Alexandra lost her crusty little bit of umbilical cord stump last night. This means she can soon have a real bath!!






As an added bonus, we no longer have to be creeped out by the shriveled up little thing sticking out of her belly.

This step-by-step baby-blogging is very fascinating to me, because I don't know anything at all about babies. Who knew you couldn't bathe them when they have the umbilical stump?

These things should come with a manual.

Isn't it wonderful to have too much time in your hand when you have a new baby, go to school, have a job, one of you is healing from c section and preparing for chemotherapy and you still have time to keep us all informed of what is going on with you and the baby. I for one really appreciate your effort. Keep up the good work.

Ew.

You forgot to mention the most exciting part of this entire event... she can wear ONESIES!!!

Sarah might have to Google onesie now.

How handy!

Seems strange that you have to buy it separately. Although I guess it would be stranger if it came with the baby.

I love that everything can be found on Wikipedia (although, for the record, I already knew what it was!)

It is kind of fun when the thing finally falls off. And it looks like she will have a cute little belly button! The first bath will be fun, just remember that she will be a slippery little thing!
