HUMAN PLACENTA- TREE OF LIFE

We haven't done the painted one yet... We have the placenta in the freezer just waiter. We forgot to buy a roll brush and simply haven't had the time to go to the store yet. Hope to do it this Thursday.. But that's high hopes, ha.

Tuesday the 26th our son & I have a check up here at home with the midwife, our 2nd check up. The first one was 3 days postpartum and was fabulous! After our checkup I am about 99.9% sure we'll get in an update, labor story, and meeting the new little addition! :)

I apologize it's been 'forever' but I do have to allow my body time to recover for one, and as any new Mom knows getting showers aren't at the top of the priority list... lol I've been lucky enough to get three in the last week, but only had the energy ONCE of those three times to get "ready" with doing my hair/make-up, which I plan to do on Tuesday. Plus it's impossible to do a video with two little ones at the ages they are. Jacelyn is just too intrigued by her little brother and doesn't exactly know (or perhaps she does and is just being defiant) the word gentle just yet.... So I have always have to keep and eye on her and be with in an arms reach of her when she's around him. Tuesday hubby will be home (from work) so I plan to take advantage by showering and getting ready to just feel better about my self while going through the postpartum initial stage.

I just did prints and and currently dryng the placenta in my oven to put into capsules.

mines still in my freezer. did u use color 4 ur prints? we never did, we put it in the freezer 4 another day, which that 'another day' has yet to happen. is it still good to do prints w/ after 6 1/2 months?

@xxxjoelpolexxx

We just used 'natures dye' for the prints (blood) and water colour paper.

6 1/2 months is fine for prints! I just put a mama placenta n the oven to encapsulate for medicinal uses at 6 months (but it was in a deep freeze, not a regular freezer). 2-3 months in a regular freezer is fine for ingesting.

Yah we used the blood 4 the only 1 we did, but i'd like 2 use brown/green 4 another 1.

Lucy, don't worry about getting up a video about your delivery. YOU'RE the one who had the baby, after all! You definitely deserve some time off from making videos. You'll get it up when you get it up.

thats cool your husband helped and wasn't grossed out by it, some guys wouldnt go near it let alone touch it!!! its really interesting though, i've never seen a placenta close up

[sassycatdarn890]

Thats cool you did it ! Good for you.. hope you dont mind but i couldnt watch after a certain point i have a weak stomach. :(

[mrsgalland]

ok i don't understand...what exaclty are you guys doing here? and what is all that painting thing you talk about? I've never heard about it! I guess you do learn something new everyday! now I'm curious

@xxxjoelpolexxx

I would use tempra paints (like kids paints) to you can try a few diff colours until you get the look you'd like. Adding more water to thin it out to pick up the lines.

You could also use ink, though more expensive, has very pretty results.

Yes you can eat it, it's extremely healthy.
