[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you do this for a girl?

I have 5'7" (asian female so pretty tall for my gene pool) and DH is 5'10" (normal size white guy).  My oldest daughter is probably going to be barely eke out to 5'4" (she will most likely take after my husbands mother and sister), [b]whereas my youngest son is in the 99th percentile and will probably be well over 6' tall [/b](he is still young but we both have a lot of tall male genes in our family with one uncle being 6'4" and my brother being 6'1").

Extremely unlikely with an average size mom and short-ish father. He will be lucky to get to six feet. Maybe. "Tall male genes" besides the father's really don't matter.[/quote]

Well my father is 5'8" on a good day and my mom is 5'4" give or take.  My brother is 6'1".  So genes are weird. [/quote]

I donMt understand why people keep pointing their unique cases… just because your brother is taller then both mom and dad, it does not mean that in most cases your parents would produce a 5’9” man and 5’3” woman[/quote]
