Many mothers from my age saved their children's hair from the first haircut and also their baby teeth but moms today have started a new trend that seems a bit odd to me for a couple of reasons. They are saving their babies umbilical cords and making them into art by spelling out "love" or making a heart sign and who knows what else? First off that seems a little on the creepy side to me but maybe I'm just being old fashioned? but the second reason is if they want to save the cord that connected them to their offspring in the womb why not let it be preserved and kept in a way that could benefit the child in the future if needed to grow stem cells? I know there is still controversy about the whole stem cell thing but on the off chance that it could be used to save a life instead of made into questionable "art" I would think the mothers would opt for a possible cure rather than a future eyesore or in some cases a decomposing cord kept in a brine solution.
