kcobwebSo we were talking in a desultory way this morning about what the Electric Baby might look like.
It's nearly a lock that she will have blue eyes, because we both do (and our parents, etc. etc.). (And actually, most Caucasian babies are born with blue or blue-grey eyes, which then take a few months to settle to their eventual destined color.)

galagan thinks she'll have brown hair, but I think it will start out blond, or perhaps reddish. (His nephew has strawberry-blond hair, and apparently galagan's father did too. I have dyed red hair :), but I do have natural red highlights, plus some reddish hair and/or highlights pop up in other family members too. So - she won't ever be bright bright red, but she could be auburn.) And I'm reasonably sure she'll be born with hair too - I was born with a full head's worth myself (we're not sure about galagan and his baby pics are gone).
But then - who might she looks like in terms of facial features? I have some strong familial trends on my side, and he does too.... His comment: "Well, no matter what, she will have a big nose." A pause "I'm afraid she might not end up too attractive." --I demurred, at which point he asked me for examples of beautiful women with big noses. Any suggestions?
(I'm not really worried about this - of course she'll be beautiful anyway, no matter what nose - but it was an interesting question, and I thought some of you might have good answers.)
In other news, I feel much better and more prepared, because we actually bought a carseat (an essential item to have BEFORE she is born so that it's ready to go) - and got our registry taken care of. Whew! Now I can relax a tiny bit and not fret so much about my general level of unpreparedness.
