Welcome to Manic Monday Edition #10:branch
The “Cruise-thing” made the front pages by joking that he was going to eat the placenta when his fiancee gave birth.I think it´s simply gross (both *LOL*) - to me eating a placenta seems to be akin to cannibalism. You wouldn´t eat a human stomach or intestines, so why eat another part of the body? However, each to their own.
In some parts of Europe, including Germany, we belief that the placenta is part of the child. There is a tradition that says the placenta should be planted with a tree, which would then grow alongside the child.
Above you´re having a (closer) look at Luis almond tree. We planted the tree after we came home from hospital. =)
A few weeks ago I posted some abstract mathematics - a picture of my huge pregnancy belly shortly before Luis was born, a picture of Luis about half an hour after I gave birth to him and the a picture of my empty belly today:
Mo, my good friend and our brilliant host of Manic Monday at It´s A Blog Eat Blog World , commented asking two questions:
So, you´re saying you´re empty now?
Does that mean another little sib for Luis is on the way???
Well, not yet. But Mo´s got the sixth sense: We hope to be in need of a branch of Luis´ almond tree soon. 
We don´t pressurize us (making love according to ovualation schedule, etc.) but we wish to *Mmmmh* - let´s say: “dibble” another branch of us *giggle*, a little sibling for Luis.We´ve been to a medieval festival today. It was great fun, especially the wine tasting. We´ve purchased a huge stein of so called “Liebes-Elixir” (Love-Elixir)… nice to drink. I´ve had a sip at tonight´s dinner… and Frank had a sip, too. It´s 1:25 am in my part of the world… *bing* abrilliant idea comes to my mind: We´re off to “dibble” right now =)
xoXOxo,
And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:
Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don’t show up tomorrow don’t bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.

Are you addicted to caffeine...?
Must have worked since you are growing that little one for Luis right now. What an excellent choice Sanni. Have a great day. :)
