A very bizarre thing has just happened - Jamie's clothes peg has vanished.
As you'll no doubt know, the hospital sticks a little clampy thing that looks like a clothes peg (and maybe even is a clothes peg) on to the stump of the baby's umblical cord just after he's born. Then, at some point over the next couple of weeks, the clampy thing and the remants of the cord drop off and baby is left with a brand new belly button.
Apparently the stumpy thing stinks to high heaven when it comes away and the advice is to get it out of the house and under a tree or something as quickly as you can. Indeed, Vanessa and I were talking about where we might put it only a couple of days ago.
However, it looks like we won't have a decision to make after all as both the stumpy thing and the clampy thing have disappeared!
I discovered this very strange development just a few minutes ago whilst changing Jamie's nappy; there's simply nothing there.
I even rumaged around inside his nappy but found nothing other than, well, you know, stinky stuff. Very odd.
So if you do come across a stumpy thing attached to a clampy thing on your travels today, Jamie would quite like them back for burial.
In the meantime, the big news on the belly button front is that Jamie appears to have an outie.
