Bio Baby

Shortly after Niya was born we found out that she has a different blood type than I do. The result of that difference was Jaundice. In order to leave the hospital we had to do treatments for the jaundice at home. This involved a funny machine called a bilirubin blanket. This machine emits a blue light that would help her body to deal with the excess bilirubin from broken red blood cells. She had to be on the machine 24 hours a day for 3 days. The machine gets strapped around her torso and then turned on and it glowes bright blue... like a little glow worm. Here are some silly pictures of our "Bio Baby" all hooked up! 

Mommy can't pick up this "portable" machine... so we pretty much stay right here!

Don't I have a nice glow?!

This only works with button up outfits!
Let me tell you we were pretty happy to give this thing back and to be told that she didn't need it anymore! Yippee! :)
