3rd Trimester

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!
