I had a case of the chicken pox like yours! And 7 miscarriages? I have no idea how you did it. Two nearly undid me.

You are my hero again. The only time you had me worried was when you said you were going to show a photo and then later went on to say you couldn't wear any clothes... I wasn't sure I wanted to go there with you yet.<BR/><BR/>My oldest son got chicken pox three times. Each was a very mild case (which is why he kept getting it I guess), but his daycare provider had to stay home from his HONEYMOON after he caught chicken pox from my son!imbeingheldhostagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00771374087307254969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-46703524453631845832008-11-13T06:13:00.000-08:002008-11-13T06:13:00.000-08:00I love all of your warnings... (are you <I>sure</I> you want to see this?).... hee hee hee.<BR/><BR/>I had the chicken pox when I was 6. To have them at age 29? That had to suck! Yowza!<BR/><BR/><BR/>And about the photo... sure it might not be the most flattering, but I agree that those two boys take the focus away from you.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13655298574868899841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-24509577509753641742008-11-13T05:47:00.000-08:002008-11-13T05:47:00.000-08:00I gotta be honest Julie, it's a pretty bad picture, but, I promise that I have hundreds of photos of me that are just as bad, if not worse. I am not only not brave enough to show them, I am not brave enough to even look at them! My man loved me enough to marry me at an all time high weight and the photos are just hideous.... Even my priest friend said "I cannot believe that is you" when he stumbled across my hidden wedding picture recently! But, the cool thing is that despite the really bad years there are people who love us because they can see past the oozing bumps and the stretch marks! Thank God for great hubbies and innocent, loving children!Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14243762208001031580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-47259803105890239902008-11-13T01:19:00.000-08:002008-11-13T01:19:00.000-08:00You're right, that IS hideous. And you are brave.<BR/>And just so you know, Julie-wife-of-Zach, my kids are not imunized for anything and they got the chicken pox from thier cousin. In Romania. Who is FULLY immunized. And broke out with Pox. Thankfully, the kids didn't break out until we got home. I just couldn't see extending that trip any longer.Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818169243613602266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-52832282175310751422008-11-12T21:39:00.000-08:002008-11-12T21:39:00.000-08:00The set up was hilarious and I've seen worse in my bathroom mirror about every other day or so!

And little Seamus chilling on your lap. I absolutely LOVE this picture. You are going to have to try harder woman. You aren't scaring anyone. <BR/><BR/>I have pictures from when I had poison ivy all over my face. Actually I think it was poison sumac. Regardless, it was disgusting. Maybe I'll be brave enough to share it sometime.Chatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10292117880820909143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-75079478845346699422008-11-12T20:51:00.000-08:002008-11-12T20:51:00.000-08:00I just call that Monday morning my friend.Mama Papayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928718208052597051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-91027025431046170052008-11-12T18:43:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:43:00.000-08:00Uh oh, I haven't had the chicken pox...I think I should go find a kid who has it and just get it over with now!<BR/><BR/>You may not have been at his birth, but you get to have him every day for the rest of his life.

But I love how content you look, even with your spots. And I can see why .. what beautiful boys!

My sister is 33 and is yet to have the chicken pox - and she is a school teacher...to first graders. She's definitely keeping up on her vaccine. Both my brother and me had them in succession and my mom forced her to drink after us so she'd get them and she never did. Maybe she's like Will Smith in I Am Legend and is immune to the dreaded disease. <BR/><BR/>Don't worry, you don't look anything like "the infected" in that picture. <BR/><BR/>Oh forget it, I'm digging my hole deeper.Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04952741911671249913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-20628890870743999732008-11-12T13:01:00.000-08:002008-11-12T13:01:00.000-08:00Oh oh oh. I can't imagine chicken pox as an adult, let alone missing such a critical event. My heart goes out to you, but at least you got a happy ending? And I now know much more about the adult version of the chicken pox than I ever wanted to know.

I barely recognized you as the same person. Haven, on the other hand, has the same sweet face.

I just want to squeeze him! And look at teeny tiny Seamus! <BR/><BR/>I hate that you had to miss his birth but you do get to witness him from the moment he came home until forever!<BR/><BR/>Those darn chicken pox, egads! At least it's behind you! And I can totally relate to losing lots of little ones. I'm glad I did because we wouldn't have ventured down the path that ended up being beyond a blessing! God works wonders. You look beautiful and content in the picture. And, you look stunning now! :)Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10407367714914960156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-5522658208242973222008-11-12T10:49:00.000-08:002008-11-12T10:49:00.000-08:00YOu poor thing.

That was totally not worth the "prepare yourself and back out if you get woozy easily" stuff!

I mean, I've seen a lot worse (not of you, but in general.)<BR/><BR/>I always feel horrible when I have adults who come in with shingles, although I've never had an adult come in with the pox (probably not a hospitalizeable condition?)<BR/><BR/>I give my shingles peeps as much of their narcotics as they want:) And I would have done the same for you:)gracelinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12682893769698129746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176157812808956100.post-83947730926453500732008-11-12T07:22:00.000-08:002008-11-12T07:22:00.000-08:00Oh it's not as bad as you made it out to be.
