After Darcy was born, Shane made sure to remind the midwife that he wanted nothing to do with the cord. My mom cut Oliver's cord, Marisa cut Lily's. The midwife, unphased, said "Ok, we'll just have Jessica cut it then." I had never considered cutting the cord, but it was a very cool experience! If any of you moms don't have willing volunteers to cut the cord, I highly recommend doing it yourself!
