I couldn't decide so I stuck it in an envelope and left it in the bathroom medicine cabinet that we don't open!

I threw it away. But my SIL kept my nephew's in a little silver vial on a necklace. She said it was a cultural thing.

After I freaked out because it fell off while I was holding him(it was kind of hilarious), I(meaning my husband) threw it out!

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.
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.

Took a photo, then threw it out. That made me feel better, we really didn't need to save it.

I put it in an empty medicine bottle (the brown semi-transparent kind). 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.
