  you didn't know that the baby's cord has to fall off?

  Actually, to be honest, I had no idea either! I just thought they cut close to the belly. I don't think that's really "common knowledge" - you would have to ask, read about it in a book, or have someone who gave birth tell you this. But this hasn't come up in any conversations with friends of mine! LOL

  Not knowing is one thing, I think - I'm sure I wouldn't know all I do about babies if my mom hadn't had two babies while I was in middle school, but being grossed out by it is another.  I don't know what's going to happen the first time she gets poo or spitup on her... or God forbid, the first time her little boy pees on her face/mouth during a diaper change...

  Are you really that naive? Just wait until you hear about all the other gross stuff (like deliverying the placenta after the baby, bleeding for 2-6 weeks post partum, dealing with baby poop/pee/vomit, etc.).

    Not to mention if you have a boy and have him circumcised.

  You'll pick it up with a tissue, and your baby's belly button will be nice and clean!  (It is a little strange though.)
  

  LOL Or, you could be like 1/2 my friends where the stump fell off and they never saw it fall off or found it! haha. One friend assumed her dog might have eaten it.. now that's gross LOL
  

   

  Hilarious.
