So everyone who has had a baby knows how gross belly buttons are. Well it's a good thing I am not a doctor, because I get pretty squimish. I DON'T LIKE BELLY BUTTONS! So I am always really glad when they fall off at about a week and a half. Yet Becky's had decided to be difficult. She is now three weeks old and it isn't even close to falling off. Yes I have been cleaning it, Yes I put alochol on it, yes I let it air out. But she as a VERY inny belly button and the cord can't seam to dry out because it is so far in her tummy. We had to go get it cauterized yesterday to hopefully help it fall off.
But while at the doctors she of corse got her stats so here they are.
Starting on her birthday
6 lb 11 oz. 19 in long
Two week check up
7 lb 12 oz 20 in long
Three weeks
8 lb 12 oz 21 in long
I can't believe she is growing so fast already. I also think it's funny she gained exactly a pound and 1 inch in almost exactly a week. But just she is now letting me feed her every three hours instead of every two. She is getting pretty chunky.

I do not like the belly buttons either. I am always so glad when they finally fall off and stop bleeding. Her measurements are crazy. That is so funny.
Rocco's took about 6 weeks to fall off and I heard that you should just leave it alone and let it come when it comes. I only put alcohol on it maybe once a day after I hear that. They do get big too fast.
I am sorry about the belly button burning. I know how much you hate dealing with the cord. Good luck.
What a big girl!! I hate the baby belly buttons too. I hope hers heals quickly so you don't have to keep taking care of it. It will be one less thing to do!
