Umbilically stumped, that is! Gabriel’s umbilical cord stump finally dried all the way up and fell off this morning, so his belly button is visible at last.
This raises the question: innie or outie? Vote below; the answer will be revealed soon!

Wow – that was fast with the stump falling off. Stryker’s took 4 weeks to fall off, and when I realized it was gone, I was so surprised that I set him down on the ottoman while I looked for it in my shirt, and he rolled off the ottoman and onto the floor.

It’s very fast thing! Yuzuka took 2 weeks to fall off, and that time I was changing a her diaper.
The umbilical popped when it was fall off.

I remember when my stump fell off…or did I fall off a stump…hmmm. Whichever, it was definitely a memorable moment in my life.
