In addition to her crop of thick blonde hair, Molly was born with a little tan that immediately made the doctors suspect jaundice. Since being released from the hospital, we've visited the pediatrician, the lab, or the hospital daily, if not twice-daily, to keep tabs on her bilirubin levels. She's endured too many heel pricks to count, but true to form, she slept through most of the trauma!
Here she is perfectly content on her little tanning bed/ bilirubin blanket. Doesn't laying on a hard plastic strip that hums and glows just look relaxing?? Molly thought so!
We're relieved to report that her bilirubin levels finally started to come down on Friday!

So glad those levels are coming down! We had the same problem with George, only he was readmitted to the hospital. It was aweful, and I am soi glad they gave you the billiblanket! She is REALLY yellow!!!
Yeah thank goodness they are coming down. The band aid on her heel is so sad :( She is super cute. I love how sweet Joey is with her!
