Sometimes I get cheesed with God's lotion (vernix) when we plop the babe up onto the mommy's chest. It never gets old... And when I snuggle the newly born babies in the nursery after their first bath... I always inhale the smell of their head... it has a sweet and bitter smell... but so familiar. <br /><br />Happy Birth DayTaking Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582706569774851613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237529515432696063.post-38286954498816672192010-03-28T17:57:22.012-07:002010-03-28T17:57:22.012-07:00ooh..

About two weeks after the birth I had taken it out for my midwife to look at (for funzies) and the smell just hit me. I'm sure to anybody else it would have been nasty -- the smell of blood. To me, I loved the smell of it. It was just this "birthy" smell and just SO reminded me of all their births combined. That same smell. <br />Roan I remember smelled like sweet buttermilk. Little Willem was a bit stinky, and I don't know why. I bathed him that next day (Roan after a week). Trillian just had her own sweet little smell. Yet smelling the placenta brings me right back to when they were all born. I love it.<br />I hope the smell lasts in your head forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
