So we were worried for nothing. The doctor thinks Olivia's belly button/umbilical cord area is fine. She thinks it will fall off in a day or two also. It is just bloody and kind of gross right now. I am kind of hoping that it falls off today, so I can give Olivia a bath and scrub the area good!
We also asked the doctor about Olivia's left eye. It seems mattery all the time. She told us to wipe it with a warm washcloth and that if it is still mattery next week that she could prescribe some drops for Olivia's eye. That could be fun!
She also got her weight checked yesterday while we were at the doctor's office. She is at 6 lbs. 14 oz. and so that means she has regained her birth weight plus a little more.
Olivia also did better sleeping last night. We went to bed at 10 p.m. and she woke up at 10:30 p.m., but was back to sleep by 11 p.m. Then she slept until 3:30-3:45 a.m. Terry changed her pants and I fed her. She went right back to sleep. Then she woke up again at 6:15 a.m. She stayed awake until the girls left at 7:50 a.m. for school and is sleeping again now. Hopefully Terry and I can eat breakfast and I can shower before she wakes up again!

Sounds like you find yourself coming and going! Need to find some time to rest in there. Glad to hear the doctor visit came out ok too. Hope the sleeping schedule improves and she gets on a schedule soon. I had a friend who would wipe her daughters face with a cold washcloth to keep her awake when she'd fall asleep and get off her schedule.
So happy for DeAnn to have her little boy now, she was so ready to deliver!
Take Care.
