Sorry if this has been done. I hadn't seen anything like it.
If you got to choose the physical characteristics for your LO from between you and your SO, whose would you choose?
Eyes:
Hair:
Smile:
Feet:
Overall Body Type:
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have?
Re: S/O Traits for LO
Eyes: Either, I think we are equal on the eye front
Hair: Me
Smile: Me
Feet: DH for sure
Overall Body Type: Either
If you got to choose the physical characteristics for your LO from between you and your SO, whose would you choose?
Eyes: DH's
Hair: DH's
Smile: DH's
Feet: Mine
Overall Body Type: Mine
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I hope he has a butt. My DH doesn't have one and his pants are always falling down. It's almost like a frog wearing pants. MIL says that she had a hard time with diapers for him because they wouldn't stay up.
Eyes: DH - though, we both have blue, his are just a brighter blue.
Hair: Mine. I had Shirley Temple curls as a baby - and I want that for LO. Though, DH has a slightly better natural color (light blonde as opposed to dirty blonde).
Smile: Mine.
Feet: Um, neither? Mine are tiny, DH's are huge - a normal foot would be nice.
Overall Body Type: Combination - he's really lean, and I'm really curvy - so the right combination and baby girl could be a total knockout!
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? If she could have DH's eyelashes, I'd be thrilled!
Eyes: Definitely DH
Hair: Either
Smile: Me
Feet: Me
Overall Body Type: Me
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I want her to have DH's ears - mine stick out WAY too much. Oh, and his nose, mine is pointy and crooked (it wasn't crooked from birth, that's from breaking it a few times, but it is too pointy).
Eyes: Baby will have blue eyes because we both have them, but I hope LO has DH color because his are a beautiful light blue.
Hair: either
Smile: mine
Feet: mine...DH has a second toe that is longer than the first
Overall Body Type: DH...he is 6'4'' and pretty slender
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? DH's sense of humor...he always makes me laugh!!
Eyes: DH has beautiful green/hazel eyes that I would love LO to have
Hair: my hair is thicker than DH, so I would say mine
Smile: doesn't matter
Feet: we have similar feet - the toe next to the big toe is longer...we've already seen on ultrasounds that LO has the same feet!
Overall Body Type:a good combo of both
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have?
I hope LO gets good teeth like me! I could've gone without braces, but my parents wanted me to get them to fix a teeeeeeny misalignment. I also hope LO gets my eyesight - no glasses! Another one...I want LO to get my taste/abilities in music...poor DH can't keep a beat or hold a note to save his life. I've been slowly influencing LO from the womb to have a preference for The Beatles :-P
Eyes: Me. But there's not much of a chance of that since DH and everyone in his family has brown eyes and I have blue.
Hair: I would love for him to be blonde as a child, like me, but then I would like him to have DH's dark brown hair in adulthood instead of my "dishrag" blonde. Is that asking too much?
Smile: Either would be great. DH has better lips.
Feet: Goodness gracious, MINE!
Overall Body Type: DH's. I'm very womanly and curvy, he'd look weird with my body type. DH has a naturally muscular and broad physique which I loovvvveee.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? Hmmm... my small forhead, DH's nose & eyebrows, DH's complexion.
Eyes: Monsieur and I have the same color eyes almost exactly, so it's a moot point
Hair: Mine, as it's darker and silkier than his
Smile: His (I don't like my smile)
Feet: Mine! Monsieur has Hobbit feet.
Overall Body Type: Monsieur's. The man eats stacks of Reeses Peanut Butter cups for breakfast followed by Doritos for lunch and Taco Bell for dinner and still looks like he goes to the gym... I hate that m0therfvcker.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have?: Daddy's lips and nose and my hands (only, you know, more masculine... but I have good hands). Based on 3-D ultrasounds, it's looking good!
Eyes: I would like for him to have big eyes like mine. Both my Dad and DH's mom have blue/green eyes, so there is a chance for him to have them as well.
Hair: Both DH and I have natural wave/curl to our hair and I don't care if he has brown hair or blonde, doesn't matter
Smile: I think we both equally have nice smiles, so either. I think it will be hard to actually tell on this one who he takes after....
Feet: Oh dear I hope he gets my feet!!! DH's 2nd & 3rd toes are the same height and longer than his big toe!
