So Owen’s umbilical stump fell off yesterday. I was expecting healed skin and a cute belly button underneath, but apparently not yet, as it’s still a bit scabby. I looked online to make sure it didn’t match the photos of umbilical granulomas or umbilical sepsis and we seem to be ok.
In other navel news, mine has turned from an ‘outie’ to an ‘innie’ again. I was wondering how long it was going to take post-pregnancy before it returned to something that didn’t look like a mini-donut taped to my belly. The answer is about 2 weeks. It was weird still looking ‘pregnant’ after delivery, but things are slowly returning to my normal shape. I can get into early preggers clothes and some normal clothes, but it’s gonna be awhile before things are back to normal.
Sounds like everything is going well for BOTH of you! BTW, the pics you sent out last week looked to me like you’d already gotten very close to your pre-preggers size!! I’ve always had an incredibly deep innie so I’m waiting to see how long it takes that puppy to get pushed out!!
