Guess what I lost...

Yesterday Brady lost his umbilical cord. I went to change him and noticed something was missing. I didn't see it right away in his sleeper, but later Grandma Enders found it in his sleep sac, it slipped through his buttons and fell out. It sounds gross, but we decided to keep it. We put it in a plastic baggy and put it in his baby book. When he gets older he might really think we fell off the deep end. Now we're just waiting for his wounds to heal from his circumcision and he'll be a much happier baby. He goes back to the doc on Tuesday and will have it looked at then to make sure it's healing well.

Interesting that you kept it. The traditional people in Navajo culture (i.e. my parents)take the "piece" and bury it or place it somewhere for their child. Kinda like good luck... to be a great rancher, farmer or in any other area they would like their children to be successful...

That is so cool, thank you for sharing...I hope his cord brings him much luck and success so he can take care of me when he's older :-)...also THANK YOU so much for the card and gift card, you and Sheryl are too sweet. Hopefully we'll get to see you guys soon. We love and miss you guys.
