chicken pox freakout

so today, my brother came over and was looking at DD, 5, and said, "does she have chicken pox?". i brought her over to me and pulled up her shirt and sure enough, i am 99% sure she's got chicken pox. what a wonderful mother i am that i hadn't noticed.
my major concern however is that the new baby may have contracted them as well. she's been fussy as all get out the past few days, but she had her one month checkup on wednesday, no fever and nothing unusual. i haven't noticed anything on her and i gave her a bath this morning.
i am flipping out that she is going to get them and everything i have read says that it is life threatening in infants. she's only 5 weeks old.
