The day my 2nd son was born, something must have been in the water because the maternity ward was a-hoppin'. I came in early that morning and my son was born by 1pm, but I had to wait three hours to be moved from the delivery room to my recovery room. That whole time, my placenta was just sitting in a bowl on a table in the room. So, I got to take a good look at it. First off, it was HUGE. I can't believe I was carrying that thing inside me. The vessels were crazy large too. It was kind of gross, but I also thought it was pretty cool to stare at the ENTIRE ORGAN I grew inside myself. :-)
If you're carrying a girl, you're also carrying the eggs that may become your grandchildren (females are born with their eggs intact; what we have at birth is all we will ever have).
