I'm dreamin' of a... little boy

Ever since we've confirmed Little Monkey is a boy and not a girl (Poor lad, I'd been calling him a "she" for about 5 months of his life so far!), my dreams have been populated with little boys. I dream of little boys tumbling about in parks and riding bikes and looking all angelic and sweet in my arms. I'm sure tired mums of real little boys can tell me that the angelic and sweet part is not always the case.

Sometimes, the little boys in my dreams have blond hair and blue eyes. I guess this is because I used to play quite a bit with a friend's baby boy and he was blond and blue-eyed. Or maybe this is because I wonder if Little Monkey will inherit the paternal family genes and come out blond and blue-eyed. If that happens, I can't imagine the hassle I'll get in the hospital when I try to convince the staff that this baby is mine. "Yes, Sister... I know this baby is blond and I'm Chinese, but trust me, I'm his MOTHER!" ;D

The other night, the baby boy in my dreams had Top Monkey's lovely hazel eyes. Ooh! I'd like that! I've always liked the way Top Monkey's eyes changed colour with the light unlike my eyes which stay dark brown in all lighting.

It's just so much fun trying to imagine what our baby will look like. Will he get my nose? Will he get his dad's slightly sticky-out ears? Or my big flat brontosaurus feet? 6-footer like dad? Or a shortie like me? Maybe he'll look like Joey G, the product of a Malay dad and an Irish mum. Or maybe like Dom, the son of a Chinese dad and an English mum. Or maybe he'll look like your average white English lad.

Each time a Caucasian-Asian kid runs by, I crane my neck trying to get a good look at him/her. I think their parents must think I'm rude because I keep looking at their kids so intently but I'm really just trying to visualise what Little Monkey may look like in the future. I'm looking now for fun software when you can input in two faces and the software will "scramble eggs" them into a new face, so if anyone knows where I can download that, please let me know. I'll be playing with that a LOT to just imagine what Little Monkey will look like!
