6 weeks

I'm thinking our girl has a sense of humor.  There was some concern in the house the past week or two as her umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet, and that can be a symptom of a no-good disease.  So the doctor said bring her in at 6 weeks if it still hasn't fallen off and we'll get her tested.  Well, yesterday the two of us along with her Aunt Ebonie (thank you for the moral support!) went to the doctors to get the blood drawn.  It was one day shy of the 6 week mark, but Erwin and I wanted to make sure we'd have the results this week - and as both we and the doctor noted, it didn't look like it was anywhere near falling off.  Well at 5:30 am this morning (her 6 week birthday) when I was dealing with an exploding diaper, I looked down and saw that her belly looked flatter...because the umbilical cord fell off in the middle of the night.  Funny girl...
