I would give DD the following....
DH's thick hair
DH's work ethic
DH's beautiful teeth
My skin
My metabolism
My sense of humor
DS's sleeping habits
DS's loving/sweet demeanor
If LO doesn't have DH's gorgeous, thick, red hair I'm going to be so sad! But DH will be pleased, he hates having red hair.
Other than that, I hope she gets her daddy's metabolism and good skin, a relaxed outlook and good sleep habits from the both of us, and a logical brain and at least mediocre athletic ability from me (I'm no superstar but I at least participated in sports in school; DH did not). I also hope she gets a more outgoing personality from me and none of DH's social anxiety issues.

S14 September Siggy - Show to binge-watch when the baby comes
DH's teeth/smile, work ethic, charm/charisma, sense of style (he's better at picking outfits than I am, usually)
My eyes/nose/lips (I've said before I hope she's a mini-me, but DH never needed braces so I really hope she gets his teeth), athletic tendencies, joints (DH has bad joints), metabolism, love of sleep
Our sense of humor, love of travel/architecture/culture/food
My dad's skin (DH and I are so pale, my dad has olive-ish undertones and doesn't burn quite so easily).
I think it would be really cool if she got red hair from my mom, but idk how likely that is. I have a lot of red tones in my hair, so I'm hoping it's at least a possibility.
MIL's sensitivity to the emotional climate of a situation. She's really good at reading a situation and knowing when to back off or change the subject, but as she's gotten older she doesn't use that skill as often as she could.
FIL's curiosity for new information. He's always learning something new and wanting to share it with us.
DH's calm demeanor DH as a newborn (apparently he was perfect, I on the other hand was a nightmare, apparently) DH's sense of adventure DH's sense of humor Both of our height - there's only one short side of the family in this equation and it's DH's dad's side I don't want this kid to be the only short cousin DH's dark hair - I always have had dirty bronde hair and would have preferred it either be really dark or really light. So, I'd love to have a dark haired baby. Both of our love of outdoors Both of our ability to have fun anywhere My work ethic Baby can have dad's ability to sleep for an entire day until he or she is in school, and then I hope they grow out of it...unlike dad My dance ability... DH's dimples DH's smile
DH's intelligence, he is seriously the smartest person I've ever met.. I have no idea how he got stuck with me.
My ability to socialize
DH's metabolism
My hair (we hope she's a ginger, but she probably won't be)
My work ethic
DH's ability to let go of anxiety, I'm a worry wart
Both our super caring natures. DH and I are both givers.
Her aunt's ability to form strong and informed opinions, and still not judge others who don't share them.
Her grandmother's ability to love endlessly.
DH's hazel eyes
DH's nose, because his sister has it and it looks adorable on her so I can't stop picturing this one without it. My skin, no too dry, not too oily, not prone to break outs (except evidently during pregnancy).
Blue eyes. Though DH's green eyes would probably totally make me melt. Blonde hair. Beautiful smile. Happy, outgoing, social, flirt baby. Smart and creative. Silly.
I hope she is a better sleeper than DS. I look really forward to seeing how her and her brother get along. Will she be a pretty princess type girl or will she be spunky, tough chick who gets into more trouble than her brother.
