Due to Thomas's jaundice he had to stay wrapped in the billi blanket all day and all night. We were only allowed to take him out for 30 minutes every 3 hours to feed him. It was awful!! He was tethered to the wall since he had to stay plugged in. The plastic made him sweat awful keeping him damp all the time. AND his umbilical cord came off after not even a week due to the edge of the blanket rubbing it! We ended up getting coordinated enough to feed and change him without taking him out of it which reduced his chances of having to be put back in the hospital. He stayed wrapped up in it for nearly a week!

Mommy and Thomas in the floor next to the bed because the plug wouldn't reach any further!
We called him the bionic baby since the blanket gave off a blueish glow. Not to mention the magical sleeping power it seemed to have over Chris and I since all the pictures are of us holding him asleep!
