The bottle is in a bag with the hospital bracelets. We can decide later on if we want to throw it out, but I'm not ready to make that decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-cord#post-509230 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:50:44 +0000 78h2o 509230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsInformation: omg! yuck!</p> <p>I thought about saving it for a minute, but decided it was too gross and pitched it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-cord#post-509224 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:43:34 +0000 lemondrop 509224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took a photo, then threw it out. That made me feel better, we really didn't need to save it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-cord#post-509125 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:25:44 +0000 MsInformation 509125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG - after reading this thread, I said to DH, "What did we do with her umbilical cord?" And he looked off into space and said, "Uhhhh..." He remembers putting it into a little Ziploc bag to save, but neither of us know where the bag is! We think it's in DH's office. </p> <p>Here's a story for the ages - DH's mom put his umbilical cord in her purse and carried it around for a while (not sure how long), and one day she peeked in there and it was covered in ants. Seriously. Bleccchhhh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-cord#post-508883 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:14:03 +0000 autumn865 508883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It fell off and got stuck to my DHs shirt. Lol he walked around with it on him all day until he saw it and got grossed out. Lol then It went in the trash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-cord#post-508878 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:07:47 +0000 Amelieisme 508878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: same story here..it was aver found so we figured the dog had a snack.
