Hello Everyone!!
Life is good here in California, Brett and I are enjoying very little sleep and LOTS of baby loving. As you can see from the picture, Ariella is our little lightning bug, shes attached to what is called a “billi blanket” . This billy blanket is basically a UV light that helps treat jaundice by removing Billiruben (not sure spelling) or neutralizing it. We’ve been back to the hospital every day since we were released because her billireuben levels kept going up meaning her jaundice was getting progressively worse.. not good..however it could be worse.
After the blood test yesterday the doctor had the billi blanket ordered and delieved to our house, QUITE the ordeal let me tell you- this HUGE moving truck thing pulls up and this HUGE guy gets out, all to deliver this tiny little bag LOL!!! We’ve been treating her all night and supplementing her feedings to flush out the bad stuff. We hope after the blood test this morning she will be in the clear and we can stop- who knew we would be thankful for a regular 3am feeding?? LOL..
Anyways- we will keep everyone updated and when I have more sleep I will tell everyone the whole hospital story..
Love everyone!!!
Brett, Michelle and Little Lightning bug Ariella!!
P.s. Also there are new pics on our PICASA website
P.P.S Look at the picture, we let Ariella use a pacifier for like 2 seconds- notice how shes holding it IN HER MOUTH??!!! LOL pretty funny, she literally held iit in her mouth when we tried to take it way (one smart baby!) but eventually she gave in when offered something tastier
