Maddy's umbilical cord fell off today!!
It was hanging on by a thread this morning during her diaper change! Unfortunately, we noticed some oozing from her bellybutton, which turned out to be an umbilical granuloma. The pediatrician cauterized the tissue with silver nitrate and now we're just waiting for the remaining stump to dry up!
Although we didn't get a picture of her umbilical cord... we did take her temperature, to make sure there was no infection associated with the remaining cord.
