Build-Your-Baby

Just a little game that my DH and I like to play. We pick certain things out from ourselves and one another that we would want our LO to inherit. And laugh over the unfortunate things they could get from us! 

LO should definitely get my ....
LO should definitely get DH's
Poor thing if LO gets .... 
LO will probably .... 

Here's my build-a-baby:
LO should definitely get my ....hair. I have awesome thick luscious hair. And my nose. Way cuter than DH's big slavic nose! Haha!
LO should definitely get DH's ... blue eyes but sadly my brown-eyed dominant genes will muddy that wish. 
Poor thing if LO gets ... my double chin! No matter how slim I am , i always have a slight double chin! Haha! Additionally, DH's big bushy eyebrows if LO is a girl. She would have to constantly pluck and wax them. 
LO will probably .... be quite tall as I'm tall for an Asian woman and DH is over 6 foot tall. And LO will probably be super loud like the both of us are.

Re: Build-Your-Baby

  • This is a hilarious game! I did this with my DH when were pregnant the first time around. Everything came out the other way around... Thank God. Our DD is way cuter than we would've ever thought! That said, I am still up for another round, so here goes:

    LO should definitely get my eyes. I love my DH, but I think I have him beat with the eyes. (I have light brown eyes compared to his almost black. Also mine are bigger. Ha!)
    LO should definitely get DH's nose. I love his nose. Very strong and straight. Mine is a little more upturned and flat. Blah. 
    Poor thing if LO gets my flat boring hair. I wake up and it looks exactly the same as the end of the day. Meh.
    LO will probably be way cuter than we could predict. We're lousy at this guessing game!

  • I have brown eyes and my DS has thee most beautiful blue-gray eyes! So you never know! I thought for sure he'd have brown eyes.
    As far as this baby: I hope he doesn't get my DH'S ears or nose. Yikes. Lol!! Or his eyebrows.. oh man.. I hope it just looks like me. Haha my poor husband!
  • Also, my husband is mexican so my baby will hopefully be born with a beautiful head of hair and awesome skin tone!
  • LO should definitely get my smile. DH literally can't smile with teeth, it's hilarious.
    LO should definitely get DH's hair. His hair is dark, thick, shiny, strong, and just beautiful. He uses nothing but shampoo on it, that jerk.
    Poor thing if LO gets our hairy genes. Sadly, we're both hairy people. We're both also very quick to build muscle, so I keep joking that our baby is going to come out looking like an Arnold Schwarzenegger/Chewbacca hybrid.
    LO will probably be adorable. From what I've seen, we were both cute babies. :)

    Baby should definitely get my skin. Poor DH still has acne like middle schooler. And some of the zits on his back are so big and painful it hurts to lay down =(

    I hope baby gets DHs head size. My head is huge!!! Or baby gets DHs height. I'm pretty short (with a big head haha)

    Poor thing if baby gets my athletic ability. Yikes!!

    Baby will probably have bad vision. Both DH and I had glasses pretty young. But the eyes will be pretty to look at - his are green and mine are blue!

  • Yay! This is fun! DH and I are both tall and sort of unattractively skinny. He calls me stringbean, so we keep imagining that our baby is going to be freakishly long and not so much with the adorable rolls.

    I would love if baby had my hair color (dark brown) but straight like DH's with my DH's beautiful blue eyes and long lashes. My eyes are hazel so who knows what will happen? I love DH's whole face so I'd be ok with a clone! Lol.
  • LO should definitely get my .... Laid back personality! DH is too high strung!

    LO should definitely get DH's work ethic, he's always moving and ready to get something done.

    Poor thing if LO gets .... My feet! Ehh.

    LO will probably .... Be stubborn, DH and I both are :/
  • LO should definitely get my .... sense of humor.  DH only thinks he's funny.
    LO should definitely get DH's...patience. 
    Poor thing if LO gets .... my metabolism
    LO will probably .... be a huge drama queen like his/her mother and brother.

  • LO should get my...legs. I have muscular legs and dh has chicken legs. Ha. Also my immune system. It is aces.

    LO should get dh's...skin tone. I'm pure white and he has great olive skin. Also his metabolism. He eats constantly and struggles to keep weight on. Lucky.

    Poor thing if LO gets dh's teeth. He was born without 12 adult teeth which has caused him to deal with 10 years of braces followed by a mouthful of caps and a lifetime of expensive issues and maintenance. It's horrible.

    LO will probably be as stubborn as we both are...which is going to be a major problem!
  • My build-a-baby:

    LO should definitely get my intelligence. Poor DH is a product of homeschooling gone wrong and has so many gaps in his learning!

    LO should definitely get DH's empathy and compassion. I truly hope this baby sees the good in everyone like DH does.

    Poor thing if LO gets either of our noses!

