mommy or daddy?

I have decided that the absolute worst thing a pregnant woman can do is watch A Baby Story on TLC. One, it made me all kinds of emotional today because both episodes were about little boys. Two, it got me thinking way too much about labor- which is something I know is coming, and coming more quickly than I'm really wanting to own up to. But... 


The show has gotten me so ready to see my little boy, to see us in him.

Will he have his daddy's crystal clear blue eyes, or his mommy's dirty gray-blue?
Will he have his mommy's porcelain complexion or his daddy's darker olive tint?
Will his mouth turn up like his daddy's in a quirky smile, or turn down like mommy's?
Will he have mommy's five-head or daddy's forehead?
Will he have his mommy and great-grandpa's curly hair, or his daddy's stick straight?
Will he have his daddy's platinum blonde baby tint, or his mommy's basic blonde?
Will he be left handed like daddy or right handed like mommy?
Will he have a mole like mommy or be... orange like daddy?
Will he have his mommy and daddy's long, skinny fingers?


There are a million things I'm ready to know about him. 
Somebody remind me to revisit these questions in August, after he's made his entrance.
