I’ve written about eyes before<\/a>. I get emotional, waiting and hoping for my blue-eyed child. And I feel so guilty for that, guilty that I am disappointed in anything at all. It’s the one struggle that I can’t seem to let go of. I have spent the past 10 months staring at Kate’s grey eyes, knowing they weren’t going to turn blue but hoping they would at least stay grey. When they started turning brown I kept trying to convince myself it was the light. It wasn’t – they clearly were turning a brown hue. I was trying to just accept that, she is who she is and I need to let it go.<\/p>\n

The other day I studied her eyes by habit and realized with a shock that they have green<\/i> in them. Green. I had to look three times and I keep asking people if they see it too, because I was sure I was imagining it. They keep confirming that her eyes are in fact a grey-olive tone now. Definitely brown in there, but also a green tint. So unexpected. Yes I know that your children can end up with pretty much any color eyes under the sun, no matter what you have, but we all just figured brown (Den’s) or blue (mine).<\/p>\n

I admit, I feel a rush of relief. Green! I can handle green. It’s not blue, but green feels unique and very… Kate. Who knows what color they’ll actually end up, maybe hazel or grey\/brown\/green. It sure is interesting watching them change.<\/p>\n
