Micah is 15 days old today! YAY! And his umbilical cord end finally fell off!! Now we don't have to be so gentle when cleaning and we can try more of a real bath (as if he might like that any better than the washcloth baths we have been giving him, I doubt it!) And we don't have to worry about keeping it dry and using the peroxide and keeping the diapers lower...which I do think has made them fit a little awkwardly (that and the fact that he is so teeny that they can't get close enough to his body to hold in what is supposed to stay in the diaper) and we don't have to feel like maybe we are hurting him...
Well, it didn't actually just fall off...kind of like how matt spent about the last month or two of my pregnancy wishing, praying and even attempting to pull out my belly button so that it would become an outie...it was with that determination and excitement that he eventually coaxed the last little bit of cord away from Micah's belly. I have to say the belly button is so much cuter!! Now we have to take more naked pictures without the black cord on the belly...more to come...
