SF congratulations, hope you are all enjoying these first few weeks together and getting some sleep at night!
Arlynab hello, and good luck with your twins. Make the most of these last few weeks without babies!
Blossom2 Our three children are all the same sort of skin colouring, pretty much in between dh (Chinese) and me (white). I dont think any of them had any change in complexion as babies.
The 2 boys look more Chinese I wd say, both have medium to dark brown hair and dd has quite light brown/almost blonde hair.
ds1 and ds2 were both slightly shorter than average where dd is v tall for her age, so she seemed to be following my side and the boys dh's. But ds1 who is 13 has shot up in the last 6 months and now has size 9 feet and is about 1m60 so he seems to be enroute to being talkler than dh too.
All have brown eyes, as do all the other mixed race Chinese/white children we know.
I am off to Shanghai and beijing for ten days next week, lucky me, and without any children!!!
My Mum was born there and lived there for a couple of years but has never been back. (her parents were both British and my grandad was an engineer working all round the far East)
When I was working there Mum had no time/money to visit but she has recently decided she wd like to go. I kindly volunteered my services as a guide so we are off! I havent been abroad for 7 years and havent been to Shnghai since I was a student there 22 years ago so I am very excited. And I havent had more than two night away from the children for many years.That is not my major motivation you understand. Dh is on leave and has been very supportive of the idea which issweet since its his country...Hopefully we will go back to his area with the childrn next year. meanwhile I will have to bring him back a really nice present!
Hope all you Londoners are enjoying the heat and that its not toomuch for the babies.
