The boys broke out with chicken pox right on schedule (exactly two weeks after Emma). I saw spots on Sawyer first and by Saturday night, all three were covered. Through the weekend they were still feeling good but there was misery all around on Monday.
Nathan got by fairly easily. He continued to run and jump all around the house. Sawyer and Slade on the other hand got hit hard. They both got fevers and Sawyer's bum was a very sorry sight. They took lots of baths, ate popsicles for breakfast, and watched an obscene amount of TV. By Thursday, everyone was feeling better and were all scabbed over by Saturday.
I was so very lucky to have had my parents there that week to help me. Don't know how I would have done it without them. For a few more details on the week, check out my mom's post here.

What a crazy first month+ of Anna's life for you! Chicken pox freak me out cause I have seen older kids get so sick from them, and have an uncle that got them later in life and was hospitalized and has shingles now. Crazy stuff! Glad things are on the down slope for you now :)
typo- mean Anne...sheesh!
