Today is an awesome day. Yes, Sarah is now 32 weeks pregnant. That means that Chester Justin Jr. Wallace Cleveland our son is now fully developed. Yep, he’s now just baking in there, getting bigger and bigger until he’s ready to head for the light. We’re really excited and so happy to be at this point.

Tonight, we have our first lamaze class. That should be interesting — or at least I hope so. I thought I’d be done with classes when I earned my master’s degree a few years ago, but that wasn’t the case.

Poking around the Internet earlier, I saw a mention of eye color, which got me thinking: What color eyes will Chester Justin Jr. Wallace my pending son have?

Sarah and I have run the formula found here. With my green eyes, Sarah’s blue and the combination of parent and sibling eye color, it turns out that our son has a 50-50 chance at having green eyes like mine. The remaining 50 percent chance is for blue.

Green eyes are rare, with only 1 percent to 2 percent of the population having them according to Wikipedia. I think it’d be pretty cool to have a son with green eyes, but really either choice is fine by me. At least we’re keeping the “fair” eye gene pool going, eh?

After a long week, I often relax on Friday by downing a beer with dinner. Since my wife was at the store and the beer supply was low after a Stokes-filled weekend, I decided to break into the liquor cabinet for some vodka. After rummaging through the fridge, I settled on a can of Squirt as the mixer. I poured the concoction into a pint glass, sat down at the island in our kitchen to eat and read a magazine, and in walked Sarah from the store.

We chit-chatted for a few minutes before I continue with my routine. As I read the magazine to my left, I caught some commotion in the corner of my right eye. Sarah was sneaking a sip of my Squirt. Turns out she took three huge gulps before realizing the glass wasn’t pure corn syrup and water. She freaked out for a minute or so, but it’s now kind of funny.

Turns out I just shared a first alcoholic drink with my son. And I thought I’d have to wait until the year 2029!

So on Monday, Sarah and I went in for another ultrasound. Can you believe that on tomorrow (Jan. 3) my wife will be 30 weeks pregnant? Only 10 or so weeks to go. Below is a great profile shot our ultrasound tech took of Chester Justin Jr. our unnamed son.



Though it’s obviously too early to tell anything for sure, it seems to me that he’s showing signs of my nose and Sarah’s chin. What do you think?
