Hi all, DS1 isn't too bad, all things considered. I guess the vaccine has helped in terms of him having a mild dose of it. Mind you, mild is bad enough. DS2 is still ok, and DS3 (my main concern) is incredibly snotty at the moment, so if he does get it I can only hope it holds off a few days. Of course my fingers are crossed he doesn't get it at all. It's going around DS1's classroom, he's the third to have it and I was told a fourth child came out in spots at the weekend, so I think it's a fair assumption he's picked it up from his classmates. Not that that worries me - I'm sure Cam has passed on a cold or two amongst his friends. Hey, that's what school's for.

Have to say, every time I have an itch or a scratch I'm inspecting it "just in case". I'm incredibly paranoid about chicken pox - I always have been after seeing my mum get it when she was in her 30s. I hope like hell my vaccine holds up for me!
