What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I know we all want healthy babies...that's a given.

Just for fun though, when you look at yourself and your DH, what are the physical features you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I hope the baby gets my blue eyes and DH's dimples.

I hope he doesn't get my ears and DH's teeth!!

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I pray to God every night that my son doesnt get my hair type. I have the thick wiry frizzy mess type

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I hope our baby gets DH's darker skin and no freckles like Mama! Besides that I'll take anything else

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I hope baby isn't BALD!!!!! (Like DADDY, not mommy )

Daddy's athletic abilities (mommy has none) and daddy's metabolism and thirst for knowledge.

Mommy's hair (obviously) and appreciation for the arts, desire to travel and interest in languages and cultures. Oh and mommy's boobs if it's a girl.

Daddy's butt (boy or girl) and his teeth too.

I hope my baby has my husbands lips because they are perfect! Also, I want his athleticism and my muscial talent. We both have really big dark eyes with long eyelashes...so I think he will get that too! I can't wait to see my little !!

Do YOU???

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I was born with a very large birthmark on my neck, and it always made me feel really self conscious and kids were often rude about it, so I hope she doesn't have anything like that, at least not in such a visible spot.

Otherwise, we're both pretty average looking, so anything would be fine!

I want Her to have dh Hair and eyes He has nice blue eyes and blonde hair.

I don't want her to have my hair.

My are ok they are hazel but Dh has these nice Baby blues. Don't want her to get Dh Teeth

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

Not PG yet but I do think about this often since we are TTC. I hope our children get...

...my:
-nose
-skin
-legs
-hair
-my ability to articulate feelings with words

...DH's
-butt
-muscle strength
-feet
-musical aptitude
-mathematical skills

I would also like our female children not to have my family's genetics that make up breast size. Im too small for my height. DH and I are not small people. Lets hope his side is more dominant in this area.

I also hope that there is a recessive trait for a small head somewhere in our genetic make ups. DH and I have decent sized noggins and I am fully prepared to need a C-section some day!

I also pray, and to me this is incredibly important, that our children are physically fit with inclinations towards athletics. I was not. DH was as a young man. Having grown up obese my entire life, I would not wish this upon my child or any other for that matter. The countless moments of taunting from children (and even adults) are permanently stuck in my head. After my surgery, I made a promise to myself that I would encourage my children to be active individuals. I dont care if my son wants to be a ballerina or if my daughter wants to play ice hockey (I should be so lucky). I want them to see the value of an active lifestyle for their physical, social, emotional and behavioral health. I did not mean to rant. This is just important to me.

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I want my baby to have DHs nose and brains!
My hair (I love my red hair) OR Dh's dark hair with my hazel eyes.

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

DH-Eyes, brians
My-Hair & Nose

Re: What features do you hope your baby gets/doesn't get??

I'm hoping for DH's blue eyes because I've always hated my brown eyes.

And I'm hoping for my wavy hair, if it's a girl!
