I think if we were meant to keep it, it wouldn't fall off!

You know my DH left it on the changing table because he thought I would want to keep it...
I just kept thinking of Meet The Fockers, when they dropped it in the fondue Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

IMO, not a big saving need for me...

Oh boy, I never even heard about people saving it! So, no, I did not; in fact, I never even saw it...my SIL got the lucky diaper change and just threw it right out.

Re: Umbilical Stump... did you keep it?

Yes...In a zip lock bag in her memory box...I couldnt wait for it to fall off and when it did I felt bad throwing it away like it was our last connection....weird I know and I am sure she will say"Yeuch mom you are a weirdo" when she is older...if she wants to throw it away then she can...

No! It never even crossed my mind.

Actually my husband throw it out - before I even saw it.

I was kinda ticked off - because I wanted to see the darn thing Chat Icon but never even dreamed of keeping it.

EEWWWw - I am 11 years older than my sister and I remember when hers came out - I was sentimental too, and thought - what if I kept it, but was so grossed out at the thought... mom didnt think twice - in the garbage it went!

We kept it. Just put in a zip lock baggie and away for "keepsake" I guess. I know my Mom had saved all of ours, so thought we would do the same Chat Icon

EWWW no. Keep a piece of rotting human flesh stored somewhere? Um, no thanks. His belly button is reminder enough for me.

Re: Umbilical Stump... did you keep it?

Wow, I can't believe how many people said they kept it! There's no way I'd keep it - I thought that thing was gross Chat Icon
But all of a sudden it wasn't there anymore, so I asked DH if he saw it and he said no. I thought maybe the dog ate it. Then one day I was cleaning and found it in between the sofa cushions Chat Icon
