Cindy: Miss C is beautiful! Thank you for sharing that. Yes, I do think that they look alike!
hula: to post photos you need to have them hosted somewhere, I use photobucket, then you copy its URL, and click on the photo thing above (the mountain), and paste it and voila! Good luck!
I need to post a new pic of my 3 soon! I can't believe that Payton is already 5 months old! AND that Ryleigh is as big as she is! And SAUCY! UGH!

Cindy- what a beautiful baby girl to match her beautiful name! Yes, I do see a resemblance between the girls! I can't believe how blond Simone still is!
I wonder what this baby will look like...genetics are such a funny thing. I have green eyes, DH has blue and all of our sibs all have blue or green too. The only people in our families that have brown eyes are my FIL and Jackson. Mia has hazel, but more brown than green...Will this babe get DH's blue eyes, my green eyes?
I know the baby will have brown hair (all members of both families are brunette), but curly or straight? Jackson's couldn't be more fine/stick straight and as you can tell, Mia is curly sue!
Stacey: Genetic's are a crazy thing! Both of my parents are black hair and brown eyes, I have brown hair and blue eyes and my sister is blonde with blue eyes. Denis and I are brown hair and blue eyes, and Ryleigh is dirty blonde with blue eyes, Liam is a red head with BLUE eyes, and Payton's new hair is coming in BLONDE and still with blue eyes for now.
I too can't wait to see who is hiding in your belly!

Meh. Add me to the 'genetics are weird' camp! Adam and I both have fairly dark brown hair; my eyes are hazel, his are brown. Abby has a vaguely olive complexion, dark brown curly hair, hazel eyes, and is veeeery tall. Logan is incredibly pasty white (seriously, looking at him in bright sunlight is *blinding*), strawberry blonde straight hair, blue-blue eyes, and is on the tall side of average. Isaac... well, he was born with dark-dark brown hair, but it's now almost the same color as Logan's, as odd as that seems even to me. He has more of Abby's skintone but Logan's super blue eyes. And he's a chunker. Family at my grandpa's memorial service this past weekend (Isaac and I flew back for that) constantly remarked on his baby-fatness and general large size. But anyway, just my few cents, too.
Quinn was born at 9:39pm on Sunday night after one amazing, powerful, and intense delivery. I got the natural childbirth that I have been dreaming of and am super teary just thinking about the experience. I wouldn't change a single thing and would totally do it again tomorrow (though I am so glad I don't have to). I will come back with pictures and the birth story, but it was 9.5 hours from when I started feeling like okay, this is it this time! Quinn has us all wrapped around his (not so little) finger, and we are all on cloud nine right now!
He was 8.11 lbs and 21"!!! Thank goodness he came 8 days early! FUll pond bigger than J and a pound and a half bigger than Mia! His middle name is my maiden name and we decided on Quinn when we discovered that it's the Irish variant of Hugh which is Brian's MN and Maternal Grandfather's name. We are so in love!
