My precious thing is a clamp. Although you'll think that is just a very common clamp, but it is very important and meaningful for me. It is a umbilical cord clamp, which use to clamped the umbilical cord after it snipped. As you know, the birth cord supplies nutrients and oxygen to the development baby during my pregnancy, it makes me feel very close with my son, because we shared everything together. After my son was born, the birth cord was clamped and cut close to his body and leaving an umbilical stump. After the stump was dry up and drop off, I kept this birth cord clamp as a memorabilia until now. I think I will keep for this clamp as long as I live, and to show to my son when he grows up. Therefore, this is my most meaning and precious thing in my life.

I love this symbol, and I never had this idea to save this clip of the third birth of my kids.
Karen! I had no idea you could keep those -- did you get it from the hospital? I think my midwife just threw it away in the garbage after my sons were born.
This is a great idea. I wish I had known this idea before my daughter borned.
Yes, I got that clip from the Hinsdale Hospital. My obstetrician and all the midwife in there are nice and attentive. They kept all the stuff of my son for my memory.
