Getting a Tan!

Jax was born with Jaundice. Mayla did as well but she never had to go under the lights. This was aweful. I hated putting him in there. He just is so small and to have to strip him down and just see him lay there and 'bake' it not my idea of fun. He would just jerk and move so much that he would pull the screen right off and didn't sleep very well. Todd even rigged the curtain to help it stay. He had to be under the lights for 5 days.
One of the nurses at the doctors office told us of the new bed that has the lights on the bottom. We decided to give it a try, it was much better. I felt better with him having something to cover him. Glad that is over, no more tanning sessions!!

Linus had to be on the lights in the NICU for a few days. The thing I hate about it the most is that it looks like a suitcase. So it totally looks like you can close your baby up in it and it just freaks me out.
