After Sugar Bear's homebirth, my wonderful midwife stored the placenta and cord in a freezer bag covered in foil in my freezer. A few days before his birthday, we acquired a young magnolia tree to plant on top of it.
On his birthday, we all gathered to look at his placenta and plant it below the magnolia tree. In hindsight, I wish that I had thawed the placenta so that I could have really looked at it. It was a beautiful experience, and today, almost 2 years later, he calls it his tree.
Three days after his birthday is Rainbow Girl's birthday. We planted a tree for her as well, a cherry tree.
