Camille loses her belly button - November 9, 2009

The nurse told me to use water and soap to clean Camille's belly button. Nothing else?! No alcohol? No peroxide? These are all the things I used for Ainsley's belly button ten years ago. Hers took awhile to fall off.  Camille's took 17 days to fall off, and I didn't have to do more than give her a bath. I was getting out of bed after nursing Camille and I had been laying on something. As I went to brush it off the bed, disgusted that there were crumbs or some kind of foreign fuzz ball in my bed, I realized just before I got rid of it that it was Camille's belly button. That little bugger's belly button fell right off by itself! So I put it in an envelope, labeled and dated it, and put it in the "Camille momentos" file.
