To Save or Not to Save

The umbilical cord stump that is.

Henry's cord fell off 2 nights ago while Daddy was changing what had to have been something like poopy diaper #11.  He walked back in with a big grin and a half naked baby who was clearly missing his cord!  On one hand I am thrilled we no longer have to awkwardly fold down the front of his sensitive swaddler diaper, but on the other hand we now have a little brown stump sitting on our changing table and I don't know what to do with it. Throwing it away seems wrong.  Saving it seems kind of gross.  What is protocol?
