I think I saw her in my dreams.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132952 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 17:11:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 132952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I said that he better not get my big ears of my husband's big nose lol well he got both!!</p> <p>He did get my eyes and I thought he would. Still waiting to see if he got my curly hair :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132879 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:21:30 +0000 cyneswith 132879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm imagining it'll be mostly pink and wrinkly, probably with dark hair at first. I only HOPE he/she looks like hubby's side. His family is beautiful. My maternal grandpa's genes are strong (people from my home town recognize my nephew as being one of his descendants at a glance), though, so my kids are regrettably likely to have my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132864 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 12:41:08 +0000 erwoo 132864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Had no idea. When our first son came out the first thing I remember saying was that he was soooo cute! The same with our second. I couldn't even imagine what they would look like. So far, both boys are a good mix of both of us and they don't particularly look a lot like either of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132748 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 10:00:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 132748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it weird to think she'd look different depending on the name we choose? For some reason, DH (and I) picture a fair-haired, blue eyed Emma, but a more wild (maybe still fair) Olivia. For Molly, I picture brown hair and eyes.</p> <p>Weird? lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132683 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:14:32 +0000 heffalump 132683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I thought she'd have fair skin and dark hair, with dhs round face and my nose. And she was all of that, but she still didn't look how I thought she would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132665 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:37:44 +0000 pastemoo 132665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I dreamed about what he looked like and it was horrible--he better not look like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132664 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:30:00 +0000 mediagirl 132664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope she gets a combination of both of our looks. That's what I imagine her looking like, both of us. I would love for her to get my skin color, though. He's pretty pale and burns easily. I have skin that tans easily. I can't wait to meet her!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132659 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 03:46:00 +0000 tequiero21 132659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure how I imagined my kids to look like, but they did not look like how I didn't imagine them... Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132631 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:24:23 +0000 sandy 132631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: I was so scared bc LO had a HUGE nose in her high resolution ultrasound...someone even commented "wow, what a schnozz on that one!". But she doesn't have a huge nose...it must have been in tht stage if development or something. </p> <p>Anyway I could not really picture what my baby girl was going to look like...I'm Asian and my husband is white...and i just could not picture what she was going to look like...but she really is more beautiful and more adorable than I ever could have dreamed up. But when they pulled her out she looked like an angry gremlin/sumo wrestler...I was in shock but once I held her in my arms (I had a csection) I thought she was so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132517 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:57:22 +0000 His Barista 132517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! She looked exactly like her ultrasound pictures. : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132515 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:55:48 +0000 regberadaisy 132515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: haha we were kidding around the other day wouldn't it be weird if we had a ginger?!?! He's half Irish on his mom's side and some of his facial hair is orange! So there's some dormant genes in there....hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132514 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:54:24 +0000 banana 132514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nycalimama: Interesting! I have a friend who just gave birth to her 2nd daughter and she said she felt like she didn't know whose baby it was, because she looked nothing like her first! I wonder if my daughter will look anything like my son when he was a baby. So curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132510 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:52:57 +0000 SAHM0811 132510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't picture #1 while I was pregnant, but after she came, I sorta felt like she was exactly what I expected, if that makes any sense at all?</p> <p>And when expecting #2, I had always heard moms of two say, #2 looked so much like #1 as a baby especially... So I expected that... And yes, after she arrived, I found myself saying, "She looks so much like #1 when #1 was a baby!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132505 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:48:09 +0000 banana 132505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I wonder if your LO will have light or dark hair!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132502 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:46:09 +0000 regberadaisy 132502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I knowww!!!! Eeekkk</p> <p>I think it's hard for me to visualize because my husband and I look so different! I'm 5'5", petite, black hair, brown eyes, Asian. He's a 6'3" German with blond hair, blue/green eyes, muscular. Who knows what genes she'll get! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132498 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:44:16 +0000 MsMini 132498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have any picture in my head of what our baby will look like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132493 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:40:59 +0000 LAGS 132493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't the slightest clue what our LO will look like. We had a 3D u/s and in the pictures we captured she looks a lot like DH, I wasn't expecting such a resemblance. But really, even with the pictures, I still really can't picture what she'll look like.... can't wait to meet her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132482 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:19:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 132482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not sure. I was kind of shocked at our 3D ultrasound because in the pic LO looked like she had a HUGE nose. Like ginormous. And neither DH or I have a big nose...I am not sure if she really does or if it was just the picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132466 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:49:10 +0000 banana 132466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.wagon: I'm super curious to see what my little girls looks like too. I picture her to look just like me so anything different, I'm sure I will be very surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132461 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:44:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 132461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe... actually I'm not surprised at all how Wagon Jr. looks... he is pretty much exactly what I pictured in my mind. As a baby I'm not so sure (I was too stressed out to even enjoy looking at him, I think!) but as a toddler and little kid he looks exactly as I pictured him. Probably because he looks JUST like Wagon Sr.'s pictures from when he was a kid. So so so so cute.</p> <p>I cannot picture what my daughter will look like. I hope she looks like Wagon Sr. too, because even though I like my looks now, I was not a very cute little girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132448 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:31:42 +0000 banana 132448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: How exciting!!! 2 weeks! EEK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132432 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:09:10 +0000 regberadaisy 132432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have NO idea how our baby will look like! haha. The only thing I'm thinking is maybe she'll have my black hair but that's it!<br /> We'll see in less than 2 weeks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-baby-look-anything-like-you-imagined#post-132430 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:06:33 +0000 banana 132430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son looked exactly how I would've imagined him. And I have a strong mental picture of what my daughter will look like. But I hear that a lot of moms are surprised when their babies come out looking totally different than how they had imagined in their heads.</p> <p>Did your baby look just how you pictured him/her? </p>
