gabe's stupid cord finally fell off
today!!!!
last night when i changed him i noticed it
was suuuuper lose, like, only hanging on
my a little string. & .then today, at
the trailer (we stayed with .chris last
night!  ), i was changing
his diaper, & noticed that it was
totally unattached & sitting up above
his little belly button! i was like
".yesss!!!! it fell off!"
.now he can have a *real* bath!
it took long enough! he's over a month
old, for heavens sake!

i thought it was supposed to be only like
2 weeks or something!
things with .chris went great. he's been
really affectionate the past 2 days we've
spent together. he's still keeping his
distance, i can tell. but he is really
really acting like he's enjoying my
company again. it's great.

Yay .Gabe!
Jenny's fell off 4 days after she was
born.. and I was expecting it to stay on
longer. But I guess every baba is
different!

.gabe's didn't smell until 3 days ago! it
stunk like a rotting corpse! *gag* i
cleaned it with alcohol wipes once or
twice a day towards the end, but that's
it.

finally! so did you give him a real bath
right away? finn's belly button looked raw
after his stump fell off and he hated
being in the water anyway (now he loves
it) so it was quite a while before he got
a real bath.
did you keep it?

beck, me & .chris are doing well. we
got back together & we're just taking
it one day a time! it's going pretty good
so far! & .it's okay! take your time!
& .yes, b! we gave him a bath today.
he didn't mind it too much until the very
very end. & i absolutely did not keep
it! lol i thought about it, but it was way
too nasty looking.

yay! I was so happy when braydens fell
off, I thought his belly button was so
cute! Braydens took almost 4 weeks to so
don't worry about it taking so long!
I thought you had to wait a week before
submerging there belly buttons in a bath
after the cord fell off...am I wrong?