    LO will probably be short. We're 5'2" and 5'9" so poor thing doesn't stand a chance!
  • LO should definitely get my skin (DH is so pale that he glows on the beach and the man cannot tan to save his life, plus he had acne growing up - poor guy), my height (I'm taller than DH by 2"), and my brains (sorry DH - you're no slouch by any means but the truth is the truth)

    LO should definitely get DH's blue eyes and dimples (so freaking adorable - plus DH has 20/20 whereas I'm blind), DH's nose (mine is too strong and Athenian - bleck), and DH's kindness (he beats me in that department by a mile)

    Poor thing if LO gets DH's ears (I love them but they are legit huge - I have teeny tiny ears so we always joke that our kids should have normal size ones) or my feet (size 10W BEFORE pregnancy - this is going to be a disaster)

    LO will probably be very curious (both DH and I are and were as children) and even tempered (again, just like DH and I)

  • LO should definitely get my...eyes. There one of my best features. Pale grayish-blue-green. 

    LO should get DH's...hair (mostly the original color - he's gone mostly gray - and the curls) and creative talent. 

    Poor thing...if LO gets my social anxiety or huge feet.

    LO will probably...be tall. I'm 5'10 and DH is 6' 2".

    So much fun!! :)

    -LO should definitely get my teeth!
    -LO should definitely get DH's brown eyes and dark hair! (DS has my blue eyes which works for him cause he's a little ginger baby, but this time I have my fingers crossed for a dark headed, dark eyed LO!)
    -poor thing if LO gets my complexion (I have always had awful skin/acne/yuckiness)
    -LO will probably be frickin adorable because our DS is possibly the cutest child ever to live and breathe so clearly we make good babies. (Proof given in photos) (please forgive me just going totally AW on this tread)
  • LO should get my blue eyes. DH's are brown, sometimes hazel. Still pretty, but they don't beat blue. And if it's a girl, hopefully she'll get my body type that I got from my mom. Also, my compassion for helping others.

    LO should get DH's olive undertoned skin. Mine is very pale and I've always burned so easily. Also, his work ethic and sense of humor are amazing.

    Poor LO will probably be a hairy beast, since both of us are pretty hairy (even though mine is blonde).

    LO will probably be a little stubborn, but way cuter than we could've ever imagined.

    @leenziepops‌ I am no genetic expert but I think if you have a recessant blue gene your baby could still have blue eyes. Mine are blue and DH's are hazel but he has a brother with blue and a brother with brown. (And I'm
    99.9% sure none of them belong to the mailman) And DD has blue eyes!

    This LO should get DH's eyes so we have one with each of our eye colors, his frame (tall and lean--I am short and stocky), and his laid back attitude. DD is very stubborn so I would love an easy baby this time around :)

    This LO should get my nose and just some of my features in general. DD looked just like DH when she was born!

    Poor LO if she gets either of our teeth. We are on the high dental plan for a reason. But, we never had braces so hopefully no orthodontia needed!

    Just based on ultrasound, we will probably have a cooperative, laid-back baby! Woo hoo!

  • Ohhh I wanna play!

    She should definitely get my eyes. DH has nice eyes too--they're a cool grey-blue, but his eyes are small. Mine are almond-cat shaped and hazel. The only feature I get complimented on, erally.
    She should definitely get DH's EYELASHES. HOLY HELL. They're thick, perfectly curled, dark and beautiful. All the boys in his family have them. Hope she gets those bad boys.
    Poor thing if she gets...BOTH OF OUR GIGANTIC CALVES! Hahaha, it's the weirdest thing. Both DH and I have HUGE calves. I was just born with them, and he probably built them up from being a larger dude (not fat, just big) and playing soccer his whole life. It's crazy, I've been asked by strangers if I've had implants. I used to hate them, now I'm over it. Our little girl is probably cursed. I just want her to be able to wear tall boots, OK? 

    I think she will probably be pretty darn cute. Can't wait!

  • LO should definitely get my eyes. I love green eyed babies!
    LO should definitely get DH's curly hair. I think kids with curls are perfect! lol No matter anything else!
    Poor thing if LO gets DH's feet. ICK, that man has terrible feet. Or my 'Bousquet butt', all the girls in my mom's family have huge hips. It could be a blessing but it's mostly a curse. =P
    LO will probably be our middle child and thus need extra attention and love to feel appreciated. In our hopes and dreams we have more than two kids, so this little pip will probably a mixture of all the things we expect and therefore unwittingly ignore. That's how middle children perceive themselves, isn't it? =P

    I definitely paid attention in biology and sadly we have a loooooooong trail of dark brown eyes. Only Chinese or Vietnamese blood going way back unless someone had a naughty something with the blue eyed postman ;)

  • LO should definitely get my outgoing attitude! I love shy kids but I would love if someone was as outgoing as me!

    LO should definitely get DH's brown eyes or his little nosey!(that's what I call his little nose lmao)

    Poor thing if LO gets my husbands huge bubble butt!!

    LO will probably look identical to my husband (his family all look alike it's really really weird but his mothers side has STRONG genes & his dad and mom kinda look the same!)
    image
  • Is it wrong to hope this baby looks like my 1st born?? This baby should have black shiny hair like my hubby and daughter, hazel eyes like my son and me, skin like my hubby and daughter that looks tan year round, and definitely not my husband's calves....they are non existent!
  • Also, my husband is mexican so my baby will hopefully be born with a beautiful head of hair and awesome skin tone!

