Dave comes from a family where no two people really look alike. His parents have blue eyes and brown eyes, and are both short. His siblings all look TOTALLY different to me... some have BLACK hair and brown eyes, and some have blonde hair and blue eyes. Facial shapes and features are all different, except I think some of them have the same mouth. You know that if you were to mix a few families up really good and have a stranger place them all in the right household, they could get it mostly right. NOT DAVE'S FAMILY. Because there are 7 kids in his family, I can see how a couple of them kind of fit together, but any stranger would have a really hard time playing the matching game.
My family all looks alike except me! I have posted a few pictures for you so you can see what I am talking about. They ALL have DARK skin, and REALLY DARK hair. Most of my family has blue eyes, and a few have a mish-mash. Somehow, I popped out with BLONDE hair, and GREEN eyes. Here let me show you...
Yes, my hair is highlighted in this picture, but NOT MUCH.
The other thing I think that keeps me wondering the most, is how tall our children will be. Dave is 6'3'' but his parents are 5'6'' and 5'8''. He is BY FAR the tallest in his family. My family either has TALL people or SHORT people. My dad's line is really short, and although this picture doesn't show it, I am actually just barely taller than he is. My mom at her tallest was about 5'10'' which is definitely tall. She comes from a tall line, but I am still much taller than most of my cousins (boys and girls included). So, with three of the four lines feeding into Dave and I being short, what do you think is going to happen?
I am curious as to what you think baby Crockett will look like... this will definitely be a post that I will want to refer back to in a couple of years to see who was closest :)

I tend to think the first kid is a pretty good showing of the gene pool. Here's my guess: dark hair, blue eyes, weighing around what Dave weighed when he was born, and looking more like Melanie than Dave. Alright, the betting's on!
Your baby will look JUST like auntie JENN JENN (or grandma...lets be honest I look just like her). beautiful stunning eyes with a mixture of several colors. Okay seriously i bet you have a fairly fair skinned baby with lighter hair. this will of ccourse be a BEAUTIFUL child...seriously gorgeous. Carson will pick up on some of the gabrielsen features (high cheek bones and big lips). He will be taller....6'2.5 to be exact. He will be lean and very smart. He will play football and be the star quarterback (after his dad). He will also be musicaly inclined. YAY FOR CARSON!!!
Yay for boys! I have no idea what he'll look like! Plus, when Sam was born, we thought he looked like me. Dark hair, dark eyes, etc. Now, he has bleach blonde hair and blue eyes.
Melanie, Congrats to you!! How exciting to be getting a little man around the house! How have you been feeling? What are you craving? He's going to be such a cute little guy, he's lucky to be apart of the Fabulous Fager Family! (wow, I came up with that one myself, impressed?) Congrats to you and keep the pictures going! It's fun to watch the excitement!
Thanks for the comment Moscow Mommy! I am feeling pretty well these days. I was sick sick sick for the first 14 weeks, but an doing better now. I have strange eating habits to begin with so I am not sure what I have craved, and what is normal except for one thing. I want sour things on a regular basis... and not like sour gummy treats; I want a war head candy, or a piece of lemon. All in all, everything is wonderful!
