This evening I went to change Laila's diaper and low and behold, her umbilical cord had fallen off! At first I was a little freaked out because it doesn't just look like a belly button - I don't know how to explain it, but if you google it you will see. Thankfully my cousin Juliet and her mom visited me today and brought me the book "what to expect the first year" and it has a little section on the topic, and it says that what I am seeing is normal. The book says to only be concerned if it doesn't dry up within the next couple of days or something like that. Laila has another Drs appointment in a couple of days for a weigh-in, so I will have them look at it just to be sure. I do still have questions though ... for example, I knew that when her stump was on that I could only give her sponge baths, but now that it is off can I give her a normal bath? I'm going to refrain from doing so until I know for sure.
Oh my - Laila just farted so loudly it scared her and she jumped lol - sorry, just had to share that. Right now she is wide awake (WIDE AWAKE, and it's 11:30pm) sucking away at her pointer finger so loudly! She never fails to make Enzio and me laugh. I just love her so much! It is a bit overwhelming. I am totally and completely obsessed with my daughter.
