Being Monday and the fact that it is contagious for 2days before the rash I would think it is unlikely it came from the daycare...as the kids were all home 2 days and came today with no rash.
My understanding is that the baby is most at risk during the first 20weeks of pregnancy. Being 7.5months along would mean she is past the most worrisome stage so baby should be ok. Chicken pox can cause birth defects, but since the that happens in the first half of pregnancy baby is at less risk. Now baby is growing bigger and stronger so the chicken pox likely wouldn't cause long lasting effects.
All that said, when pregnant EVERYTHING can cause fear in new mom and dad so they must be incredibly worried :-(
Hopefully none of your kiddos catch it.
