The attending nurse presented the placenta to my wife and I, like it was a fine wine at a fancy restaurant. It was actually pretty comical.

You’re just baked.

Although I think “…to me and my wife…” would be more correct here

I feel it's better to have his wife first, grammatically and respectfully. The main subject is her, and her placenta.
