Jewapino or Filijew?

Our wedding- May 15th, 2010 (photo credit: Richard Marquez @ where to look photography)

So that's us, last year all dolled up for our wedding. Me and Charlie have always joked about what our children would look like. Its kind of an ongoing joke of how messed up this kid will be. Half Filipino and half Metis/Jewish (the hubby is Metis but was adopted by a wonderful Jewish couple)oh and did we mention that we are also intent on naming our child with a reflection from both cultures.

So take a look at us... these are some of the conclusions we came to:

This kid will have no shortage of hair...ever. 

The wedding is probably the shortest Charlie's hair has been since I met him, and my hair took 3 hours to curl and pin under (I'm so sorry Katrina, you did an amazing job though!) There's is no history of baldness and if my hair was any thicker it would be classified as rope. 

This kid will have big feet.

 For being 5'2, I have enormous feet. Yes folks, I wear a size 10 and they are wide, like Fred Flinstone wide.  As for Charlie, he's a 13. Long and skinny feet though. So regardless this kid is gonna have HUGE feet.

This kid will have bad eyesight.

I wear glasses/contacts and so does Charlie.  We're both blind as bats without them and we are going to be that old couple constantly searching for our glasses when they're on our heads.

This kid will be extremely cultured.

I'm an art/fashion nerd and Charlie is a computer/music nerd. Charlie's father is a musician, his mother is a doctor. My mother is a seamstress, my father is karaoke king and a black belt. Charlie and I both listen to a HUGE array of music, all genres and bpms. We have artists and photographers as friends. So really, I expect this kid to be paying for ol' mom n' pop here by the time it's 16. LOL.

This kid will be never have a shortage of love surrounding him or her.

Both of families have been extremely supportive of this pregnancy are excited for this baby to finally arrive. All of our friends and family have already offered to babysit. Although I don't think we'll ever need to find a babysitter in a pinch because i think it'll be tough trying to get this kid away from both sets of grandparents. All in all, I'm convinced that this kid will not touch the ground for the first year of it's life.

Looks wise we're hoping this kid will get my skin tone, mainly because Charlie tends to burn upon contact with the sun. Other than that, we're pretty open. We're excited to see what he/or she will look like!
