Hello, Ladies!
This past Saturday our family was visiting at my MIL's house. My SIL was there for a while, with her 7 month old baby, who we just found out today, has chicken pox. I was the only one who held her, really, except for my 8 year old, who held her for just a minute. I have had chicken pox, but none of my children have. I'm not so terribly worried about them getting it, but does that make us carriers? Because yesterday we were at a party at my sister's house with her 2 little ones, and 3 other little kids. Should we stay home for the next 10 days to wait and see if any dc have it?? Not that I would want to infect anyone else, but um, <gulp>, that hits me like a short-term jail sentence and I'm already a little kooky as it is!!       Do we cancel all extras, like my dd's choir class?
I know it sounds really selfish in not wanting to be housebound, I know God gives us what we need for each day, but boy I have this dread that each of my 5 kids will get c.p. 2 weeks apart for the next 2 or 3 months!!!!    
Got some helpful advice for me?

you're only contagious for a couple days before you break out.
