Clicky: Cord stump?

[blackbird]

Is this a thing (like first curl, tooth, etc)? I have no clue.

Plus I think we need for clicky polls here.

I didn't keep W's. It ripped off while he was bf and it was traumatic for us both.

DH and I talked about this because I have friends who kept their kid's but we just threw it away. We decided we would keep the first lost tooth and that's it.

I didn't keep the stump for either kid. It never dawned on me to and both times they fell off, I couldn't find them immediately. Either they fell off in clothes or onto the floor and wasn't located for days.

I don't know what happened to K's it was there one day and then gone at the next diaper change no clue where it went...

I do have her umbilical cord dried though. Not on purpose, but it was in with the placenta and the doula dried it for us. It kinda grosses me out but I feel weird throwing it away. I need to get a little non-see-through envelope and put it in the baby book.

No thanks, I'm good.

With C I was still using disposables so I tossed it with the diaper with A I didn't know what to do with it since cloth and I didn't have a diaper to throw away so I flushed it. Super gross.

LO's is sitting in a little dish on the changing table. It's tiny and didn't smell of anything when it fell off. I should probably throw it out, but I can't bring myself to do it.

This is me exactly.

A's went right in the garbage. There are plenty of other keepsakes that don't gross me out as much!

J's went in the garbage. It smelled. I'll save other things - like a lock of hair from the first haircut.

It's still sitting on his dresser. It's been 6 wks, so I guess I can keep it.

Same here.

Special snowflake here. When I realized that J had finally lost hers, I searched for it, and I found it in one of the feet of the outfit I took off of her. I made sure to save it to show DH when he got home (because I wasn't sure he'd notice it was gone if he changed her diaper). The following day I realized we still had it and asked him if he wanted to keep it since I had mixed feelings on it. He gave me a funny look and said "no." It was exactly what I needed to hear, and I threw it away.

Nope nope nope nope.

[sctiger]

No, tossed it along with the diaper when it came out!

[katespade]

Ours went missing after it fell off. I'm sort of having feelings about it but it is what it is!
