I'd just come out of an emergency section (after 40 hrs of labor and 3 hrs of pushing) and was groggy in the recovery room trying to wrap my head around this motherhood thing when a nurse on the other side of the room called out, loudly, "Whose placenta is this!?"cdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406284020390728464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-13290360138329767422010-09-21T21:39:41.532-04:002010-09-21T21:39:41.532-04:00I love this post!

Just the other day my older three children were giving me a hard time about still having Elle's placenta but I just have not been able to part with it. Can you imagine my kids faces when I not only pull it out of the freezer but make prints from it?! It will be a funny, wonderful project.

When I s...jespren, I would love to do exactly that! When I say burying, I was originally hoping for a fruit tree, but alas, I'm STILL not in anything resembling a permanent or even semi-permanent spot (I have a major move coming up in January). I have to decide whether to try and transport it cross-country, which seems a little extreme. MAN, I would love to, though. <br /><br />HEY! Instead of trying in vain to keep it frozen, maybe I should encapsulate it for practice only, then transport it that way, completely dried, and THEN I can bury it/fertilize something with it. (have I really gone off the deep end now? You can tell me.)<br /><br />Teresa, I really love the idea of a Lily garden! If I have no fruit tree, then that's what I'd like to go for, definitely! I have a bit of a black thumb, to say the least - day lilies are pretty hardy, though, aren't they?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019907275666753543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-21462869025525750592010-09-20T20:34:56.870-04:002010-09-20T20:34:56.870-04:00Bury it and make a Lily garden over it!

Tiger lilies, daylilies, lily-of-the-valley, etc. Get one of those cement stepping stone kits and have your daughter make hand/foot prints with her name on it.

That way you can always have something beautiful/useful that grew from that special connection between you and your child. You could even give her a cutting when she marries or is pregnant with her first. Rosebushes live for decades if well taken care of and if properly trimmed even a usually large tree will stay small enough to fit inside a large pot.jesprenhttp://tigaseren.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-52017712977602899842010-09-19T20:00:25.163-04:002010-09-19T20:00:25.163-04:00yipeeeeee!yipeeeeee!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200907298236442869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-28314665740166594582010-09-19T16:16:22.325-04:002010-09-19T16:16:22.325-04:00Good to know it will work 2 and a half years later...Good to know it will work 2 and a half years later!
