Baby Barack?

An expert photo editor I am not.
I haven't had a lot of baby dreams during my pregnancy. The most common one is that Preston is already born, and I'm in the bad habit of leaving him places — laying on the ground, sitting in a grocery cart, underneath the Christmas tree, etc. Nothing too weird; just my subconscious's way of processing how underprepared I feel.

Saturday, though, I had a weird one. With an ultrasound this Friday (hopefully with a little 3D action thrown in there so we can see what this little guy looks like), I've been wondering what features he'll have from my end of the gene pool and which will come from Scott's. In my dream, the ultrasound tech put the magic ultrasound wand to my belly only to reveal that my son looked just like Barack Obama. There little Preston/Barack was, smiling Obama's iconic smile, waving on the ultrasound monitor. Then he pulled out a guitar and gave an impromptu, in utero rock concert, complete with dog collar necklace (I blame this commercial for that detail).

I woke up very confused after that. According to What to Expect When You're Expecting, dreams about your baby's appearance signifies concern for the baby's growing or fear that your baby will inherit your bad traits.

But what about when your baby looks like the Commander-in-Chief?
