James and I regularly daydream about what our baby is going to look like - which features they will inherit from us and how we will will see ourselves in them.
Me (talking to my belly): If you look like your Daddy, you will be gorgeous. When you're born, just look for the most handsome man in the room - that's your Papa. If you're a boy, all the girls will love you and follow you around.
James (talking to my belly): "And if you look like your Mama, you're going to get lots of attention. People will stare at you and approach you and you'll have to learn to deal with that humbly - not everyone gets to be as beautiful as you. Besides, something bad could happen and you could end up ugly! So keep that in mind. But how you look will always be just a tiny portion of who you are. You are so much more than that. And you'll always be beautiful to me."
