Em's Tree
Those of you who know my weirdness probably know that i like to plant a tree with my baby's placenta. we did it for Isa so i was determined to do is for Em as well. we planted Isa's when she was about a week old. it took us a bit long for Em (she is almost 10 months) but in the end we did it. it took several days to do because there is only one spot of sunshine in my parent's yard because of all the trees. the only problem was that there was a very old strong bush/tree there that i had to move. it was also on a hill. shoveling on a hill is harder then i anticipated but i did it. we also moved isa's tree so it could be in the sun spot as well. a lot of work but worth it.

Well, placed warning. But seriously... I'm curious to see the other comments on the last picture.
nice tree. I really like the second picture of you all.
It looks freezer burned...
What kind of tree did you choose?
we chose a plum tree. it matched the color scheme, wouldn't get to big and the up side was the yummy fruit.
the freezer burned looking part is the umbilical cord.
i didn't realize that in order to comment you kind of have to look at the placenta. sorry.
I'm mostly curious where the idea to do this came from. Sounds similar to an Aboriginal ritual.
Glad I just finished lunch, mmm!
p.s. I was wondering why you'd saved the placenta (I recall a facebook status update about someone getting into the freezer thinking it was something else...hahaha.)
yeah my sister found it and almost defrosted it.
i got it from my mom. i don't know where she got it though. i have heard of african tribes that do it though.
You're a nut, but we miss you. Thanks for that disturbing picture, it just reminded me of old times with you guys:)
Those are great pictures of your family! Its nice to see all of you together! We miss you!!
