Awesome!! I figure anyone that's driven down to the LA Area from our areas either take I-5 or HWY 99. We take 5 since it's closer to us. I love my van!! I don't know what I would do without it and all the space we have in it!
Reason is because my DH and I both have blue eyes also.
Thank you! The joke around here is if they have brown eyes they belong to the mailman!!
I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Easter!!! We are thinking of heading back to Great America tomorrow for their Easter festivities!! That is if the rain stay's away!!!
Sounds like home.
We got hit hard with the rain last night. The thunder was so loud and so close that our house shook. I am not normally afraid but last night I was. I hope the rain held off enough for you all to enjoy Great America.
Your kids are cute, and I do like their eyes! My DH should probably wonder about the mailman, because all of our kids have blue eyes too, and his are brown... (Which are supposed to be dominant, right??) I have blue eyes, and -his- dad does too, but I would sure love a little brown-eyed baby next time... -- you would know auto husband has a ressive blue gene. I have almost confused myself now-- I better quit while I am close to being even
Don't worry Great America is no Disneyland!!! The last time I was at Discovery Kingdom I was approx. 6 months pregnant with DD. We were comparing the 3 parks and in order of cleanliness/guests we found Discovery Kingdom to be the worse with Great America being just a step up and of course Disneyland being the best of the 3!! I'd like to take the kids back to Discovery Kingdom just for the shows and the animals but I know the zoo is probably a better place to go for that. We did look into passes there a few years ago but Great America had the better value and I don't have to pay to go over a bridge!!!
Ironically I don't mind the traffic when I am going to Disneyland but anywhere else I get tired of it.
You definatly can have a blue eyed child. Your husband may carry the Bb gene where as you carry the bb gene. so you have a 1 in 4 chance that your child will be blued eyed. Just remember if husband is BB then no chance of a blue eyed baby as his dominat genes will take over. B = Brown which is dominant b=blue which is ressesive. My parents have 4 blue eyed children last baby that looks just like my Dad is a brown eyed redish haired boy. Dad is the Bb and mom was the bb. So maybe you will need to have 5 kids
I hope I made sense.
Which is why I keep being surprised that they all have blue eyes, (so far) because it just seemed more likely that we would be likely to have at least -one- set of Bb, right? DH also has really dark hair (and it started out decently dark), and our kids are all blonde-ish! (But I'm pretty sure they'll all darken up as they grow...) Everywhere I go, I get, "Wow, they look just like you, Mom..." ;-)
Enjoying your report! We just went with similar-aged kids, (6, 5, and 2.5) but it was our first trip! Of course we hit Peter Pan and Dumbo first, too.
Sounds like your DH has a blue recessive gene in there due to his dad. My grandparent's had 5 daughters. They all have brown except for my mom is who has blue eyes and the funny thing is she's a twin!! They are fraternal so of course they are going to look different but it's just funny one has blue eyes and the other has brown. I agree brown eye's are adorable on babies but I guess I'm stuck with blue since it's the dominant for us!! You definatly can have a blue eyed child. Your husband may carry the Bb gene where as you carry the bb gene. so you have a 1 in 4 chance that your child will be blued eyed. Just remember if husband is BB then no chance of a blue eyed baby as his dominat genes will take over. B = Brown which is dominant b=blue which is ressesive. My parents have 4 blue eyed children last baby that looks just like my Dad is a brown eyed redish haired boy. Dad is the Bb and mom was the bb. So maybe you will need to have 5 kids
I hope I made sense.
Lol had to edit as I figured it out backwards -- LOL Just look at the last child for my mom and dad and that is how it can happen for a brown eyed little one. So you with the 3 blues eyed kids-- and let me say they are so cute
We've actually been able to trace back our blue eye's to our ties to the Cherokee Indians (my family is on the Dawes Rolls, which is the Indian registry. My Great-Great-Great Grandpa was 100% Indian. He gave up his position as an Indian Chief to marry a white woman. It's actually a pretty interesting story that my Great Grandma used to tell me when I was a little girl.) I am not a fan of crossing the bridges myself. My BIL was in the hospital in Walnut Creek and I hated it. More traffic and bridge toll.
Yeah, I had that section in genetics.
It is funny that there's so much in common!!
Thank you!! I'm glad we aren't the only crazy one's to have our kids so close in age and to take them to Disneyland!!! This wasn't our first trip as I'm sure you can guess!! I figured it out the other day and counting this trip Jeremy has been to Disneyland 13 times and WDW 1 time, Sarah has been to Disneyland 11 times and WDW 1 time and James has been to Disneyland 9 times!! I sure do have some spoiled kids!! You do have to hit two of the most popular rides first!! If not then you may end up having a little bit of a wait to get on!!
So is that a hint that you are wanting baby number 4? Sounds like we have a lot in common because my DH and I are wanting at least one more too!!!
Made perfect sense!! To someone who's gone through all the research for why some have blue and other's have brown in the exact same family. Especially when dealing with twins!!
To bad I didn't realize you were in Walnut Creek!! I had all 3 of my kids at Kaiser in Walnut Creek!! Show's you how close I am to that area (almost didn't make it with Jeremy, I was only there for about 20 mins before he was born!!) It don't matter where I am I hate traffic!! But I guess if I'm going to Disneyland I can deal with the traffic better!!!
I had one kid at Kaiser in Vallejo and the other two were born at a hospital here in town. I swore after the first one I would never have another baby at Kaiser. As much as I like Kaiser not for babies. Crazy! You are lucky you made it in time. The worst traffic for me in the Sacramento traffic. The drivers there do no commute like the rest of us.
At least when I walked into Kaiser I felt like the place was clean unlike the one in Oakland. Different experiences for different people. Yeah they do drive differently in Sacramento!!
