Am I wrong to think this way?

Question

Okay so my husbands family has EXTREMELY strong genes, ALL of his nieces and nephews look like his family and his family alone. Is it wrong of my to wish my child comes out looking like my family? 🤦🏽‍♀️ the kids in his family are cute HOWEVER my siblings don’t have kids I just really want my daughter to come out looking like me..... although by the looks of the 3D ultrasound she’s got her dads lips so I’m already sceptical that she’ll look anything like me. 😂

Answer

I don’t think you’re wrong to think like that, personally!! I’m pregnant via IUI with anonymous donor and I also hope my babe comes out looking a bit like me lol! I’ve seen the donor’s baby and youth pics and such a good looking kid, but my family would of course love to see him have a few of our family features too!!!

Answer

There is some anecdotal evidence that babies are born favoring the father to increase the chances of the father bonding with them, but then the babies change to reflect their more balanced DNA makeup over time. Take heart!
You’re not alone. I know my baby favors dad and his lips, but I’m secretly hoping he gets my eyes so he looks like me, too. I think it’s a natural impulse ☺️

Answer

You’re not wrong. All of my friends recently have had babies that look like their husbands. I’m so hoping I have the one baby who looks like her mommy! Also, I look like my dad’s sister so I’m hoping my little girl does not look like her daddy’s sister, because she is a bitch. 😂

Answer

Everyone on my husbands side looks the same! But everyone has had boys! I had a girl, the first born into the family in like 60+ yrs. she looks just like me except she has really curly hair! Everyone was shocked. Now my second girl looks like her daddy but my hair and skin color, but all her features are daddy. So now we are expecting a boy and I’m curious if he’s going to follow and look like all the other boys in my husbands family or be more like me 🤷🏼‍♀️ his family has some pretty strong genes but apparently mine are pretty strong too lol

Answer

My husband is Native American and I thought for sure our almost seven year old daughter would look just like him. 
Nope. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Though her hair type is far superior to mine. 
Hoping my son will have the dark hair/dark eyes. Genetics are weird as hell.

Answer

Post your 3d pic!!! Now I want to see lol! My girl is looking just like her dad! Has his lips completely. Am hoping the eyes are mine!

Answer

Me and hubby have a bet going on who she will look more like. He swears she will come out looking just like him. And I told him he has already used all his genes up and I have been saving mines for 30 years (he has 3 kids and his little girl is his spitting image). I think it’s fun speculating on who she will favor. Honestly I hope she has his teeth and his hair and his beautiful eyes but my freckles and my skin tone. Regardless she is going to be beautiful and so is your all’s baby.
