The placenta







After the umbilical cord was cut, I was helped out of the birthing tub to deliver the placenta. Since I had a home birth, I was given the option to keep my placenta. Why the hell would you want to keep your placenta, you ask? Well, apparently there a lot of things you can do with it. You can make a soup with it and eat it, you can plant it under a tree for nourishment, you can grill it (haha, that last one was a joke). Anyhow, I decided that I wanted to plant it under the apricot tree so that next season, everyone can share in the "fruit of my labor". I bet they are gonna be the biggest, juiciest, apricots in AZ! Now I am sure that you are beside yourself hoping that you get a chance to have apricots from my tree, so go ahead and email your pre-order. Mr. B was such a nice guy to dig the hole for me. He is the best!

That's both disturbing and interesting at the same time.
