Pfft.
Tell your MIL that she needs to stop smelling her farts.
Seriously...what is wrong with pale skin?????
J man has olive skin, I have 4 children and only V has olive skin...all my boys are as white as me :D..
Dudie - my eldest is a spitter for me (I know I know poor bastard) and my other 3 have bits an pieces of both of us.
Yes yes - EXACTLY that! It's all anyone can see - I helped make him and carried him for 9 months, but it feels like DH gets all the credit!:
Haha sorry my love, I know I say it a lot but he really does lol!:
Both DDs look alike and like me as babies and even now they look like me. When you see pictures of them when they were young its hard even for me to tell which is which. (they have different dads so my genes are pretty strong LOL)
DS is a mini DH.
LOL:
DS looks alot like DH too. And yep, I get sick of hearing all about it!
DD1 is a spitting image of DH (poor thing! lol). DD2 is a spitting image of me (YAY!) and DD3 is a bitsa of us both.
I *think he does now...but earlier, not so much. He thankfully missed out on my broad nose, all the girls got it though. Actually I catch myself looking at the perfect nose I wish I got, and it makes him look all the more impish :D:
DS1 looked exactly like my DH as a baby until he was 4 months old, then he started to look a bit like both of us. He's 3 now and people are finally saying he looks more like me.
DS2 was a VBAC so we were lucky enough to have a 3D ultrasound at 34 weeks. DH was very chuffed that it was another bub that looked just like him (and at 13 months still does). Isn't it funny how it's so important to our blokes that their babies look like them? There's no disputing that we birthed our babies but I guess our men have no proof that they're the father.
On the skin thing, DS1 is a pale skin like me and DS2 has his Daddy's slightly less pale skin. Honestly, it's a roll of the dice what your baby inherits from you and MIL's will always be biased towards their offspring and genes. My DS2 looked like he was going to have red hair for a bit and my Mum kept saying it was from her Dad, but she conveniently forgets that her ex-husband and my Father is a redhead!
Don't stress about it, it's exciting waiting to meet your baby and see what they look like for the first time :)
Yep.
Mum also said she looked like y little sister, but so much like DH.
Now, she looks like him but much more like me. There are photos (i hadn't noticed til an aunt pointed it ouut to me lol) where I would swear it was Charlotte, but it is actually me. Kinda cool because I never thought she looked like me, apparently it is so obvious she is mine it isn't funny, I just can't see it! :rofl:
DD1 did and still does look a lot like her dad, DD2 was more me when she was born but is now a lot more like her dad.
DP's family have VERY strong genes, niece looks EXACTLY like SIL and DP but nephew is the spitting image of his dad, maybe it's only the female gene in his family that is so strong ???
DS1 was a spitting image of DP when he was a baby and DS2 didn't look like either of us, but as he grew he looks like DP :D
Hahaha angelaartstudent didn't we discuss the only thing Kim gave Palmer was her eating capacity? She is such a mini you...
My DD is spitting image of XP, except she got my blue eyes (but his eye shape!)
LOL I was waiting for you to reply, becuase it really is blantly obvious that Jade really *is* a spitting image of Phil! Always has been, I think, from when I first saw her at 6 weeks old!:
Depends which grandparents you ask!
I really thought she would look like my DH and was so surprised when she was born - for her first few days she looked just like me.
There is a theory that there's an evolutionary benefit to babies looking like their father in their first 12 months - to keep their father providing for the baby as he would know it was his.
My DS didn't look like his dad in the face, but he had the exact same congenital condition of the hands that made him look exactly like his Dad. I think your MIL is talking out of her bum LOL, but I have seen a few newborns that are like little 'mini me's' of their fathers.
Apparently both my girls were "dead ringers" for DP when they were born according to MIL - depite the fact that they looked completely different! DD1 didn't really look like either of us at birth but probably more like DP than me, although they now both look more like me! DD2 (I think) looked just like me as a baby but everyone thought she was the image of DP - it's very subjective and people will always find characteristics of whichever parent they are looking for in a child.
My DS looks a lot like his dad. But his skin is more like mine.
My oldest is the spitting image of my brother, except DS1 has red hair, lol.
Yeah, I've heard that thrown about too, and it kinda makes sense...:
FWIW DS looked like DH and for the first few months, then he became more like me, but now at 18 months he is the spitting image of DH. So I guess it keeps changing as they develop.
I dont think DS looked like either of us at birth/first few weeks. Depends on who you speak to now whether he looks like me or DH. I see DH more than me in DS, but DS pulls some faces and he looks like DH's father.
A friend of the family has a 2yo daughter, and she's the spitting image of her father's father! Makes me wonder how the mother can tell the father - to his face - that the little girl isn't his, when clearly there's a family resemblance. But lets not go there right now :)
DS1 is the spitting image of his father. We have a pic of my DH in our hall as a child, and EVERYONE thinks it is one of DS1.
DD definately looks like DH & his side of the family - i got no look in other than unfortunately she is a shorty
My 1st DS was and still is a dead ringer for his dad even the baby photos of both of them are identical.
My 2nd DS looked more like me although now he looks like his dad but with my skin and nose.
And DS 3 is a spitting image of DS1 so just like his dad but all 3 of my boys have my families wonky 2nd toe you could even see it on u/s the 2nd toe is bigger than the first by a good 1-2cm even my daughter i lost at 20 weeks to my new DH she had the toes aswell it was even mentioned in the autopsy report as an abnormality lol little did they know it is all through my family.
I wonder what this little miss due in march will look like?
DS looks just like his dad lol, at least according to me and hubby's side of the family, my side of the family keep saying that DS looks like one of my cousins which is impossible because my cousin looks COMPLETELY different (must the the blonde-haired blue-eyed thing that the males in my family seem to be carrying on lol my brother is only dark haired-dark skinned male in the family - the rest are mostly white, freckle and don't tan though there are a few brunette's in the mix - and that's only because he inherited it from our mum), but in saying that the only thing I have in common with my dad is that I'm short, overweight, freckle (though I also tan too, thanks mum!) and have little fingers with a bend in the second knuckle that makes the tips turn inwards (some genetic trait apparently that even DS has inherited... at least 5 generations have had it in my family now, and I'm going to guess that DS will pass it on to the 6th when I become a granny lol).
