You, dh, long last ancestor, the milk man (Oh I did not say that did I)?

I would love my boys red hair so I would love another red head. I think I am due for a brunette though but who knows I don't seem to make brunettes as often. Blue eyes would be cool too.

Pretty well like my other six. They all tend to look remarkably similar. Well, the two girls actually dont look a lot like eachother, but my boys .. oh my goodness! I am always looking at them and need to look again becuase I *thought* it was this one or that, but I'm like, "hey? Why is my six year old wearing a diaper?" lol (he's not, but my 2 year old looks so much like him, and so forth, kwim?) And my oldest daughter and oldest son look SO much alike, and my younger daughter and my second son do too.. so even though the GIRLS don't like like the other one, it all ties in somewhere.

Dark hair, dark eyes. All of them.

I think my kid will have curly hair. That's all I can think of I was imagining the other day what he or she may look like, but I got scared because I kept imagining something really weird!

I hope our next looks like me!!! Jonah looks so much like Daryl that people ask him if he reproduced asexually.

Jess, I would be soooooooo temped to reply to those comments thus:

Oh, yes, Jonah is actually a cloned baby.

Say it sincerely. Then watch their faces and amazement befor eyou say 'I'm joking, of course he isn't!' and let them feel silly for thinking/saying such a thing.

Grrr. I know I don't know the circumstances and it may have been close family members/close friends teasing you in that 'mean' way that's acceptable when you're close (at least here in te uk it is... we're probably mean only to people we really like and are horribly polite to everyone else ) but I just think new mothers are often vulnerable and anyone saying somethng like that can be like kicking someone when they're down.

I found all the constant 'She looks JUST like you as a baby' 'She looks JUST like dh as a baby' so irritating and just wanted to say 'actually, she looks like herself'. But I'm British and just smiled instead. If someone had suggested she looked like I'd had nothing to do with the process after nurturing her for nine months and then popping her out I think I'd have flipped out! And... blamed it on the hormones. But, seriously, I'm getting worked up that people said that to you! New mothers, especially first time mothers, need support - not that kind of insensitivity.

Ok, breath Amanda.

Soooo... to answer Patty's question. I reckon at the very least the baby would have brown eyes. I have blue/green/grey (different people think different colours!) eyes and my ex-dh had brown eyes. Both our kids have brown eyes even though I desperately wished for a light eyed child. This time, my SO has.... dun Dun DUN: brown eyes. D'oh. Watch it happen to me again considering brown is the dominant gene when it comes to eye colour.

Still wishing for a light eyed baby though

Definitely have brown eyes since that's what BF and I both have.

And probably dark brown/black hair (BF's hair is black). When I was born, I had black hair, but then it turned red/auburn and was that way up until a few years ago when it turned ugly brown (Revlon takes care of that, though). So I'd actually love to have a baby with auburn hair.

I'm not sure about height since BF is 6'2" and I'm 5'3". Hopefully it won't be too big of a baby. lol
