morning it was confirmed by Dr. J. that our little four month old baby has the chicken pox.
: (
Poor guy. He's been a real trooper so far.
They are multiplying rapidly and I can tell he's gets uncomfortable sometimes. But if I can keep him distracted he seems to do okay. I guess it's good that he can't scratch them.
It's rare for babies under six months to get chicken pox as their mothers antibodies for it are passed to them during gestation. I never had the chicken pox, but did test positive for the antibody prior to pregnancy. Maybe mine weren't strong enough? Or I didn't have enough to share?!
It's so sad to see these nasty red bumps appear on his soft, smooth skin. But, this too shall pass, right?
Sorry about the fuzzy photo, he's a wiggly little guy! That was taken last night and he has many more. We'll take some more as it progresses.

Poor little guy.
Oh my. That is so sad. Hope he feels better soon
:(
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Oatmeal baths can help soothe the itch.
Poor spotty little man!
