Baby Tanning Bed.

Olivia has had a problem with jaundice since we brought her home. Yesterday we took her to the Doctor's office because she was looking a bit orange and the doctor said that she needed to be on a bili light for the next 24 hours. That means that we can't hold her unless she is feeding. And even then we have what is called a blanket bili light that needs to be on her back. At first she didn't seem to mind but this morning she has decided that she doesn't like it at all. Probably because it is beginning to work.

Any way It looks like she is on a tanning bed. We thought that we would share.

Olivia Ann Barnett

Monday September 19, 2011 4:33 PM we were blessed with a precious little angel. Her name is Olivia Ann Barnett. Chelsea was induced at 1:50 PM by breaking her water, no pitocin was used. After about 20 minutes contractions started. After about 2 hours Chelsea began pushing at 4:30 PM. Chelsea was awesome when it came time to push and it only took 3 rounds of pushing to get Olivia into this world.

Olivia wasn't breathing quite like the nurses and Doctors would have liked her to so they took her up to the NICU to put her on a CPAP machine to help her get going a little better. They also put a feeding tube in to get her a little nourishment and an I.V. in her hand to get some glucose into her system as her blood sugar was a little low. After about an hour on the machine the took her off and she did great on her own. So we took her down to the nursery to get bathed and dressed.

Currently her and Chelsea are doing well and resting. Olivia's blood sugar is a little low but nothing that a good feeding or two won't help with. We are so glad that she is here with us finally and that Chelsea is now going to return to normal after 9 months of not being able to eat normally, having migraines, and having her heart race at 200 beats per minute for no reason whatsoever.
