hehe - I held on to my older daughter's for 20 years. (Was I saving it to show her prospective suitors? NOOO!) After that point, I lost track of it, but I'm sure I'll find it tucked away in a drawer somewhere someday. We mothers are a sentimental lot. And just a little bit wierd.
You guys all kept your kid's umbilical cord ends? I thought that was just a bad joke in a bad movie ... Blech. (I might still have a positive pregnancy test lying around, though, and I peed on that, so, um ...)
I could have sworn I saved one of those, but looking at that photo makes me rethink. I probably just pretended to keep it in my sentimental mind. The strange thing (in this conversation there are many), is that I have no recollection of what I did with baby number 2 and 3 stumpies. Shouldn't I at least remember throwing them away?
I saved my son's!!! Still got it in a ziploc baggie. But I capitulated to family opinion and tossed my daughter's. I'm sure she'll regret that terribly. :-)
It made me so happy to see this post. Makes me feel a little less like I'm going to end up on an episode of "Hoarders." I think I'm going to show my husband to prove that I am not the only person who saved it!
It is 6am, I'm sitting down at the computer with my lovely cup of coffee and the first thing I come across is this???!!! Vies! ;-) (= Dutch for gross)
ReplyDeletefunny - i think i finally gave mine up!

ReplyDeleteLearn from this my dear!
ReplyDeleteyou're not alone. i still have that thing, too. :)
ReplyDeleteEwwwww! But no less than I have come to expect from someone who posts photos of her daughter's first vomit ;)

Hilarious, I remember considering saving Jude's, now I'm glad I chucked it, after all I couldn't wait for it to fall off!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Jeffrey's is tucked away still, after 24 years! Call me what you will...
ReplyDeleteI love you. And ditto.
ReplyDeleteand now you get another one to save and gross people out with!
ReplyDeleteain't life grand!
p.s. I also saved mine from y oldest until Brad made me throw it out. What a jerk.
This just made me laugh out loud. I, too, have my daughter's 2.5 year old cord in a little baggie in a box in her room. SO funny. I cannot let go.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to keep my child's but hubbie was totally grossed out!!
