And can we talk about what the miracle of the belly button? Both my kids had belly buttons before we met, so I've never watched that transformation. T's stump kind of scared me when she first was born. It was black and had a weird texture. That clamp looked fierce, and I didn't know what to do with the top edge of her diapers when I changed her.
Now she has the most beautiful little navel. It's amazing to me that belly buttons simply right themselves over time.
Lots of things work out unto good when we give them enough time, light, and air.
Something I need to remember.

And what better symbol to help with remembering. So glad you're getting to see life through the new life that is your granddaughter.
We all do.

I have always been teased for keeping the scriveled up little nuggets of embilical cords that feel off my two babies belly buttons. 30 years ago there was a heavy onus about taking good care of it. And I did, so I certainly wanted to save the evidence.
Did I ever mention HT's fear of belly buttons?
OHHHH! looks like I finally made it back in close proximity to your becoming a grandmother. Yes they do. So happy for you.
What a sweet, sweet post! I'm thinking some day T will want to have this story for her very own.
And I'm with HT - belly buttons give me the willies!
