One is fair and blue eyed, the other dark skin and dark eyes. One from my side, one from hubby's side. I am pregnant with my third girl now and I have a feeling she'll be like hubby too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890830 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 12:03:33 +0000 periwinklebee 2890830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I look very different, so I feel like the LO we are expecting now could end up looking completely different than our older one, who everyone says is about an even combination of various features of the two of us. His hair was dark when he was born but very blonde now, which I was not expecting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890825 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 11:45:04 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2890825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me and my husband are white and as kids had basically white blond hair. We thought we would have bald babies with hair that eventually was blonde. </p> <p>Our first had soooo much dark hair. It’s still stupid thick and he has really dark brown eyes. Are next two were bald little blondes though! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890824 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 11:34:52 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2890824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had no idea and both our boys have blue eyes and red hair! DW has dark brown hair and green eyes but she was white blonde when she was a baby/toddler. Our donor is light brown hair, can’t recall eye colour. They are the only redheads in all of DW’s family! For facial features, both boys looked like FIL when babies, and have looked like each other. I don’t see a lot of distinct similarities between them and DW, or the donor either, but certain facial expressions and mannerisms definitely are her. Their hair colours have also changed with time from bright red at birth to more copper/orangey at almost 5yo for DS...DS2 is mostly still bald ha.</p> <p>We have a really great US pic of DS1 in profile maybe 3 weeks before he was born and I remember looking at it before he was born and thinking ‘oh that looks like every other baby ultrasound’ but when he arrived, it looks so distinctly him! DS2’s US pics just looked like any other baby and still do ha! I actually remember having stressful dreams that DS2 would look completely different than DS1 and I wouldn’t think he was cute because I always thought DS1 was the cutest baby ever! Luckily they are both adorable :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890816 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 10:42:04 +0000 kayla0416 2890816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both have Scandinavian heritage and similar features, so it's not too much of a surprise what our kids look like. I have green eyes and curly "dishwater" blonde hair (but was white blonde until teens). DH has medium brown straight hair and blue eyes. Both our girls have blue eyes and blonde hair, one fairly curly, one just a hint of a curl. As far as facial features, DD1 is my mini and DD2 is DH's mini. I'm 12 weeks with #3, so I guess we'll have a tie-breaker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890805 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 09:52:31 +0000 Littlebit7 2890805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought both of my babies would have curly dark hair and brown eyes. The dark hair is strong in my husbands fam and brown eyes in mine<br /> ...<br /> My daughter has super blonde hair (not white blond, but a light strawberry blonde) and ice blue eyes. My son has red hair and green/blue eyes. I have dark blonde hair and my sister has red hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890794 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 09:00:34 +0000 bhbee 2890794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t think there were any huge surprises for us - dh and I both have blue eyes so fairly likely to get that - but I was surprised his dark hair didn’t show up, they’re all in the sandy blonde range (like me). Maybe when they’re older. And he has super curly hair that shows up a lot in his family and so far only one kid has it, and even that’s more wavy than true curly, no serious curls. Our biggest surprise was that #3 finally got some of the red genes we both have floating around - but still strawberry blonde. Oh and she got super pale pink white skin that none of the rest of us have! I never thought of myself as having yellow undertones or looking that tan until my arm was next to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890792 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:59:38 +0000 LemonJack 2890792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 looks a lot like my husband as a child, and DD2 looks a lot like me. I’m pregnant with #3 and am excited to see if our third is more of a mix of us, or if he/she looks more like just one of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890789 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:38:44 +0000 mrskansas 2890789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have medium-ish brown hair and green eyes. My daughter has bright blonde hair and blue eyes. Her dad has red hair and green eyes. We still can't believe our kid looks the way she does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890786 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:34:40 +0000 graceandjoy 2890786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am very interested in what our 3rd will look like! DD1 is basically mini-me while DD2 has more traits from DH's side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890785 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:34:14 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2890785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has my husbands cowlick but my curls and her hair color is a similar light brownish to either of is. She also got his blue eyes. We are both pale people with light brownish hair so E probably won't look too dramatically different from either of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890771 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 07:55:28 +0000 skinnycow 2890771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both fair skinned with dark brown hair and DD1 came out the same. DD2 surprised us - she looks just like her sister but has light hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890770 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 07:46:29 +0000 Ajsmommy 2890770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought all my babies would have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.. and when they were born they kinda did.. BUT they are both BLONDE now. They do have caramel brown eyes but completely blonde hair.. and it's curly.. not at all what I imagined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-you-think-your-baby-will-look-like#post-2890768 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 07:38:45 +0000 cyoung 2890768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is mostly just for fun. How many mommas are excited to met their new baby soon?! I am! I can't wait! I'm super excited to see how she looks. My husband is half Korean and our son (our oldest) has his coloring and looks for sure. I totally thought all of our babies would look like their dad. Imagine my surprise when my daughter was born with blonde hair and blue eyes! So apparently for us its 50/50 chance. I'm excited to see what this little baby will look like! Will she be blonde? Will she have a darker complexion? Who knows!??! </p> <p>If mommas are comfortable sharing what do you think your LO will look like? </p> [attach=9403/19/puj4gl.450x600.20190707_090626.