Baby Blues

Funny story . . .

Before Rob and I got married, I became resigned to the fact that I would never have a kid with blue eyes. After Guy's eyes, I was more than okay with that (I love his eyes). Even when I was pregnant with Cooper, I told a couple of people that I'd never have a kid with blue eyes, my only hope was for blue eyes grandkids. My sister, Eden, kept telling me that wasn't true.

Turns out, Eden's right. So far. And yes, I still have to have that little disclaimer just because I'm still not ready to believe they'll stay (that's me, trying to not set myself up for disappointment). My mom was actually the first one to say they could be blue - when he was born, they were gray. I was thinking hazel at that point.

These 9 weeks, I've become more and more hopeful that they stay, and now I think it would be a cruel trick if they changed.

Eliza's were really, really blue at this age. They are now green hazel. They did not settle into what I'd even call a semipermanent color until she was at least a year. I think Eliza's will continue to change (mine do). Maybe he will be the same?

They are beautiful!

(But Amanda's eyes were blue until she was older than a year. Now they're hazel.)

My kids eyes all started out very blue and then turned green. You never know. Either way, they sure are cute :)
