The Good News Is...

This.
All over her belly and bootie and back of her legs with a few on her arms and thighs, too.


 Add that to the green snotty cold and cough she has and we were googling all sorts of germs and symptoms to find a match.  Nothing fit though.  After a private photo/conference call with my sister, the nurse, we deduced that these were not, in fact, post viral bumps as we thought they might be.  So we decided we better hit up the pediatrician to rule out childen pox or some other ick factor.  BUT, one more google search after that ended up revealing the truth.

The good news is that we are pretty confident it's not chicken pox.


The bad news is that we are pretty confident that Josh's new baby, the hot tub, is to blame. : S  Just google "hot tub folliculitis" and you'll know why the chances are slim to none that I will ever get in that hot tub of ours at all!  And it's gonna take a lot of bleach and chemicals before I trust letting my babies back in there either.

  2. Ha! You would not believe all the nagging and prodding I do to get food into her face. Nothing doing. :S As for the bumps, they don't bother her a bit. There are a couple that get rubbed by her clothes, but mostly that has been a non-factor. Thankful for that!

    Noah, btw, got some bumps, too, but WAAAY less. I am thinking her cold and cough has weakened her immune system and explains why she broke out so much more.

    JOsh was mourning his hot tub tonight. First non-rainy night in over a week he hasn't gotten in. :S