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888902 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 06:31:26 +0000 LadyDi 2888902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 39 weeks today and I'm mostly packed for myself but need to pack my kids to go to their grandparents'. DH has to pack for himself. </p> <p>I've had no signs of labor though, there's no harm in packing early or at least making lists to make it easier and less overwhelming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888891 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 23:46:10 +0000 ALV91711 2888891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your supposed to pack! Lol</p> <p>For DS1 I had a list made and after my water broke at 38 weeks myself and DH packed. </p> <p>For DS2 I was going to be ready as I also needed to pack a bag for DS1 for his overnight stay at a relatives. Well, no bags were packed or lists made when I had DS2 at 36+6. DH packed for everyone very last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888828 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 16:06:52 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2888828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 was born at 35 weeks and we had no time to grab stuff. For DS2 we were ready around 32 weeks! He was 4 days overdue :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888809 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 13:04:16 +0000 Fawn 2888809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started packing around 37 weeks and I think I had everything ready to go at 39. My daughter came at 40 + 2 so it worked out! I definitely over packed though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888805 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 12:35:02 +0000 Pollywog 2888805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In labor. Both times. And I have super quick labors so it was literally grab a clean pair of shorts, a nursing tank, and my toothbrush.</p> <p>I highly recommend packing ahead of time. The last thing you want in transition is to be trying to find clean underwear 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888803 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 12:28:56 +0000 catgirl 2888803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed at 5am while in labor, at 36 weeks. But thankfully around 32 weeks I had made a super detailed list that I printed and taped to the inside of our closet. So DH was able to grab almost everything for me based on the list while I just sat and directed him a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888790 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 11:31:59 +0000 KT326 2888790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: Can you make a list of all the things you will need for everyone? That way its easier to pack last minute? I did that with my second, but I didn't bring that much to the hospital and I didn't have to pack anything for my oldest as my SIL came to us and I didn't pack anything for DH :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888789 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 11:28:25 +0000 lindseykaye 2888789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed early, around 36 weeks with the things I knew I needed for my bag but *didn't* need in the meantime. </p> <p>Then I made a paper list that had everything I would need to grab during go-time so that I or DH could see what was remining and toss those things in when the bags were needed. It felt like a nice middle ground of having the essentials done, and being finished with the mental/planning part of packing the bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888771 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:46:22 +0000 cyoung 2888771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I have 2 kids to pack for as well on top of me and hubby and for the baby. So I have a lot and I'm a scatterbrained person. I think my biggest worry is I'll forget like half of my stuff Haha<br /> I'm a planner as well so I like to have things ready. I may pack now at least my kids bags and babies stuff just to be safe. We will see Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888770 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:44:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2888770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed probably around 36 weeks, because I feel anxious if things are unsettled. Not everything went in the bag because I still needed to use it, but I had a written list on top of the items to add last minute. I wasn’t in a rush to have my first at all, and happily waited until 2 days before her due date, but I felt more relaxed with it packed. (I was not happily waiting for my second to arrive on her actual due date, I was very impatient, but that had nothing to do with my packed bag 😂) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888768 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:31:57 +0000 Jess1483 2888768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #3, I was told to pack at 34 weeks, as I was being monitored for an umbilical cord issue. Other pregnancies, more like 37 weeks. I’ve always gone to at least 39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888767 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:31:17 +0000 graceandjoy 2888767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - I had a schedule induction at 39 weeks, I probably started packing after 37 weeks! </p> <p>DD2 - I packed, correction, DH packed the morning I went into labor at 37 weeks! At that point I only had a list on my phone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888765 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:29:40 +0000 annem1990 2888765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed when my water broke :silly: Contractions immediately began 2mins apart and I still had plenty of time to get things together (albeit in pain!).<br /> I can’t stand having a bag just sitting there for who knows how long. Plus I don’t have dedicated hospital clothes for myself or DH. I don’t want to pack something and then not be able to wear it for the remainder of the pregnancy. I always have my toiletries ready to go and I’ll just have a list on my phone of which items I want to bring. We’ll throw it all together whenever labor starts. I also pack hardly anything in general so I feel little attachment to making sure I have certain things while in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888764 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 09:26:37 +0000 DesertDreams88 2888764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed at 34 weeks. It made me excited and I don't believe in jinxing things. Im also a planner / pro-active person, so I like doing things to "get ready." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-pack#post-2888758 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 08:56:31 +0000 cyoung 2888758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you ladies pack your bags? </p> <p>I normally in the past I packed them at 36 weeks thinking I'd go early and wanted to be prepared. I never went early. I told myself I wouldn't pack my bags till 38 weeks this time. Idk why but packing my bags gets me way too excited and I don't want to exspect baby to come early and get my hopes up. I feel like I jinked it.<br /> This time I've been having what I think are real contractions( back labor like pain since yesterday mostly) I deal with an irritable uturus so it's hard to tell what's real but my back has never hurt like this before. and the past week I keep loosing plug. Lost a lot last night but no spotting or show so who knows. I'm only 34 weeks. Part of me is worried I will get caught off guard with real labor but I feel like I'm being too ridiculous knowing my past history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/push-present-for-big-sister#post-2877994 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 23:38:43 +0000 ALV91711 2877994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 5.5 and we gave him a lego set when I went to the hospital to deliver. This gave him something to do and keep his mind off myself and DH not being there. </p>
