Chicken Pox Monster

I took Melynn for some "routine" vaccinations and a flu shot about 12 days ago. Among the array of vaccines she received the MMRV vaccine. When Peter and I and probably most of you were kids we just got the MMR shot (measles, mumps, and Rhubella), but now they have added the V, which stands for chicken pox. Only 5 out of every 100 kids get spots. It's so nice to know that my kid was one of the five. And not to mention we had family pictures today with Peter's extended Family. Needless to say we were thrilled. Below are some pictures our Pox Monster. Enjoy!

These are some pictures of what her back and face looked like yesterday:



There are a few spots on her face, but not many.





And this is what she looks like today:

















And we are not so happy to say we are now entering into the itchy stage. FUN!

That is so aweful. I am so sorry little Melynn. I remember mine, and I still have a few scars to prove I got to the itchy stage, and scratched too much. It looks sad.
