DD has dark brown eyes and I can't imagine her any other way. Luckily she also got my husband's crazy long, dark, and thick Italian eye lashes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442318 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:29:47 +0000 gingerbebe 2442318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: can't help it here's some pics of these goons </p> [attach=1472/16/o1qjtn.600x600.image.jpeg] [attach=1472/16/o1qjto.600x600.image.jpeg] [attach=1472/16/o1qjtp.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442281 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:03:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2442281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: that's a pretty funny description of your hubby and your LO. I'm sure my grandparents received some stares when walking around with my mom. The grands were both dark brown and my mom came out very, very light. Thank goodness she had her dad's nose; otherwise, she may have been suspected of being the milkman's. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442263 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:57:16 +0000 travellingbee 2442263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hoped they would have DH's eyes. (Mine are a pretty green but DH has beautiful blue eyes). DS1 has DH's shape eyes but my color. DS2 are blue so far but who knows what they will be. I hoped they have my chin (DH's family has a bit of a weak chin) and my lips (mine are full)- so far they both seem to have mine of both. I hope they get DH's height. He and his family are tall and my family is quite short. So far they are on the taller end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442206 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:02:57 +0000 youboots 2442206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hoped she would get her dads olive complexion- she did.</p> <p>I hoped she would have his blue eyes- they will certainly not be blue but they are an interesting hazel.</p> <p>I hoped she would have red hair like my sister and nephews- nope, but it may be alburn like mine.</p> <p>We both hoped she would get my build. I'm slim and narrow. Ms side of the family has always had weight issues. My parents still weigh what they did in their 20s. Not sure on this yet- she's 80% for height and 10% for weight. I just don't want her to struggle with fluctuating weight more than vanity reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442173 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:43:41 +0000 mrschickpea 2442173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping for DHs nose because mine is Czech/Slovak and huge! (Family nose, we all have it) and also for DH's hazel eyes instead of my grey ones. </p> <p>Though I'm hoping he/she will get my skin, eyebrows and full lips! And DH's family has a history of bad teeth genetically so we're both hoping for my genetics in that department. The kiddo is bound to have blonde hair since we both did but I would love a dark haired baby 😄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442167 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:41:06 +0000 sarac 2442167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope that my second daughter has her father's ease of building muscle. My oldest has it, and she's quite strong and well muscled for a freaking four year old. I'd hate for them to be really different in that regard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442151 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:31:09 +0000 Happygal 2442151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping she would get his dimples and smile/lips.</p> <p>I am still hoping she got my immune system--I'm healthier and better at fighting things off!</p> <p>I checked last night to see if she's double jointed in her fingers like he is--I think she missed that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get/page/2#post-2442138 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:23:56 +0000 Littlebit7 2442138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought 100% that my daughter would have brown hair and brown eyes (my eyes her dads hair). I secretly hoped she would have his green eyes and my sorta blonde hair</p> <p>Lo and behold. Strawberry blond hair (tons of it) and huge bright baby blue eyes. I had the nurses double check she was actually mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442123 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:19:20 +0000 gingerbebe 2442123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Isn't it funny? I was worried DS might look really white (I had some super blond, green-eyed half-Korean friends growing up who you would never know were mixed) and that people would mistake me for the nanny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442091 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:06:59 +0000 catlady 2442091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I just had to laugh about your husband and the kidnapper thing. I look very caucasian (but I'm half-Asian) and as a kid, people would always ask my Chinese dad where and how he "got a white baby." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442042 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:49:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2442042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping DD would get double eye lids but she got my mono lids! </p> <p>Looking back at her 3D ultrasounds, she really did look like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442041 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:47:46 +0000 skipra 2442041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just hoped they would get my nose and DH's ears! So far both have his ears and I'm pretty sure LO1 will have my nose. Both look more like DH so it would be nice to have one that looks a little like me, minus the dumbo ears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442017 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:36:22 +0000 fancyfunction 2442017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Yes - dark Italian girl here! I'm happy any hair M has on her body is blonde!</p> <p>I wanted her to get my husband's blue eye (which she did) and feet like mine b/c his are terrible! :wink: Her's seem ok so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442012 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:34:59 +0000 gingerbebe 2442012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My white husband hoped my son wouldn't look COMPLETELY Asian because he had this rando fear that people would think he was a kidnapper or something. </p> <p>I hoped he would get his daddy's long lashes. </p> <p>We both got what we wanted. DS looks like you put Asian skin and hair on DH as a baby. They have the exact same body shape, facial features, dimples, everything. DH also really likes wearing Daddy and Me outfits with DS so they look even more alike, weirdo. DS also has DH's RIDICK lashes that I'm so jealous of.</p> <p>I'm less thrilled that DS got DH's propensity to sweat heavily and that he also got his father's wide bread loaf hobbit feet and weird flat toenails - they have been a nightmare for DH (and I) to manage in adulthood. DH and I both have bad teeth for totally different reasons (my family has straight teeth that rot at the drop of a hat and DH's family's teeth are strong as horses but crooked like some terrible Brit-com stereotype), so we're always checking his teeth and expecting lots of ortho and dentistry bills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2442006 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:31:50 +0000 artsyfartsy 2442006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like T got the best features of both of us.</p> <p>His dad's thick, fast growing hair but my hair color.<br /> His dad's thick eyelashes and smaller nose<br /> My round face and lips<br /> His dad's toes but my tiny feet. That's not really a plus since finding big boy shoes is hard haha.</p> <p>The only thing I wish for the next one is that they get DH's skin color. He has beautiful smooth, tan skin tone and I'm milk white and get splotchy red. Also his eye color. They're a foresty brown/green. T got my milky skin and gray eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441999 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:25:33 +0000 erinpye 2441999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: oh yeah teeth!

