To be a bit annoyed that DN looks just like me?

I have 3 wonderful DC - DD - age 7, and DS1 age 5 and DS2. DS2 is 15 months old.

But they all look like DH, which is fine as I like DH very much Grin. (If its relevant, and I don't know that is is but both DH and I are white/British).

But my D Niece who is 11 months old (so not much younger than my DS2, and almost as big) looks just like me - perhaps not surprising as her Dad (my DB) looks just me as well - our family used to always joke that we (me and DB) had the same face - his friends "recognise" me even if I have never met them as I look so much like him.

Everyone is commenting that she could be my baby, and that she looks the image of me both now and from my baby photos. I held her today and SIL (DN's mum) said it too.

Part of me is annoyed - why couldn't I produce a baby who looks like me, and part of me is a bit Envy. I know I am being totally unreasonable as I have 3 wonderful children. So why does it bother me?

A relative you hopefully love looks like you - big deal? If anything I'd think it might irritate his mum.

Really not worth being bothered about IMO Hmm
