We hit two fun milestones this morning. Sometime between Ethan's 5am and 8am diaper change his umbilical cord stump fell out! So fun to see his little belly button - it's an inny! We found the cord this afternoon - can't believe it fell out in only 6 days. We followed the doctor's recommendation to not treat in with rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm. Really nice to have one less thing to worry about during diaper changes and now he can get lots of belly kisses!
Brian gave little man his first bath this morning so he was all set to model at his photo shoot. It was a quick one since we were running late but Ethan did really well - barely cried.
It was a long but fun afternoon. The studio was about an hour drive each way and we were there for 3+ hours. Angela was fantastic - such a sweetheart and so good with newborns. We took a few family photos first and Ethan was wide awake and making all sorts of faces. Then it was time for him to fall sleep so she could get all of the fun bendy newborn poses. While he sleeps all the time at home, no such luck - he was just chillen with his eyes open despite the heaters keeping the studio toasty, the white noise machine, a full belly, and lots of rocking. Angela had the patience of a saint and would work with him for 20 minutes just to get one shot, and about 90 minutes in he finally conked out and she was able to get 4 or 5 more adorable poses in. So excited to see how they turn out!
Unfortunately Brian tweaked his back last night so he is really sore. Hoping it feels better soon - poor guy. So between his back and my recovery mama and papa are a sight for sore eyes, but Ethan is doing wonderfully.
