IL's and comments on who the baby will look like

I don't know why but it really gets under my skin when his parents say things like "she is going to look just like his sister" or we had a 3d/4d ultrasound done this weekend and they are already picking her features apart saying things like thats a his families nose, or BF's mouth. I feel like I'm just here to bake and birth the baby and my genes have nothing to do with her. So I am secretly hoping she looks so much like my family you can't deny it. his sister has a son and they think he looks so much like my BF. I don't see it, I think his nephew is a perfect mix of his mom and dad.

    I can see why that would be kind of annoying, but I guess it's better than the alternative....   the baby is born and his whole family says "hmmmm, she looks nothing like BF" while giving you the side-eye.... 

    Crap, I think I've been watching too much Maury!

    lol... my IL are just saying that she's going to be beautiful... but my DH swears she's going to look just like him. He picked apart a regular ultrasound picture!! lol. Trust... she'll be beautiful! And she will have as much of you in her as her dad... even if its just her personality! :) No worries!

    I like to joke around with H and tell him he's going to look like the nanny.  hehehe

    Then he told me I'd look like the nanny (joking around) and I kind of freaked for a moment.  I know I have the dominant genes and I have always assumed the baby will look like me.  If it were to go the other way, I'm not gonna lie, I'd be really really sad.

    I completely understand. I think my ILs will do the SAME thing because they do it to their other niece and nephew all the time. I hope ur child looks like a combination, but my DH has more dominant features...I think it is the most annoying when the baby is JUST born...because they kind of all look the same at that point!
