New Ultrasound Images

Tomorrow, Lindsey will be 22 weeks pregnant with Luke. According to my weekly email from babycenter.com, he is about 11 inches long and he weighs almost a pound. The email is also telling me that all of his facial features, including his eyelids, eyebrows and lips are starting to become more distinct.

I can't wait to see this little guy! Is he going to have fair skin like his mom, dark skin like me, or a mix of the two? Will he have brown eyes, or blue, maybe green? More than likely he'll have brown. I remember my genes lesson from back in high school. The blue eye gene that Lindsey carries, is two recessive genes. My brown eye gene is either one recessive blue and a dominant brown, or just two dominant browns. If I carry two dominant browns, then our baby will have brown eyes and carry a recessive blue. But if I carry a recessive blue, then there is a chance that he'll have blue eyes. My dad tells me that his grandfather had blue eyes. So ya never know. Whatever color Luke's eyes are will be perfect. What color of hair will he have? Will it be black like mine, or will he have lighter hair like Lindsey's? Will he have curly hair? I'm  thinking there's a good chance of him having curly hair. Will he have my nose, or Lindsey's nose? Will he have my ears or Lindsey's ears? Will he be left handed like Lindsey, or right handed like me? I hope he's left handed. I just want him to be a healthy baby. That is my prayer. Everything else will be a surprise, and it will be perfect. He's my son and I'm already excited to see his little face. These ultrasound photos are really neat, but I'm sure it's not even close to what we'll experience as parents when we see him in person. I'm excited. I hope I'm a good dad.

Here are the ultrasound images from our last appointment. He looks a bit cranky in some of them.
