Thanks everyone for your replies :)
Winter: Interesting article!
Here I thought looking albino was back in haha. But seriously she says the most weird things at unreal times. I hope she comes out white as me just to spite her haha
First thing....you are beautiful Ahurani!!
My DS1 is the absolute spitting image of his Dad, I do not even get a look in :) Everyone says the same.
The two after are a different story :D
i know they look similar but i havent seen pics of DH as a baby or even a kid younger than 14 but DS looks like BIL like spitting image and so far DD looks like me all over but shes got time lol
Yeah I've been told about the "spitting image of their father" for the few days/weeks because it went back to the cavemen times or something? If the baby looked like the man then they wouldn't walk out on their woman... so thats where it stems from.
Its true in the case for all my children - at BIRTH they were the spitting image of DH, now they pretty much all look like me.. LOL.. (poor buggers) Especially DD2, she's my spitting image of what I looked like as a baby.
I think the primal thing was reversed for us so I would accept and bond with her (I had some issues) cause DD came out looking exactly like me!!!!
Everyone says DD1 looks like me, but its just her eyes (they all got my brown eyes). When you see photo's of her & DH at the same age they are identical. I had people (his brother's family) pull me out in the street saying 'that's A's baby!' when they'd never met me! (They were both bald til they were 3 :lol:)
DD2 looks more like a mix of both our sisters & DS looks like a mix of DH, my dad & my brother.
DD3 looks more like DD1 & DS, but I'm hoping she's a brunette, coz DD2 might start to wonder, lol
When DS1 was born apparently my MIL said he was the spitting image of my BIL!!! :o
I was under so much medication I didnt really get to have a good look at him til the next day and by then he looked like hubby from nose upwards but me nose downwards because of his little bum chin lol! now looking at him nearly 2 years later he has my rounder face, my blue eyes, stumpy legs and great skin but he has hubbys ears and thats about it lol!
DS2 when born looked like me with the round face and again bum chin but he also has his dad's ears again but he also has his dads long body which is different to DS1.
MIL was happy to describe him as another BIL look alike stupid woman!
Theres a chinese saying that teh first daughter always looks like your brother. My DD was a spitting image of my brother and even my mum couldnt tell them apart when i pulled out a pic of him and pretended it was my daughter lol
My DD1 looked like my DH when born but now looks like me my DS looked just like DH but has my skinny build and my DD2 is the spitting image of her dad in everyway right upto his massive head she has only just grown into her head it was 37cm at birth the peditrician thought her head was odd until he measure my DH head then laughed
lol MILs often say odd things....
but in answer to the question....not around these parts!
My kids are a perfect matching pair and the spit out of my mouth. DH doesn't nor has he ever gotten a look in.
My DD arrived looking like the spitting image of her uncle, DH's brother lol now she just looks like a bit of all of us. But if you talk to my MIL every little feature and habit is completely from her side of the family....
DH didn't get a look in with Sam at birth. From the minute he was born you'd call him a clone of me apart from the gender issue!
I sometimes freak out when I look at him and see myself from my baby photos in him - it's really weird, but certain facial expressions are like I'm looking at my baby photos again and it is really, really weird at times.
The only way DH appears in Sam is personality. Sam is me all over in looks and completely DH in personality. Better than being the reverse - I don't think I'd do well with a control-freak stress-head toddler!

It's more about the first few days/weeks after birth.
One DD was identical to her dad at the start, but looks nothing like him now. She looks way more like MY dad! Same with the other DD and they have different dads.
DS - we all have no idea who he looks like, we often used to wonder who his mother was lol
I'm pale, DH has olive skin, and DD was born bearing the same (beautiful) olive as her dad. So we got it too "Oh she's identical to her dad". Now, looking at her, and soon after birth, although she has the olive skin, she is a split mix of the both of us that many people can see. Be prepared that if your bub does have olive skin, of your MIL's reaction even if she is identical looking to you!!
DS1 looked and still looks far more like his daddy and one of his uncles (DH's brother), DS2 on the other hand was and is a dead ringer for me! Just a male version ... poor thing ; )
ds1 spitting image of his dad, there was a photo of fil and df srround 6 months to a year old, everyone thought it was df and ds1, never mind the fact it was a pic from the 80's! ds2 dosnt realy "look" like either of us, he has his dads nose but is blonde and untill about 2 years ago had blue eyes, im always being asked if he has the same dad:shakehead: as he is the only blonde. dd looks like df and ds, just alot more chubb!! (witch apparently she gets from me) untill we have a baby that comes out with bright red hair, i will continue to say they look like df. ( i had bright red hair untill arround 18 months when it went brown)
having said all that, everyone thinks they all look just like me and ds2 must look like df, untill they meet df then they realize the kids look like him! they definatly dont get them whopper eyelashes from me!
Are you serious Lu?? He is the spitting image of YOU!!! I've seen the photos....:
