I came home from the hospital with chicken pox. At least that is what I was told, happened. There was an outbreak at the hospital where I was born. I still have the scars on my face (chin area) where the scabs rubbed off and left a nasty indentation or four. I don't even notice them since they have been there forever, for me.

I don't remember the illness but my Mom surely did. She said I was an unhappy camper for days and of course, it looks so nasty when the scabs show and the itching begins.

I hope your son does ok with it. I suspect he will. I bet the baby is getting your immunity via your milk. Good thing. I don't know how it spreads. Not sure if it is a virus - I think it is a virus and if that is the case.....well, prepare yourself. All about chicken pox ----> http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/c...topic-overview

Let us know how this works out for you and I am sure we are all hoping the the chicken pox skips right over you and your baby.

Happy New Year dear ones.
