Both Emily and Danielle were born at home, and one of the things that we were able to do was to keep their placentas. I wanted to bury them and plant a tree or something special in that spot. After they were born, we put the placenta in the freezer until we were ready to use them.
Emily Rose, we found the perfect pink rose bush that my mom thought would be nice for Emily's placenta. My mom was a little skeptical about the whole thing, but she went along with it, hoping it didn't kill her rose.
Brian is helping to plant the rose.
Today the rose is beautiful
Last Spring, when I was pregnant with Danielle, I saw these beautiful trees blooming on a hill near our house. I knew I must have one for the backyard. They have the most beautiful bright white flowers that change to pink. We figured out they were crab apple trees.
So we found one, picked out a spot in the backyard, and planted it this Spring with Danielle's placenta safely underneath.
It bloomed a couple of weeks after we planted it.
We didn't think about asking for Brian's placenta, but we did plant the beautiful Bradford Pear in the front yard in his honor.
