First Bath

On Saturday afternoon, Janie’s umbilical cord stump fell off.  We let it air dry for a couple days and had it checked by the nurse today during our weight check visit.  She said it looked healed and that it was ok to give her a bath.  Yay!

So tonight, we got the bath ready and it was time for a little soak in the warm water.  We had a feeling she wouldn’t like it and we were right.  She cried most of the time but actually calmed for a bit in the middle.

It was a really quick bath and I was surprised we were able to get a few photos taken of the “traumatic” experience.

She stopped crying immediately after she was taken out of the water and wrapped up in her towel.  What a funny girl.

She was also pretty chill while Daddy put on her diaper and PJs.  It was almost time for a feeding so we had to give her a pacifier too, which kept her satisfied until we were finished drying and dressing her.

Here she is about 30 minutes later after getting all cleaned and fed.