Overall Body Type: DH for sure! He has always been able to maintain a very lean and muscular body type very easily. I would love for LO to have his body type!
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I hope he gets my eye brows.....we have to tame DH's to make sure they do not shake hands and become 1 eye brow! What will I do if my tiny human has a catapillar on his forehead?!?!?!
HAHA me & DH both have junk in the trunk!!! One of my favorite features about him is his bubble butt!!!
Hair: I think dark hair would be so handsome, but if he gets my blondish color, that's cute, too
Smile: My smile is bigger than DH's, so I'll say mine
Feet: oh, definitely DH! His arches are soooo much nicer than mine!
Overall Body Type: well, since LO is boy, I should hope he takes after his dad! But he could have my leg>torso length and look okay.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? DH has these faint freckles on his forearms that I think would be cute....and he could have my cleft chin.
Actually it's not too much to ask, it can happen! I was a toe head when I was young and it turned to dirty blonde. DH was blonde as a little boy and his gradually turned to brown! He has had brown hair since......around 9th grade?
Eyes: DH - He has blue eye and I have hazel eyes. I like mine, but I'm really a fan of blue.
Hair: Me
Smile: DH
Feet: Me
Overall Body Type: Me, even though we're both fairly thin people, so our body type is pretty similar.
Eyes: Definitely H -- I love his eyes, they're hazel. Mix of a nice warm brown and olive green colors. Mine are boring light blue (everyone on my side of the family has blue eyes and I'm bored with it...Haha)
Hair: Don't really have a major preference, but again it would be cool to have something different - on my side it's mostly all light hair so if he got H's dark hair that would be neat
Smile: Mine - my teeth are straight and never needed braces, so if we could avoid that cost that would be nice lol...
Feet: Doesnt matter to me...my feet are kind of square shaped though ...which is good in some ways because they're not odd looking with random toes longer than others, but not so great because they're a little wider, so sometimes it's hard to fit things. My H rarely has his socks or shoes off so I don't really know what his feet look like by memory, sadly enough lol... Even after 10 years of being together...but I think they're pretty normal. He hates feet, doesnt like touching them or seeing them, hence why he keeps them covered up. Weirdo.
Overall Body Type: Well I'm having a Son so I definitely don't want him getting my curvy small waist-wide hipped shape! lol...really though, H's is fine.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I kind of hope he'll inherit more of my H's skintone too....I'm extremely fair skinned and burn/freckle easily...Even if I wanted to tan in the sun, my skin completely rejects it. I don't want him to have to deal with that frustration... my H has a nice light toasty complexion thanks to his small doses of spanish/native/mexican background.
I am pale with red hair and green eyes- all recessive traits and DH is tan with dark hair and brown eyes- all dominant traits. So chances are pretty good that LO is going to look like DH which I would love!
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Very dark brown/black
Smile: Hopefully we don't need braces!
Feet: Average
Overall Body Type: DH and I are both average height/build.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? DH has awesome curly hair and I would loooove it LO gets his curly hair!
Hair: We are about the same with boring medium brown, so doesn't matter.
Smile: I think my lips would look a bit weird on a boy, but I like both of our smiles. Though if he has teeth like either of us, he will have braces (I had, DH didn't and it definitely is noticeable but not horrible)
Feet: Don't have a preference. I love my feet but DH also has nice feet. But, I love having really large (but still graceful looking) hands (really, had to become either a surgeon or piano player with these and my lack of musical ability ruled out piano) so I guess that would be good.
Overall Body Type: Neither, really. We both tend towards being a bit overweight and I wish our child wouldn't ever have an issue with weight.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? DH legs (my legs/feet turn in and caused issues as a teenager). My nose. Not that DH nose is bad in any way, I just like mine.
Thanks! This thread actually made me feel great about all the parts of my body that I do really like a lot. Easy to forget these days.
Eyes: I think I'd choose my eye shape but DH's eye color
Hair: Mine. I wish LO would get curly hair, but both of us have stick straight!
Smile: DH's. I can't help but smile when he grins at me!
Feet: We both have kind of ugly feet, but since we're having a boy I choose DH's type of ugly feet.
Overall Body Type: DH. Strong with super fast metabolism
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? My DH has those butt dimples on his lower back- I love those.

