25-6-2008 - Chickenpox

My mood while writing this blog: OK

Hello everyone, well this morning I woke up to find my poor little Alexandra covered from head to toe in chickenpox!! She has been a bit off it for the last few days and had the symptoms of a cold, I actually thought she had hayfever, but nope this morning my doctor confirmed chickenpox.

The spots are really itchy and the poor little mite has loads of them on her head in her hair not to mention all over the rest of her body, and she is getting frustrated with them! I am on standby with the calamine lotion dabbing her with it all the time!!! We had a really busy few weeks ahead of us but everything has had to be cancelled because she cant go to nursery, school or be around the general public, because she is contagious! So we are like a pair of hermits !!!! lol

We had a good nap together today though and seen as she is poorly we had the nap in my big bed all cosy together, I needed the sleep because I am starting to get tired easily being 31 weeks pregnant and all!!! Can you believe it 31 weeks pregnant, I cant believe baby number two will be arriving in a matter of weeks, Im getting soooooo excited now. Im all ready and just hope these last 9 weeks dont drag. I also feel fortunate that Alexandra got chickenpox now rather than in a few weeks time when we have a newborn baby in the house, that would have been a disaster!!!!!

Anyways I hope you are all doing well with your pregnancies, babies, ttc etc etc..... Love to all
