Poll: what physical features would you like your baby to inherit?

I know we all want healthy babies, but just for fun are there features of yours or your significant other that you hope the baby gets?
I hope my baby girl gets DH's hair and skin coloring. He has nice straight hair (something I've always wanted) and he tans very easily. From me, I hope she gets my eye shape and my petite frame. DH is 6'1 and a pretty big guy.
It's so much fun to think about what she'll look like! we'll see in about 4 months!

Re: Poll: what physical features would you like your baby to inherit?
Im hoping my little guy will have his daddy's height, he's 6'3 and Im 4'11.
Plus his daddy has such a wonderful, welcoming smile that I hope he also inherits.
This is a great post idea!!
I'd loooove if my little guy had DH's eyelashes, smile and build. He's always in great shape naturally.
I wouldn't mind if this kid had my nose. I like my nose.
My DH is tall and thin and has a jack rabbit metabolism, while I am short and round.. so I'd like my boys to be physically built like their daddy.
My DS has my nose and mouth and the overall shape of my face, but has his father's eyes, and looks just like him, even though more of his face is like mine, if that makes any sense at all. He's already pretty tall and slim, I hope he continues that way.
I also sort of hope that Gray looks like James a bit. I'm not really sure why I feel that way, other than sometimes James makes me melt a bit...
I hope my son gets...
From DH-His shoulders, arms, hands( he has them sexy manly hands : P )lips,nose,smile
From me-ears, hair, my fathers height. (: eye shape.
We both are very italian so we have darker skin tone, dark hair and dark eyes, so no surprise there ! lol
I hope he gets my husbands better-than-perfect vision, rather than my "I can't even see the eyechart".
I hope he has my dimples. I swear, these things saved my life a thousand times during childhood. My mother insists that I was born so cute just to manipulate her into letting me live long enough to grow up!
I hope he has the beautiful green eyes his big brother got, and the freckles his older sister has.
But we will see...he might not get any of that, but he will still be the cutest, sweetest, smartest thing I have ever seen! Or, at least, tied with his brother and sister.
I guess it'll depend on if this is a girl or a boy. In general, my features are very feminine and DH's are very masculine.
Regardless of sex, I hope the baby gets my blue eyes and lack of hairiness (I don't have much body hair and what I have is blonde, DH is pretty hairy!). I hope the baby gets DH's thick skin (my skin is very thin and wrinkles/scars/bruises easily) and his butt (seriously, his butt is amazing). Hmmm... that's all the gender-neutral physical characteristics I can think of.
I hope Little Man has my husband's lips, nose, and dimples and my hair.
According to the 3D ultrasound, he's going to look like Monsieur, which I'm totally fine with!
They do. I seriously look at the two of them every day in your siggy and just shake my head. It's crazy!
LOL, my DH has one dimple and I can't tell you how many of his classmates and old teachers have told me that he used to always say "You can't get mad at me, I have one dimple!" and then he'd smile and manage to get out of whatever trouble he was in.
I hope our girl gets DH height, sanity, and lack of allergies lol. Red hair and fiery attitude from me
I know not all are physical but the ones that are, are the important ones.
This is probably totally weird, but....
My husband has two dimples in his back, right above his butt. It shows just above his pants when he's shirtless.
I think they are sooooo adorable. So I hope our baby gets his "butt dimples".

I hope he gets my husband's eyes, ears and hair. I hope he gets my smile and mouth. I pray to God that he gets my MIL's nose and not my family's Italian one, especially my moms!
I also hope he gets my husband's height (6'1 as opposed to my 5'3) and build.
DH and I always joke that we hope the Bruce gets his nose (bc I have the awesome Greek nose) and my ears (bc DH's are so damn big) lol
I also hope DS has my skin tone since DH is Irish and sunburns so easily. He's also a pretty sweaty dude and quite moley (haha)
Oh, and DH's eye color but my shape.
That's all. I swear. lol
Ooh fun question!
We are both pretty short so Tegan is destined to be a dwarf too. We both have brown hair, green eyes, and pale skin. So I'm guessing she will most likely have those features. I hope she gets my eyes and nose, and DH's lips and teeth. He has perfect teeth and juicy lips. I definitely hope she gets my body type because DH and most of his family have always had to struggle with weight.
Awwe this is fun!
Umm, I'd def. love it if she inherited DHs eyes & eyelashes. He has hazel eyes and the girlies eyelashes I've ever seen. haha. Oh and his teeth! Very straight.
She can inherit everything else from me
haha.
I hope he gets my frame (DH has a huge rib cage and no butt) but masculine, my teeth, my chin, and my eye shape.
I guess it depends on whether we have a boy or girl on some things. But for either sex I'd like...
DH's lips and eyes.
My temperment, I'm super laid back and DH can have a temper. And sadly I think he passed that on to our son. I would settle for my eyes if we can't have DH's. Mine are hazel (brownish green). DH's are blueish green. DS has dark brown eyes.
I hope my LO gets my hair and my DH's eyes and skin coloring. And my DH's height. We're both pretty short, but he's taller, so
Other inheritances depend on whether it's a boy or a girl!
Haha, we talk about this all the time!
From DH, I hope she gets his bright blue eyes (mine are more dark blue), his long eyelashes, his more slender figure (he's very lean, I'm curvy), and his light blonde hair color.
From me, I hope she gets my smile and teeth, my small nose, and curly hair.
Baby is destined to have pale, sensitive skin, be tall, and blonde/blue eyed, so we have to be a little more specific
.
I hope that my little guy gets his dads height. And his dads eyes!
He has my nose, we could tell from the A/S.
Hubby's luscious full lips! My big eyes. His thick hair...minus the two cowlicks:) His complexion as he tans easlily and I just turn lobster! haha.
If it is a girl, my frame as I've never had to worry about what I eat. What a blessing. But if it is a boy...our poor child is just gonna be skinny! Both of us were twigs (I still am)...but the hubby through highschool was one of those skinny fellas that if the wind blew you thought they'd fall over. So, here to hoping that if Baby Seals is a boy, there will be some meat on him:)
I guess some things depend on whether we have a boy or a girl, but for either sex I hope they get some of DH's height (he's 6'2", I'm 5'4"), his bright blue eyes and fast metabolism.
Hopefully they'll get my straight teeth and nose, and my blonde hair.

I have the most dominant features. But my two boys inherited DH's ball cheeks when he smiles.
DS#1 inherited DH's long eyelashes, everything else is me...eyes, round button nose, eyebrows, extra. He has my darker latin skin color, and gets REALLY dark in the summer time. He's more of my side of the family. We are from Costa Rica. : )
DS#2 inherited the blond hair from my side of the family (DS#1 has light brown like me and DH), and is a good combo of the Grandfathers. As DS#2 gets older, he's starting to take on more and more of DH's features. He'll probably tall and slender like DH was, and then bulk up when he hits the end of high school/beginning of college...just like DH. He is more light skinned, but bronzes very nicely in the summer. DH's family is of German descent, but they aren't the fair skinned type. They TAN. : )
DS#3 on the way will be very interesting to see who he resembles more. I think he'll look like me at birth and as he gets older, will show more of his features.
I hope our baby girl has my hazel eyes and smile and DH dimples. I already know she has DH nose since I could tell from the 3D ultrasound image they gave us at the anatomy scan- how cool!
On a non-physical characteristic note- I hope she inherits my slight OCD about closets and organizing, in general. I have a thing about my closets/clothes being organized by color, sleeve length, etc. and all on matching hangers. I've been this way since I was teeny-tiny and I don't know where I got it from! But, I would kind of really like for her to be that way. Is that awful??? DH would probably think so!!!