We're both hoping s/he has my teeth, which are naturally super straight - trying to save some money on orthodontia down the road! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441990 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:20:16 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2441990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope she gets DH's blue eyes and his lips (mine are like, non existent lol), and my olive skin tone and nose. I hope her fingernails are strong like his and not flimsy like mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441918 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 13:51:39 +0000 erinpye 2441918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea what they would look like because I'm Scandinavian with naturally blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and DH is dark-haired, olive-toned, with hazel eyes, and he's part Japanese. I had hoped maybe one would get my blue eyes, but figured his traits would be dominant over mine. They both got amazing blends for eyes: DD1 has a blue ring around the most unusual green, almond shaped eyes, and DD2 has a dark blue ring around round, green/ brown hazel eyes and the longest, blackest, fullest lashes I've ever seen. They both have lovely, darker skin tones than mine. DH and I agreed we hoped they didn't get his nose, even SIL said she hoped that and she has the same nose as DH! So far they have little kid, little noses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441911 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 13:45:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2441911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hoped they would get DH's blue/green or hazel eyes!!

Personality wise, I hope she's like me. Tough, no-nonsense, tenacious, assertive.</p> <p>For a little boy:<br /> Hoping that he gets DH's broad frame and good height. A lighter complexion, ash brown hair maybe. Personality wise, I hope he get's DH's self-confidence, kindness but my vigilance.</p> <p>In a nutshell, DH's outsides, my personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441899 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 13:31:27 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2441899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope he looks like my husband (especially his beautiful dark skin!) but with my lips and eyes. Fingers crossed he gets to be a little bit taller than my DH (My husband is only 5'8 but my dad &amp; his sisters are all over 6 feet). Hoping he get's our big booties ad small ears; dimples would be cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441898 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 13:30:53 +0000 edelweiss 2441898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i want my kids to have my husband's height--i'm 5'2" and he's 6'. i'd prefer them to have my skin tone, as i burn less easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441894 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 13:29:12 +0000 sslm 2441894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have blue eyes, so basically knew DD would have them.

I would love him to get my blue eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-physical-traits-did-do-you-hope-your-kids-get#post-2441843 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:58:08 +0000 avivoca 2441843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hoped that H would have curly hair (she does!) like I do.
