The Eyes Have It

The other day, a lovely soon-to-be-mommy from The Bump posted a website that can help you figure out what the odds of your baby having blue, green or brown eyes will be.

It was really interesting to take, and the results were pretty much what I was expecting.

10.0% chance of blue eyes - fairly rare, however C's mom has baby blues, as does his brother and my brother

23.3% chance of green eyes - again, pretty rare, but we would absolutely be thrilled if Bug has green eyes...like his Daddy!

66.6% chance of big brown eyes - he's going to be a Momma's boy for sure!

Those eyes that we will very soon be falling in love with have their pigment now, and by the end of the week he should have a full(ish) head of hair. My fingers are still crossed for blonde curls, but we shall see! He's still trying to pack on the pounds, and will gain about a third of his body weight between now and when he's born. For every 1lb I gain, half goes to e and half to Bug. I can live with that considering I've only gained a total of 6 lbs! He's certainly taking up alot of space right now, and we can see him squirming and rolling over all of the time.

It's crazy to think that we're only 5 weeks away fro being considered full term. 5 Weeks...5. This could happen at any moment! I'm starting to feel really tired from the simplest of tasks (I actually had to take a couple of bench-breaks yesterday while shopping!) and I'm getting a little anxious about becoming a mom. Not about the practical, everyday duties like diapering and feeding or the emotional side of it, but more the "how many layers do I dress him in today?" and "is it better to do this or to do that?" I know that it will come with experience, but there's a tiny bit of anxiousness in my tummy when I think about the little things.


And here's your "Bare Belly Ahead!" warning!

From the front...I think my belly button might pop out soon!
