The sappy post...

So, physically there are some differences...

We've arrived at week 25, and a lot of time has been sent speculating what this baby is going to look like when she comes out. As I'm sure you may have noticed, Jeff and I have a lot of physical differences. As for our personalities, there are some things we share, and other facets of our being that make us individuals.

While of course we want our baby to be her own little person, there are a few things that I hope she will have that we can pass down, both physically and otherwise.

We'll love her no matter who she grows up to be, but it will be fun to look back and see what she took from each of us.

It'd be neat if she got:

Beautiful eyes that everyone comments on
Carmel skin that allows him to actually go outside in the sun without burning
Long, luscious eyelashes
Height (unless she's going to be a gymnast!)
Love/understanding of government and politics
Easy-going nature
Calm and collected response in any situation
Whatever it is that makes him not care what others may think
Friendly personality that makes anyone feel comfortable
Tendency to let people know how much he loves them
Affectionate nature
Devotion to hard work

My...
Red hair
Freckles
Sense of humor
Creativity
Love of books and reading
Appreciation for art
Love of movies

Both of our...
Devotion to all things Illini, Cubs and Bears (and Red Wings I suppose)
Sports appreciation
Intelligence
Great taste in TV

Well, it seems that Jeff's list may be a tad longer. Now if I can get him to post on this blog, I'd like to see what his list looks like...
