Rashy

So both the babies are rashy, but the rashes seem different. Lucy had a 3-4 day fever and then got the rash, which I have diagnosed as Roseola. Apparently we all walk around with the virus, and virtually everyone gets it about 1 year of age because that is when the mother's immunity the baby is born with wears off. I thought Harper must have the same, but there was never a high fever and her rash looks splotchy, kind of like an allergic reaction. Neither of them seem particularly bothered by it, and Lucy's is pretty much gone, so for now I'm just "watching".