IVF #5 2/2013 = N born 10/10/13 at 35w3d
Eyes: His. Mine are just plain dark brown, is are green with a slight brown tint.
Hair: More mine. We have the same color but when his gets a little long it's curly, mine's naturally stick straight.
Smile: Either one. He's got a sweet/innocent smile. Mine is nicer just because I had braces and have straighter teeth
Feet: Mine. His have neuropathy from diabetes and the tips of his toes are weirdly shaped. I have slender feet but with long/skinny toes. According to her U/S, she already has big feet like me
Overall Body Type: Probably mine. I'm "average" height but very long and slender features. He's tall and more stocky.
Eyes: I hope she has my eyes. more interesting than DH's.His are brown.Mine change depending on my mood-sometimes green, sometimes grey.Plus they have a strange slant to them...DH calles them my Genghis Khan eyes(eventhough I'm a total white girl!!)
Hair: DH!! mine is thin and his is beautiful, thick and brown
Smile: either or.
Feet:Mine.DH has strange toes
Overall Body Type: either or. Although he's more athletic...
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? My nose!!! Hubby has a big nose...
And if it's possible-my little sister's skin. she's got perfect skin!
Hair: Mine bc DH is balding. lol
Smile: Mine
Feet: Def mine. lol
Overall Body Type: Either or. DH and I both hove thunder thighs and even at the last u/s the tech said that our baby did too. Poor guy, hehehe
We also always joke that he hopefully has my ears and DH's nose. If he has my nose and DH's ears.. I don't even know. lol
Eyes: I love DH's eyes. They get all squinty and cresent moon shaped when he smiles. Mine are good too, but they don't do cute things like his does so I would want her to get his eyes.
Hair: My hair. DH doesn't have much.
Smile: I already know she has his grumpy frown so I'm sure she'll get his beautiful smile too. I like my smile so either one will be fine with me.
Feet: DH has very large feet so I hope she'll get my little feet.
Overall Body Type: I'm short and stubby, DH is long and lean. I hope she's a good mix of both so she'll be able to find clothes that fit well. Both of us have issues finding well fitting clothes.
Eyes: DHs or mine
Hair: DH's curls, my color
Smile: either
Feet: either
Overall Body Type: DH's body is much sturdier and wiry-er than mine but I would like him to get a little bit of my extra height to get him up to 6'2
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I love H's nose but the only trait of mine he really wants baby to inherit from me is my nose. I actually don't much care. My husband is hot and any way my kid looks like him will be a benefit.
Eyes: Me! I have light blue eyes and love them!
Hair: A mix of both. My husband is african-american and got lucky enough to have the "good hair" lol but it was extremely dark. I am hoping our little girl has light brown hair and maybe a combo of his texture and mine. Plus his had some curl (he has no hair now lol) and mine is stick straight and I would love our little girl to have curly hair.
Smile: His def! I don't really have a good smile, I have a hard time smiling for pictures and as a result, now hate getting my picture taken lol
Feet: Either would be fine. For a man, my husband has feminine feet that are perfectly shaped and groomed. I don't really mind looking at them or even touching them if/when I give him a foot massage (they are really that nice lol). I have big feet (size 10) but I never minded...
Overall Body Type: Def my husband! He is one of those insanely blessed people with a super fast metabolism (even still at the age of 30). He can eat whatever, whenever he wants and he doesn't gain weight. Yet when he works out, he is able to get some good muscle tone and has wonderful abs. lol...me on the other hand, ive never been overweight, but at the same time, Ive always played sports and stayed active. I think if I slowed down, I might gain weight and it wouldn't look too pretty lol. Oh and def my husbands complexion...he is light-skinned and its like toasty color similar to a native american skin tone and its so beautiful and would look great it LO had my blue eyes! (I know wishful thinking) lol
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? We both have dimples on our cheeks and I always loved mine so I hope LO gets them too. And I hope our little girl gets my height. I am 5'8"...so on the taller side for a girl and my family tends to be in the higher 5's to the 6ft range, but my husbands family tends to be shorter (DH is 5'10" and he is the tallest) so I just hope she is tall
Eyes: We both have pretty nice blue eyes, so I think she is set in that category!
Hair: DH - He's blond, I'm boring brunette
Smile: Mine, I guess. I've been told that I have great lips.
