I saved it because my parents saved mine. Don't really know what I'll do with it, probably keep it with the rest of his stuff.

I'm tossing it. I actually have to take Claire in to the dr this afternoon because hers started to stink last night and I'm afraid it's infected. I did keep and dry her umbilical cord

I tried to make it into a heart....


but it ended up looking like a dead worm...

Looks like placenta.


And I tossed his cord stump. Hospital didn't really give me a chance to say whether I wanted his placenta or cord

I'm really confused here. Did you bake your baby's placenta? Did you eat it?

I'm all about sentimental stuff and keeping mementos, but it grosses me out that I have to deal with the little stump until it falls off, so it'll get tossed as soon as it falls off. I don't even want to touch it to throw it away...

I felt the same way. I knew other people kept it, but was grossed out by it. Then, when it fell of yesterday, I just couldn't bring myself to toss it. So, now I'm awkwardly holding on to it until I figure out what to do. Rather keep it for a bit and not want it than toss is and be sad it's gone forever. I have NO clue why I don't feel ready to toss it. Truly. lol
