DD1 looked so much like DP I felt like I'd given birth to him, it was really quite freaky. Before she came out, I joked that I hoped she had his looks and my brains.
DD2 didn't really look like either of us. People now say she looks like me but I think it's just the hair colour.
YES! Flipping identical and I am SO tired of hearing about it EVERYTIME we meet someone new or see someone we haven't seem in a while. :wall: He's my baby too danmit!
Nope, DD is a spitting image of me (always has been my side of the family).The only look she has of DH's is a wonky shaped mouth when relaxed, and now his hazel eyes. She has many of his mannerisms, but looks nothing like him.
DS, well he is a mini DH in every way. I don't even get a look in. I don't even claim the blue eyes cause DD's changed when she was 2.
Nope, Moo looks just like me!
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.
