Chicken pox in Portland Maine area

[Kindermama]

Email me if you are interested in exposing your child/ren to chicken pox. We live just outside Portland Maine. Tomorrow or sometime next week....my youngest hasn't sprouted yet so there is time!

They'll sprout 10-21 days after exposure so it won't affect their first days of school!

Man, I am so tempted to drive up. I probably won't, but if you were only a few hours closer, I definitely would.

We are for sure going to be there! I emailed you through the Mom-2-Mom loop!

I though the pox were around more in the spring, but we'll takem' any time.

I was really hoping to go to the pox party but my youngest has a cold and I'm not ok with pox and a cold so please, a favor for those that go to the "party", and kids get the pox? Do you all mind updating the post so maybe by then my youngest is over his cold and we could come and get infected??

TIA!!!

[isaakspacifier]

We will keep you posted!

Thanks so much!!

any updates? we're in kittery and would love to get it but had family here when we would have driven up. If anyone else went and is willing to share when the time comes we'd happily come party. : thanks!

Hi! We're in Portsmouth, NH and would like to get in on this, too, if/when the time is right.

Thank you!

My kids are all done with it! Isaakspacifier came over Maybe she'll share the germs once/if her son gets it too!

We are still waiting! He had a fever for 2 days(99.5) and now it's gone.

Oh were oh were are those little red bumps???

Thanks for the update. My youngest stuffy nose just seemed to get worse so I'm hoping your kids take a little longer to break out...just a little longer.

i HATED those "little red bumps" when cas was a toddler. i think he had roseola like 3 times - at least! spike high fever followed by tons of spotting... but not a pox in sight. i was SO hopeful one time i actually called my cousin to tell her i may have contaminated her kid. false alarm, sadly.
