Whoops!

Everyone warned me it would happen and it did last night,,,Georgia's button popped right out of her belly. She was sick all night with a little head cold so she was in and out of bed. Well at one point at four in the morning I realize she's soaked. I open her Jammie's and, yup, panic!!!  Her button has ripped out. It doesn't break skin, but that  hole is like a piercing it closes and it closes FAST!  You have to get it redialated if its out for more than a couple hours. Needless to say I was freaking out hoping I wouldn't have to make a trip to the hospital. I go to push it in and it's tight, way to tight to push in. She's screaming as I'm shoving this button back in her tummy and its just not going in. Finally, I remember what one of my new best friends told me about putting in buttons, that its easier if you shove it down with a q tip. I run and get one, put a glob of ky jelly and pop, it went back in. I picked up my screaming baby, and remember when I used to ask the nicu nurses how they inflicted pain on little babies. They said they could because they knew it was for their good. That sunk in for me last night. Didn't want this little one back in the hospital and I just did what needed to be done even though it sucked doing that to her. I told her nurse today and she said I did the right thing and we both laughed at how far I'd come from freaking out through her first button change that she ended up having to finish for me. Ugh, my friend I mentioned above told me it happened to her daughter three times this week, I better get used to it ;).
