It's gone...

Little Isaiah lost his belly button stump today. Dave was so happy, saying what a milestone it was, but for me it was bittersweet. Sweet, because he won't be bothered by it anymore, and as soon as the scab totally dries up, we will be able to give him real baths, and not just sponge baths. But a little bit bitter, because the cord was the last physical link between baby and mother! That was the cord that connected us together for 9 months, feeding him oxygen and nourishment until the day he was born. It's all happening so fast! My Peanut will never be 9 days old again. He will never be this little again.
