Ben's Hernia

We noticed Ben's belly button was very puffed out last night...not just a little puffed out, it was blown up like a balloon. It seemed to inflate when he cried. It made us a little nervous so this morning we took him in to see the Doctor. She was able to tell what it was right away..... he has a hernia. His muscles underneath his belly button did not grow together so he has a hole under his belly button. No need for concern, it does not bother him and the Doctor said it will likely self correct in the next year...but in the meantime he has a puffed out belly button when he cries. We are learning new things everyday!
