Jaundice

Shelby had high billiruben levels for the first week after birth. Here are some pics showing just how yellow she got.

The solution the doctor came up with was to stick her under blue lights. It came with this little covering that hung down to her neck to protect her eyes from the lights. She hated that thing and hardly slept a wink (and neither did I) the first night she was in it.

Finally they gave us this super hero mask-like contraption you see below and she did a whole lot better. Personally I think it was vanity. Not a week old yet and already worried about her tan lines.

Lindsay thought it looked like Spiderman's mask. Our little spider girl.
