afterbirth....

ok, so one of the things i just found out about my place of employment is this: we officially register homebirths...which means that we must certify that a baby has actually been born with some sort of proof...like a baby....seems a couple who recently gave birth at home were taking no chances on the proof thing...they took the trouble of freezing the placenta...and went so far as to offer to bring it on in for show-and-tell with the clerk involved. She understandably declined.
