I realize how weird this post is. My sister Ashley will tell you that this day, for some strange reason, makes me sad! It's the day when I wake up to find that the clamped off belly button cord has fallen off my baby sometime during the night. Why you ask does this make me sad? I somehow feel like when this happens, my baby is no longer a BABY. I know it sounds weird. I will still be getting up 3 to 4 times to feed this little baby during the night. I will still be changing a BABY diaper half a dozen times during the day. I will still be changing a spit up, formula drenched onesie two times or so before bath time. I will still have to leave my blog 5 times to put a binkie in my babies mouth so she will stop crying and fall asleep. It's weird, I know. She is 13 days old today and her belly button is gone. I guess now she will enjoy a warm bath in the tub instead of on the countertop!!
What do you all do with the belly button when it falls off? Do you toss it? Keep it? Scrapbook it? I'd love to hear what you do!!
