Well Carol, I guess I beat that- though it wasn't planned that way. We planted
a tree for each of our children over their placentas, but when #5 was born,
there wasn't any more room in our yard!!! #5 (Cameron) is now going on 8, the
oldest is in college, and my husband still threatens to cook Cameron's frozen
placenta on the grill by accident and serve it to the oldest's college
buddies. Needless to say, the oldest is disgusted, but he does mention to
special people that his placenta is under his tree.(with a sheepish smile, and
a comment that his mom is kinda "earthy-crunchy")
soooo...7+years is my record- maybe this spring we will find room :-)
