Baby Lineup

Jackson
Cute but obviously a boy. Those lips are huge. His cheeks are big and his high cheek bones draw his eyes out very long. Look at that Gene Fulmer nose - that's from his dad. He lost all his hair and remained a cue ball for a few months.

Sydney
Holy Fat Face! So adorable! Her features are plainly feminine. For the first few weeks, she looked Asian, not Caucasian. Her skin was yellow with jaundice and her face was round. She was born with sparse, dark, straight hair. It grows agonizing slow and is only now starting to fill in.


"Baby"
Look at all that hair; it's straight, very dense and silky. Smaller lips. Smaller cheeks. Her nose is different - more Jorgensen perhaps. Show us your eyes baby! Her face seems to be slightly more square. Her eyes seem not so deeply set, but that could just be her slimmer cheeks. When her eyes are closed, it's not easy to tell whether she's a boy or a girl. That all changes when she's looking around. Her beautiful eyes and smile give it away.

Don't let those slimmer cheeks fool you about her looks. Jen's blood sugar was more tightly controlled with this baby. That may have prevented this baby from swelling up as much as Sydney did. That's not to say that Jen isn't amazing with her sugar control because she is. But this baby may end up looking very much like Sydney without starting life in the Sumo Wrestler phase that Sydney did.

In all, Jen and I think that her Jorgensen features are more prominent. We're interested to see what the upcoming weeks do to her features.

Having dealt with genetics for several years now it never fails to intrigue seeing the difference in kids of the same family. It always makes me think. I know the ratios of the traits that are supposed to be passed on. But it never seems to end up that way. Call when you can we are excited for you.
