Frowny Face Belly Button


So last Thursday, Jamey underwent surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. On Friday, as I was unpacking the dressings, etc - and we finally saw the scar, he remarked "I have a frowny face belly button now!" The scar follows along the top of his belly button and does curve downward, like a frown. (I guess I was a little too taken aback by the big red raw scar to think of what it reminded me of) Jamey is recovering well - it is quite painful and he is enjoying his time on the Vicodin. :) Every day does get a little better for him. It is hard for both him and Mackenzie, as she is over the 10 lb weight limit for lifting for him....but she doesn't understand why he won't pick her up when she is asking him to hold her. This weekend, we remarked that we do make quite the gimpy pair currently - lots of tylenol and ice bags being currently used at our house!! Good thing Mackenzie is too little to know how vulnerable we are and take advantage! Picture is not directly related to the post or even current - but it is one of my favorites of her pouty, frowny face @ 3 months old! (funny to note that she is sitting in her Bumbo chair in the pic and she currently LOVES to sit in it when we visit Mat & Sarah - as it is now there for Parker!)
