Jaundice

We have had an eventful week. On Saturday, Kaitlyn and I took Ben to the doctor to get his Bilirubon levels checked to see if he was getting jaundice. They were higher than the doctor liked, so we decided to try the Bili Lights with Ben. We had to do the lights with Kaitlyn when she was a newborn, which made it a little easier to handle this time. It is the worst feeling in the world when your child is not completely healthy, and I know in my family that is not uncommon as someone is always sick. Kaitlyn hated having to leave Ben under the lights, which we called his tanning booth. She kept climbing up on the side of the crib and turning the lights off. She then would tell me to take the baby out. She is already such a protective big sister. On the positive side, Ben's Bilirubon levels came down after two days, and he does not have to use the lights anymore. Also, he looks soo cute laying in his little tanning bed.

They look so similar it is the cutest thing. I love how they both look so annoyed.
