Umbilical Cord

how handsome is this fella, though? :)

why do these things stay on for SO long?! gah! i always feel bad about giving the babe tummy time when they still have this attached :( it's been over three weeks (yesterday was three!) and i can't stand it anymore. well, not really- but i always worry about if it is comfortable for the babe or if it will start smelling foul and/or something bad will happen and i will need to take the babe to the doc's. none of which would be all that bad. just a fair nuisance with two other cuties to worry about.
