It was a while, but I don't remember
exactly how long. Jaylon's fell out when
he was just over 2 weeks old and it bled
and weeped for a couple of weeks. Just
keep putting the alcohol to it and make
sure it's extra dry. As long as it isn't
hurting little Brianna I'm sure it's fine.

okay i meant to say pussie like there is a
lot of puss. oh well i think you know
what i meant, and yeah it doesnt seem to
be bothering her i just dont want her to
get an infection or anything and we still
have 3 weeks before she goes to the doctor
again.

are you submerging her for baths? finn's
was a little yucky for awhile after his
stump fell off and i just continued to
sponge bathe him until it was completely
healed.
4 weeks seems like a long time for it to
still be weepy. maybe you should call the
nurse just to see what they say.

That
was pretty funny. I was trying to figure
out what you meant by vagina but now I can
see why this system did that from saying
"pussie". Related to the cord, I
personally would call the doctors and talk
to a nurse.
How are you doing?? Are you getting sleep?
