Heartburn = Hair???

HAHA! I thought this was funny. I have been literally eating tums every night like they are sour candy. I even buy those super-sized bottles from Costco. Oh my. I have had such terrible heartburn with this pregnancy. But i can't seem to stop eating tomatoes and jalapenos, and i will not give up my orange juice. No way! So i have just learned to live with the pain.

My mother tells me (and i dont know how much of this to believe because she is from the dark ages) that... when you have heartburn and you are prego- it means that your baby is going to come out with a head full of hair. So being the techy young lady i am, i asked google (my best friend). I found some information on there that was definitely interesting. I guess i should just trust my fave website babycenter.com. they say that there is a hormone that women produce more of when they are going to have a baby that is going to have a head full of hair. The production of this hormone gives women heartburn... i dunno.

The only thing i know is that my esophagus is on fire most of the day and i'm miserable. I told David if that whole thing about heartburn being a sign of a head of hair is true... then Jayden is going to need his first hair cut as soon as he comes out.

LOL! and no Grandpa, i am not going to gargle with baking soda. i would rather die first.

Oh, so you think I'm from the dark ages!!! Well, Google is from the dark ages too then because it gave you the same info I did!! So, honey, bring your pair of scissors with you (in your overnight bag) to the hospital!! With love from your Mother with the two girls with heads full of hair and one bald, baby boy! Yes, heartburn with both of the girls, and none with Bubby boy!

If he has hair like you did you better buy him a bonnet so the folks in Wal-Mart won't make fun of him and point at him and laugh. Lol. I love you Nana. Big smoochie.

LOL!! Oh what memories!! Grandma would see someone laughing at your hair and she would.....quick....grab the bonnet....and throw it onto your head! Then Grandma would say...It's okay little Gramma's luv luv!! She would feel sorry for you! NOTHING would keep that hair down except for the bonnet!! So....I guess I'll be looking for cute caps for the little guy!

LOL My father in law told me the same thing, except to DRINK baking soda water! Yuck! I was like "No thanks, I'll stick to tums!" Levi was born with quite a bit of hair and I had heartburn, so I guess what they're saying must be true! :o)

I didn't tell you to gargle with it you little lunkhead. I told you to drink it. Takes care of the problem real quick. AND!!! It's not Heartburn. Your heart is located in a different place. It's called Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or more commonly known as GERD. Hope this enlightens you. Love, Papa

Jessica Carnegie said...

Hahaha... Gramps you are hilarious! Breanna has GERD hahaha... tooo funny! :o) Love ya Nana
