Today is a day we've had marked on our calendar for the past 9 months or so: January 12, 2011...our baby's due date! Will today actually be the day we've been waiting for? Only time will tell. Today we'll find out if she gets her timeliness from her mommy or her daddy. Her mommy tends to be punctual (and even early) whereas her daddy tends to be more apt to be tardy.
In fact, the truth is that Polly and I always wonder which characteristics she'll get from mommy and which ones she'll get from daddy. I think that's the normal thing for new parents-to-be to do. We've discussed which physical characteristics we want her to have. We've discussed which personality traits we want her to have. We've even discussed which sleeping schedule we'd prefer her having.
What does all this discussion and hopefulness mean in the end? Nothing. But it's still good banter to pass the time as we patiently await our little one's arrival.
If you've had children, have you and your significant other had similar discussions? Did any of these discussions mean a thing once the baby arrived? I want to hear what you have to say.

well, i'm a lot more like my dad in randomness, ability-to-be-funny, and my hair and eye color, but i got my height from my mom, as well as the fact that i'm a girl. i'm really not sure where i got my body type from tho...maybe i got that from my aunt terry or something.
True, true, true, true. True and the being a girl doesn't count as from your mom. We'll re-visit the body type when you're older, just to make sure.
