haha awesome!

I just read an article about a study done at John Hopkins, and apparently it is true in most cases that if you have a ton of heartburn while pregnant, you can expect a baby with thick, more than average, hair! Thank God that all this heartburn isn't for nothing!

I read that one of the hormones responsible for the baby's hair growth also contributes to heart burn. Score one for the old wives tales ;)

Told you! Rofl When my 2 yr old was born he had reddish hair like his Dad. And he never lost it like what people said he would. But its more of a light brown now. Hes not had a full hair cut either except his bangs because his hair is so adorable and he looks cute with it no matter what anyone says lol

My daughter had a full head of hair, but my heartburn wasn't bad. She was 9 days over due, which might have a lot to do with it.
