Rash-y-ness

Wowsers. Only 9 a.m. and I'm exhausted. Brie got up at 4:30 - she still hasn't adjusted to the time change.  But she's down for a nap.  yay!  Around 4:30 p.m. yesterday she started developing a rash, didn't know if it was an allergic reaction to some food or a reaction to the mmr and varicella shots last week.  Called our doctor's office and the doctor on call said to give her some benadryl.  So we tracked some down and gave her some around 6:30 p.m. and she went to sleep a little after 7.  We checked on her before we went to bed  and when she woke up her rash seemed a lot better. But after being awake an hour or so it reappeared.  So we are thinking it must be a slight reaction to the varicella shot.  It's a bumpy looking rash and doesn't really seem to bother her and she doesn't have a fever, so as long as it doesn't get worse, we'll just watch her.

Have any other moms who gave their baby the varicella immunization have this issue?  Or is Brie just lucky?
