More of my speckled baby!

So... It has been about a day or so since we have found any new spots on Gracie, but she is still technically contagious(I guess) since not all of the spots have scabbed over yet. She has been in pretty good spirits though, considering that she is probably really itchy. I am so thankful that this has happened now, rather than much later, but I still can't believe that she has got them. Here are some new pics of Gracie... The first ones are from Tuesday evening when we were giving her a bath. The other ones are from today... she is getting to the point where she is actually smiling now when she sees the camera... my daughter is a ham! LOL! So, here is more from the speckled baby! :)

My little speckled baby!

Well, it is definitely chicken pox... I just can't believe that she has chicken pox! She is just pitiful... she has a ton of little "pox" all over her little belly and back... and more on her face than I was expecting. Oh well... she is doing well otherwise. The Benedryl is helping her rest, which is good, so she is in pretty good spirits. She is a very good baby, and I thank God for her every day!


Here are some pics I took of her while she was napping just a little while ago...


Well... till next time! Have a great day!~

Unexpected Visitor...

So, this morning we had our day all planned out... We were going to get up early, go to Sam's, pick up a few things, run to Walmart, pick up the pictures for Michelle's shower, an then come home and get ready for the Shower. Grace and I were going to ride over to Norwood with Grandma McClain, and have a great day visiting with the cousins and Aunt Sue. Well, just as Doug started to undress Grace to get ready for the day, I took her and cuddled her for a moment and then sat her down on my bed to play for a minute. That is when I saw it... she had a little blister looking bump on her belly. Then... a few minutes later... she had 3 more, then a few minutes after that... she had even more. At first... thought it might have just been a bug bite. Unfortunately, it wasn't a bug bit... more like a chicken bite! Yep.... she has the pox. WE called the nurse and she said that it sure sounded like it, but to just watch it, and if they started to bust, then scab over, it was definitely chicken pox. So... plans changed. I still went shopping and Grace stayed home with her daddy. After that, we went to the shower without her. Poor little thing... by the time that I got home, she had a ton of them all over her! I will try to post some pics of her later... In the meantime, please pray for Gracie, and Gracie's momma! :)
