polka-dotted baby



Lex was one of those lucky babies that gets the measles rash and fever from the vaccination. So on Friday she broke out in a crazy rash which got steadily worse 'til about sunday afternoon. Now she is just blotchy and getting better. She never got as sick as babies do when they have the measles but she looked terrible and felt terrible for a couple of days.

the pics were taken sat morning. I wish I would have taken one a day later at it's worst.



when I took her to the dr. a little girl said, "look! That baby has polka dots!" She thought it was just darling (though all the other people were horrified). The nurse when I took lex into the exam room said, "oh goodness, I am so sorry your baby looks like that." Glad she is on the mend and that it wasn't the real measles!

She's so little! Aren't rashes the worst? People give you such funny looks AND your kid is miserable. Feel better soon!

Poor sick baby. She's still adorable, and maybe you could call her "Spot"?
