Baths & Belly Buttons

Isabella had her first bath a few weeks ago. We'd waited because her belly button was taking awhile to heal, we now know why. So far, Isabella hates having her hair and body washed, but she LOVES to have the water poured all over her. And the reason her belly button is taking forever to heal: she has a condition called an umbilical hernia. Basically, there's a hole in the abdominal wall, where her BB is, that hasn't closed correctly, yet. However, it could take up to one year or 'til the age of five. If it does not correct on its own, which it most likely will, she will have to undergo minor surgery when she's a year, which the pedi suggests. So, we're hoping it goes away before she's a year and we won't have to deal with it. We'll see.
