Here she is, poor poppet. We can't count how many spots she has. Her scalp feels like a pommander it's so bumpy. She has virulent pussy ones on her face and angry ones all over her tummy and back. She has some right on her lower lip and on her eyelid by the lashes. They are starting to spread to her arms and legs, so I imagine that she will be contagious for another 3 or even 4 days.
It must be bad because her demeanour is understandably suffering. Our little Soph is glum and tetchy; Seb has even learnt the word "fractious". She is sleeping well-enough at night, but hardly at all in the day. She is off her food but on her milk. And she goes through periods of just swatting endlessly and fairly fruitlessly at her itchy bits and so we have her on anti-histimines.
I've included a pre-pox shot of her. She loves to crawl over to the root vegetable basket and rummage around. She is wearing a very sweet ensemble of clothes donated by everyone else - right down to her nappy. So thanks Aunties Erin, Kelly, Deb & Nell!
