We took Miss Marley into the doctor today for the umbilical hernia we noticed just days ago. Doubling its size overnight was very disturbing to us. The doctor measured it and said it was 1 1/2 centimeters wide which is good as long as its under 3. It is a true umbilical hernia, which could heal itself on its own - but could take 4-5 years. If it worsens or seems to be bothering her they might surgically remove it at the age of two. Berkley underwent surgery for this same hernia at the age of two. Its just a day surgery but I can still remember how hard it was on all of us. Hopefully it will close on its own.
On to better news, Miss Marley weighs 8 lbs 15 oz.............................................
