When I found out I was pregnant, I really and truly wanted a blue-eyed baby. Boy or girl, blue eyes please.
My dad has the most amazing blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Blue as the sky and so bright. They are striking. I so wanted my little boy to have those eyes. Instead, he got the same blue that I, my brother, and my mom have. They sometimes tend a little more towards gray, depending on what color we’re wearing. But my dad? His eyes never change – they are always the same vibrant pools of blue.
So while it’s nice that my boy has the exact eyes that I do, I wanted to pass on something else. The poor kid already has so many of my traits that it’s scary. He never even had a chance. I’m sure he’ll thank me (and never let me forget it) later.






I think they are beautiful eyes.
marty´s last blog post..Can you hear me in there?
Aw, thank you. I do think his eyes are beautiful. I just wanted him to have those icy blue eyes so badly!
Wow, what a cute little boy! I think his eyes are a really nice blue!
Thanks, Holly.
Same desire when I was pregnant. My son’s eyes are amazingly blue. He’s very lucky.