Feet: Neither? Either way, she'll be having great big feet.
Overall Body Type: Probably mine, the women on DH's side of the family have large hips & butts
Nose: DH - He has a cute nose, mine I don't care for as much
I forgot about this! I hope LO has DH's eyesight, his is ridiculously good! And I'm dying for lasik because I'm tired of glasses and contacts!
eyes: DH's hazel eyes
Hair: Either, we have the same hair color.
Smile: Either
Feet: Mine
Overall Body Type: DH has runners legs and are very nice. I get more toned/muscular if I work out enough.
Now that I think about it, our boys have a good mix of mine and DH's best features. So, I'm pretty sure DS3 will be a good looker. : D
DH and I both have pretty shapely bums (though mine isn't as cute as it once was...) so LO will hopefully be all set in that area! The only thing is if he gets my DAD's side's butt! Then he'll be flat bummed! So hopefully round butts are recessive. LOL

Memorize a very hungry caterpillar? Seriously though, this is too funny to picture!!!
Eyes: I'd love for her to have blue eyes because I have blue eyes. DH's dad also has blue eyes but I'm betting she'll have caramel brown eyes like DH.
Hair: She'll probably have darker hair than mine, maybe as dark as DH's.
Smile: I hate my smile so I hope she get's DH's
Feet: Mine for sure. they are slim and little. DH's feet are very wide and paddle like
Overall Body Type: Mine only because she's a girl. DH has the biggest thigh muscles I have ever seen.
Complexion: DH's, He's got such pretty skin color.
Facial appearance: I think she'll look like a mini DH.
Teeth: Mine, because they are straight with no braces.
Nose: DH's. I love his nose!
Eyes: His, they are beautiful and green as grass!
Hair: Mine, thick, long, and healthy...no grays like his
Smile: Mine, never had a cavity.
Feet: His...he has beautiful feet, even though they are a size 14.
Overall Body Type: His. tall slender and fit.
Eyes: DH for sure. He has blueish green eyes. Mine are Greenish brown and somehow DS1 ended up with Dark Brown. So I'm hoping DS2 has light eyes.
Hair: Me. DH (and DS1) have this hair color that's kind of hard to categorize. I guess it's like Dirty/Ash blonde. But I never know what color to call it. Because it's not really blonde or brown. My original color is like Med. brown.
Smile: My smile but DH's lips. Which is what DS1 has. And I think it's a good combo.
Feet: Mine. DH's toes are all jacked up.
Overall Body Type: DH. I want him to be tall like DH. I'm a shorty.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I'd like him to have DH's ears. Because I hate mine. And DH's nose too. I'd like him to have my complexion. I can count on one hand the number of zits I had as a teen. While DH had acne from his teen years until his late 20's.
If you got to choose the physical characteristics for your LO from between you and your SO, whose would you choose?
Eyes: We have identical blue eyes so I think were good there.
Hair: HIS
Smile: HIS
Feet: HIS
Overall Body Type: HIS
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? I say all HIS because we are having a boy and I can think of nothing more adorable than having a little mini of my husband running around. I would love it if he came out looking just like him. Based on the 4D u/s I think this lil guy will get my nose and then be a clone of H.
Eyes: Mine
Hair: This little guy, DH. If we have a girl, I'd love for her to have my color (red) and DH's curls.
Smile: DH
Feet: Mine
Overall Body Type: Mine I guess, neither is really a win, lol.
Anything else special (physically) from one of you that you'd like LO to have? DH's one dimple.
Ooh...
Eyes: either one---I have green & DH has blue. (although DD got his eyes, so maybe this time would be nice to get mine!)
Hair: Probably mine---I have straight, baby fine hair. DH's is super curly, but I love it on DD.
Smile: I'm going with my dad on this one. He has one dimple on the right side that only he & all the grandchildren inherited. I hope DS gets the same one.
Feet: DH---he has great toe nails! (I always want to paint them, but he never lets me! lol)
Overall body type: DH----he is tall & thin, along with most of his side of family. My side is all on the shorter side (with me only being 5' 2") and chubby.
Anything else---hopefully DS gets my DH's calf muscles. lol My DH & FIL love to compare theirs whenever they get together, so it will be nice to throw another male into that competition. My DD has some nice muscles already though---so they are in for some heat!!
