And so I thought I was doomed to have all of my children look exactly like their father.
I know, I am pretty vain. But seriously, when someone tells you how your children look like you, their mother, the comment just hits you and is heart warming. Especially because we are the ones who endured TEN, yes 10, MONTHS of agony, bliss, exhaustion, constipation, sleeplessness, irritability, bloating, weight gain, excitement, love, affection, bitching, moaning and the sheer fact we were uncomfortable right before we delivered our precious little person.
You can imagine how ELATED I was when the twins were born. I immediately bust out the baby pictures and did my “Nah nah, eat shit” dance to show how the twins look just like me! I know…..I am a terrible sport. But seriously….for FIVE years, all I heard is how people couldn’t believe Big G was mine because he looks JUST LIKE HIS DAD. FIVE YEARS!!
The only thing that stands out on Big G that he gets from me are the radiant color of his eyes (we have piercing blue eyes) and this really cool birth mark, oh and we can argue till the cows come home…both of us….with each other….and other people if they let us. Big G and I are born to argue! LOL
So here are some fantastic 70s sporting photos of me…..and my comparable Mini-Me.

I am just so glad that my genetics finally came through on the looks of our kids. Do not get me wrong…..DH is one sexy beast, but if our daughter looked like him……she might as well pack everything in now and go butch, or lipstick for that matter. I’d love her just the same…..seriously….she is very pretty and totally cute.
I am most thankful that I was able to go 36 weeks, 4 days, 16 hours and 53 minutes before delivering Pickles Magoo and 54 minutes before delivering Little Bitty.
Both were PLENTY healthy and good sized twins, so I know my baking abilities are more than plentiful that is for sure!
As an added bonus they got my striking good looks, goofy loving nature, and they are the best of DH and I all the way around with smarts, love, good nature, bad tempers, and sensitivity.
I am so blessed with my three gnomes!
hi, stopping by for the challenge. thanks for leaving me a comment. surely you are blessed to have such an angel of your own genes.
so cute! my twins were born at 36 weeks, too. i always say my baby birthing skill is one of my greatest talents!
Twins! Ahhhhh! LOL!
My brothers are twins. I was askeered I was going to have twins cuz I had a "respected" psychic tell me I would.
Biology and genes are a funny thing. My oldest looks like dad, my middle looks like me and the youngest looks like the pool boy….I kid, AS IF I have a pool boy. She actually is a REPLICA of a baby picture of her great grandmother we uncovered dated 1912.
LOL! Adorable! Both you AND your daughter! What a great post!
So neat to see those pics side by side… i have a few I should pull out! My daughter looks exactly like me!
