The Chickenpox, are you kidding me?

That's what I wanted to say to the doctor yesterday when he told us that's what Millie has. So much for a vaccine, right? On the bright side, since she has been vaccinated, he said it should be a much milder case and hopefully the outbreak of pox won't be as bad. But in the meantime, my poor little baby is covered in big red spots that are suppose to eventually blister, and then scab over. And how in the world do I keep a 1 year old from itching her body? What an exciting couple of days we have ahead of us! I'm just praying now that I don't go into early labor (which is in direct contradiction of what I have been praying for for the last month!) so that this little guy doesn't have to worry about getting it. July has not been a fun health month for the Andrus family, so heaven help us if we contract anymore illnesses/diseases before it's over!

One bright spot in all this mess is that Millie is now officially sleeping in a twin bed! It honestly has been the easiest transition, thankfully, and it's pretty cute to see her sleeping in a "big girl bed". She can easily get on and off of it, but for whatever reason, when she wakes up from her naps or in the mornings, she just lays there and waits until we come and get her; it's almost as if she thinks she can't get down on her own. We'll see how long this lasts (it's been 2 weeks), but for now, we are loving it!

The other fun part was that once we got Millie's furniture setup, we were able to move the baby furniture over into the other room for this little guy. His room isn't completely done (I still have a few bare walls), but it's definitely getting there. And I have to say I actually really like decorating in "boy colors"....who knew? I'll post pics once it really is done.
