In order to look good for the boys, she has to spend some time in the tanning salon. In medical speak, she has a high bilirubin count. A fairly common diagnosis in newborns having to do with her liver function that would probably go away on its own, but it could lead to worse things if left untreated. She will have to sleep in this "tanning bed" for 3 or 4 days along with a strip of lighted plastic that fits under her clothes which has to be plugged in all the time. The bottom line is they look yellow! It sure hasn't affected her attitude though. She is an easy going baby that only gets upset when she is hungry or just got pricked for more blood in her foot. Yes, she is my mellow yellow little girl whom I love more each day. Maria is doing a great job considering how much sleep she isn't getting, and I am doing great thanks to my mother-in-laws cooking.
It sounds like someone might have her Daddy wrapped around her finger. Better go back to work, she looks like she's going to be asking for a Mercedes!
