Esme had a big day today!
First of all, her social security card came in the mail today. So she is officially official!
Secondly, after a couple of days of bleeding around her umbilical cord stump, it finally came off! All but a string of it that is. We weren't sure how to get the rest off, if we should pull it off or not. We decided that pulling the last little string looked like it would hurt. So we took a scissors and ran it under the hottest water in our faucet (we don't have rubbing alcohol in our house - yet...) cut it off. Now we can start giving her real baths. We'll probably wait a couple of days to do that, because it still looks a little angry around her belly button. But soon! Although, the thought of giving her a bath does scare me just a little bit. One more rite of parenthood that we will partake in.
