Nicholas saw the doctor today and now weighs 13 pounds. His belly-button is not healing to our pediatrician's satisfaction, so Nicholas needs to see another doctor tomorrow. There is a chance he will have to undergo a minor procedure to remove a piece of his belly button that is protruding too far. We'll post the results as we know more.

Nicholas had his first surgical procedure yesterday, and he is fine. They removed the bulging piece in his belly button and the prognisis is good. We'll know later whether he will require more surgery for the belly-button hernia they think he may have. Apparently, some children outgrow it and don't require surgery.
