Sorry your little guy didn't get to go.

I'm confused though. If you can't give anyone either shingles or chicken pox unless they touch your rash, why can't you visit a newborn?

I'm not trying to be controversial - just genuinely very confused and interested. Either it is or it isn't contagious. I get that its probably just being extra cautious given the vulnerability of a newborn (and if it was my newborn there's no way you'd be coming near him - sorry lovely!) but it is a contradiction.

Anyway, I hope you're feeling better and rash free soon Calluna, and that your little man stays ok.