    My DDs father is Indian, she came out with blonde hair, blue green eyes, and light skin. She is almost 11 and still looks exactly like me. Only differences is she is tall and very slim like her father and gets a really great tan in the summer!

    My LO should have BFs eye color but my shape, my nose and hair. Hopefully tall like BF but have an athletic build like me. Hopefully LO doesn't get BFs HUGE head or hairiness, or my tiny hand feet and legs:-/

  • LO should definitely get my .... musical talents. DH tries but he's slightly tone deaf. And patience... not one of DH's strong suits.
    LO should definitely get DH's... skin tone. Half cuban/spanish is much better in the hot southern sun than my anglo-saxon skin.
    Poor thing if LO gets .... my picky eating habits. Obviously I think this is learned and not inherited, but either way I hope LO is more adventurous than I am.
    LO will probably .... be a short, blue-eyed, curly-haired blonde because both DH and I are, and we're just fine with that! :)

  • Love this thread!

    LO should definitely get my....skin color (olive) body shape (DH 's family has kinda weird hips etc) my eyebrows....IMO one of my better features. And my social skills and compassion.

    LO should definitely get DH's.....eyelashes (insanely long), nose and amazing gigantic smile. And his work ethic, his technical brain and his PATIENCE. Lol I have none.

    Poor thing if LO gets...DH's gnarly toes, extreme shyness or hairiness. :) and poor thing if he gets my acne, or my family's rampant mental illness tendencies! (I swear I'm sane...sort of)

    LO will probably be....perfect! Even with or without any of the above listed traits.
  • This is fun, tried it with my hubby and had a good laugh.
    LO should definitely get my... Teeth. I'm so lucky that I've never needed any dental work and they are nice and straight. Poor DHs bottom teeth are kind of a train wreck. Hahaha
    LO should definitely get DHs... lips. They're so pillowy and nice, whereas mine are thin and awkward on my face.
    Poor thing if LO gets... either of our noses. And based on the ultrasound at 12 weeks, baby's nose is already prominent. Hahaha poor baby.
    LO will probably be... the most perfect little thing I've ever laid my eyes on. Baby will probably be nice and mellow like its hippy parents, too.

  • Heh, my husband and I have played this game before over the years, but we've been approaching it from a financial and health perspective. We hope our kids get my teeth, since they're perfectly straight and I never needed braces (which, as we all know, that shit's expensive). We also hope they get my lungs, as DH has asthma, the severity of which comes and goes. However, we're hoping they get his digestive tract since I have Crohn's disease and though I've had a lot more good years than bad, the bad years really weren't fun.

    Physically, MIL wants any girls to get my hair as she always battles with hers to not look limp and flat, while I have the thick bouncy (often uncontrollable) waves. My mom wants the kids to have my eyes. And it's a running joke that all of the men on DH's side of the family have sexy legs, so any boys will be expected to carry on that tradition. ;)

  • The babies should definitely get my .... Hair. I have thick, perfectly straight blonde hair.

    They should definitely get DH's ... Eyes! gorgeous, piercing blue eyes :)

    Poor things if they get ... my scoliosis! I had to wear a back brace for 4 years and it's really great for picking up the boys at the ages of 13-17 (insert sarcasm). Also, I hope they get the height from my side of the family. There are zero men under 6 foot but my husband is 5'9 and comes from a short family.

    They will probably .... be adorable, athletic, kind children with great teeth and tons of sarcasm!
  • LO should definitely get my .... blue eyes
    LO should definitely get DH's .... complexion and full lips
    Poor thing if LO gets .... my complexion, or DH's wide baby face
    LO will probably ....  Have fine, straight hair and long arms, like we both do.

  • I like this game...

    LO should definitely get my nose, everyone asks if i have had it done. I was just blessed with a cute little one.. not the traditional Jewish Snoz you would think!
    LO should definitely get DH's smarts, my DH is so smart when it comes to english and history. 
    Poor thing if LO gets ....  Dh's eye sight. poor DH is almost blind without his glasses and the pictures ive seen of him as a kid are hilarious (were talking 80's BIG glasses) and poor style in clothing
    LO will probably .... my weight. my whole family is heavy (i'm not anymore thanks to gastric bypass) but its been a struggle my whole life. and LO will probably get our athletic ability when it comes to swimming. I swam competitively for 12 years (despite being big i was quite good) and DH is a very good swimmer as well!

  • LO should definitely get my? Not sure!
    LO should definitely get DH's eyesight and teeth, my eyes are so bad, and his teeth are perfectly staight without ever needing braces
    Poor thing if LO gets DHs skin, so much bacne, and soo hairy
    LO will definitely have blond hair and blue eyes because DH and I both share those definitely recessive traits!



  • LO should definitely get DH's ... blue eyes but sadly my brown-eyed dominant genes will muddy that wish.

    Fx for blue eyes then !!! So far the halfies in the family have ended up with hazel eyes as the lightest.
