How will MiniMomo turn out?

We're wondering a lot what MiniMomo will look like and be like these days, whether MM will be a boy or a girl, whose features MM will get, etc. I'm approaching 20 weeks, so we've scheduled an ultrasound for Saturday to find out what gender MM is (yay!).

Curiosity got the best of us, and we used software on a picture blending site.

We blended my baby photo and Momo's baby photo (seen below, I'm on the right and Momo is on the left):



....and came up with this image:



So far in reality, we can't go by much as far as what shape MiniMomo is taking.


We have a few ultrasound photos from when MiniMomo was a 10 week fetus: ...And a couple of pictures and videos from when MiniMomo was in there for 14 weeks:


Somehow we think that MiniMomo is a boy based on some pictures we saw on about.com (lol) that show early genders of babies. For example...




This picture looks like a blob to me, but somehow they were able to determine this fetus as a boy at 15 weeks on about.com.

As far as genes, it seems we can assume based on probability -- dominant traits and recessive traits. For eye color, Momo's dark eyes are dominant and more likely to pop up. Good vision is dominant, so MiniMomo will probably have good eyesight thanks to both of us. I'm O type blood, he's B type...B is dominant so MiniMomo will probably be B. Dark hair is dominant, but will it be brown or black? Curly hair is dominant, so MM will probably get my hair. My lips are thicker, so I probably win there too. :p We'll see what happens.

Even though my eyes are green (recessive), MiniMomo has a higher probability of having green eyes than I did (because my mother's mother and father do not have green eyes, but she does). I went on a site that actually tries to predict the eye color of your offspring (lol).

Here is MiniMomo's eye color probability based on the parents (us) and grandparents' (our parents) eye colors:


Here was my eye color probability:


I'm trying to eat healthy things and stay away from things recommended not to eat or do during this time. Hopefully it'll make MiniMomo super!
