Who do you want your future "bump" to be?

I have been spending so much time thinking about getting pregnant, but tonight I was thinking about who this kid of ours will be someday. (Yes, I eat crackers with my cheese.) For fun, what traits would you like your future kiddo to have?
From me, I'd love to pass along a love of reading and a passion for learning. From DH, I'd love to see his wicked sense of humor and his calmness in the storm approach to anything. And in general, I'd like to teach my child to be compassionate.

Re: Who do you want your future "bump" to be?
Hopefully our child has my red hair! Lol. In all honesty, I hope our child takes after me when it comes to being able to get along with anyone, my practicality, and my drive.
From my DH, I hope he or she definitely get his artistic ability and his love of the outdoors.
Both DH and I have amazing relationships with our parents and I can't wait to have that as well. We both are compassionate, practical, and we come from common courtesy.
I would want my children to inherit my DH's determination and intelligence and my goofy attitude and curiousity.
Edit to say, I want to pass on our nerdiness, too!
From DH: I want him/her to have his bravery and work ethic.
I want them to have high selfesteem and I want to teach them to not worry about what everyone else thinks.
After having a pregnancy where my baby had a high risk of serious developmental problems, I just want a healthy baby!
But I hope we can teach our LO a sense of humility because I really think most of the world's problems stem from lack of humility.
Fun question!
I would love to pass on my (mostly) positive outlook, my ambition, my 'drop-everything' love for my family, and my blue eyes. Also my hair...he has CRAZY curly hair lol.
DH husband and I both want to pass on our love of animals and camping.
I would love my husband to pass on his quiet slightly shy personality and his intelligence. Also his craziness about cleanliness and organization would be fantastic!! I definatly don't have that gene lol.
I hope s/he gets my 20/20 vision and his/her father's straight teeth, immune system, spatial skills, amazing concentration, and curly hair. Also I hope my LOs don't have to deal with the same anxiety issues I did.
I'm cool with whoever my future children decide to take after, unless it's my husband's sister...oh man, that would be the worst.
From me I'd like baby to have my sense of humor and love for animals.
From DH I'd like baby to have his sense of direction, work ethic and good looks.
I hope our child learns how to get along with everyone from the both of us.
I love this question!
From me: my curly hair, my love of reading, my compassion/empathy for others
From DH: his red hair, his wit, his laid back personality
From both of us: our intelligence, our loyalty to friends and family
What I don't want to pass on: my anxiety, my short temper, his pickiness of food
The only things that really matter to me are that our children are curious and willing to explore the world around them, compassionate and kind towards both people and animals, and that whatever they end up doing in life, they are content.
For the rest of it, it's fun to imagine, but I really look forward to being surprised.
I'd love them to have my confidence, blue eyes and maybe a little bit of my stubbornness
I hope they have my husband's metabolism, intelligence and his ability to be relaxed and calm about everything.
Most of all, I hope that they're kind.
I would like to pass on my love for writing, reading, and nerdiness. Lol
My husband would like to pass on his health, compassion, and love of games.
All in all, I just want them to be healthy and happy in their future life.
From me I would want him or her to be ccompassionate and drive to want to help others and also my blue eyes :
From DH I would want him or her to have his intelligence and his personality
Also DH and I are very close to our families I pray that our children can share that with us as well.
We have a son and I see so many traits from both of us. They keep developing more and more as he grows! The not so fun traits (stubbornness, sleeplessness) those are always attributed to DH
For my son and future children I want them to just be happy and healthy! I want them to be strong in their faith and have compassion for others. No matter what path they go down later in life I want them to enjoy the journey and I want them to appreciate close relationships with family.
I would also love for my husband to pass on his amazingly blue eyes as well
From me- My compassion. I also think I'm empathetic.
From DH- His intelligence and ability to remain calm under pressure.
In general- I want to teach my child to be confident. I was never that way growing up and it definitely held me back in certain areas.
I always wonder what our child will look like too. We both have dark brown/black hair, I have green eyes, and DH has bluish green eyes.
I really like this question!
Married my best friend 10/12/12
TTC 1 since 10/12
NTNP Fall 2013 to focus on a healthier lifestyle
From me- My ambition, open mindedness, patience, and love of books
From my husband- His sense of humor, work ethic, loyalty, and confidence. Definitely don't want our LO to get his road rage.
I hope my LO is able to treat others and himself/herself well.
I want future baby teal owl to have my love for animals, 80s music, compassion and empathy. And to be generous. Get my sense of humor. Be the friend whose shoulder you can cry on. And my freckles and my nose and my straight teeth. :]
From s/o, his dark curly hair and green eyes. His sense of humor. His loud laugh. His tallness. His work ethic.
Both our sarcasms.
"Your truth is different from my truth, and we're both right."
TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
I think about this sometimes too. I hope our baby gets my non-judgmental spirit. I really can see the positive in everyone and put myself in their shoes to understand why they do what they do. I love learning about people and how the mind works (Psych was my major). I hope my LO has that love to learn and explore, no matter what the subject.
From my DH I hope they get his extreme patience. That man is the most patient human being I have ever met - he's wonderful!
It'll be fun to watch them grow and see their personality shine through. That really is a gift to see in my niece and nephews. I am so excited for it to be that much more special when it's my child.
From me I would like our kids to get my big blue eyes, thick brown hair, compassion, creativity, leadership, and wits.
From DH I would love to see them have his full lips, his sense of humor, his financial smarts, his musical talent, and his laugh.
In general I want them to be kind, compassionate individuals who love life, love God, and love people.
I love this, Hatchet!
No lie, this is one of the games me and DH like to play together. We say the things about the other we hope our kids get- it's a really nice way to compliment each other and know what the other person really appreciates about you.
Hmmm.....I would love to give my child my love of reading and learning, my empathy for others and the big, squishy cheeks I had as a child:
I mean, I was one cute flucking kid, right?
From DH, his blue eyes (not a big chance of that), his confidence and determination, his bravery and deep loyalty to those he cares about. I am also so excited to potentially see him be an amazing male role model to any sons we have- we are gonna raise some kick-azz feminist future husbands for some lucky person.
From my H: his kindness, his lovely blue eyes, his patience, and his ability to deal calmly with complexity. Not his red hair tho, I want the child to be able to go out in the sun without bursting into flames. F'reelz.
From me: My straight teeth, my tenacity, my fierceness, my love of books, and a quick wit. And if it's a girl, please lord, do not curse her with giant knockers. They're a pain.
I'm late to the party but I really wanted to take the time to answer this one.
I hope that all of our children have my love of reading and both of our musical inclinations. Hopefully they get my book smarts and daddy's street smarts
I hope they get my friendliness and tact and DH's super laid back attitude. Most of all I want them to be happy and healthy.
Physically, I just hope they are a mixture of both of us and that at least one gets my green eyes
^^This exactly. Compassion towards people and animals is huge for me, but how fun would it be to have a kid who's so curious about the world that YOU learn new things about it too?!
