genes

If I can even make such a judgement yet – the nose looks like mine, the mouth & cheeks look like Chris’s.

Guess we have awhile to wait yet, to see if he has blue or green eyes. (Something I picked up in high school biology.  Blue & Green are recessive genes, and since Chris has green and I have blue, Nugget can’t possibly have brown eyes.)  I’m hoping for green.  I’ve always had a thing for green eyes.

Today we went to one of those ultrasound places and paid for more pictures – and a DVD! – of Nugget.  Just cause, ya know, we wanted to see him again.

As you can see, the 4D pictures are… neat, but kinda weird & creepy, no?  I’m pretty sure he has my nose & Chris’s mouth.

Oh, he has Chris’s mouth, alright – we watched him move around, open his mouth, and try to eat his hand.  There was a  lot of mouth opening.  I’ll bet anything he’ll be in there talking to himself for the next 3 months.  Talking to himself and just making lots of noise in general.  Cause he’s his father’s son.

appointments

Inquiring minds want to know: next appointment is Tuesday, August 11.  Nothing special, though, just a regular check-up.

We’re contemplating going to one of those ultrasound shops where you pay $50 for more ultrasounds, just to have.  (Now, THERE’S a racket, huh?  People will pay anything when it comes to their kids.)  You have a couple ultrasound appointments, then start to feel a little ripped off during non ultrasound appointments at the doctor when all they do is say, “How are you feeling?  Good?  Good.  See you in 4 weeks.”  That’s IT?  Pictures, please!  We want to see him bouncing around!

ultrasound from awhile ago

nugget

Already confirmed a few weeks ago – I was so sure it was a girl, but lo and behold! it’s a boy!

Did you know that boys’ names are nearly IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE?  I always thought I wanted to name a boy Max, however, Mr Nikki doesn’t seem too keen on it.  To be honest, now that I have the chance, I don’t know how keen I am, either.

Other names in consideration:

Oliver (Mr Nikki seems sold on this one)
Felix (just thought of this one last night, we both like it)
Chase

I like the names Lukas (pronounced in the Czech way – as Loo-kash), Jakub (also Czech – yah-koob) and Luka.  Mr Nikki immediately started singing something about living on the second floor, when I mentioned Luka.  Of course.

I do like Oliver because “Oliver Craig” has a nice ring to it.  I’ve long since wanted to use my dad’s name as a middle name, if I ever had a boy.
