Jeans for Genes- win a Jeanswest prize pack!
I saw this beautiful quote on the Jeans for Genes Facebook page by a lady called Michelle. She said: "Genes, we all have them, but sometimes they are not perfect.” It made me tear up a little because it’s so true. With one in 20 children born with a congenital abnormality or genetic disease either you or someone you know will be directly affected.
I come from a family with members affected by epilepsy, and have just recently sat beside one of my dearest friends as she and her family come to terms with their child’s cancer diagnosis.
It’s projects like Genes for Jeans Day that make things like this a little more bearable. Whether it’s through just simple awareness of what the Children’s Medical Research Centre does, in investigating everything from birth defects through cancer, to actively fundraising, this is an important day indeed.
So how can you help on Jeans for Genes Day?
Wear denim on 5th August and share your pic: Remember to wear denim on 5th August, share it on Facebook and tag “Jeans for Genes Australia” in the photo so it can be shared with supporters of the campaign

I hope that i have passed on my dimple as every comments on it when i smile. My first born is 8 weeks old and cant wait to find out little things like that. For now its just amazing watching him grow into his own.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:18 AM
I love that my daughter has my blue eyes and thick curly hair. I hope I have passed on my listening and empathy abilities to her. I also hope our bub due in Oct has my husbands brown eyes, dark features and caring personality.

My sense of humour. I see the funny side of things which keeps life a lot 'lighter' and I come out with great one liners. I am awesomely funny! Even if it's only me that thinks so =)
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:19 AM
Enthusiasm for life. I never hesitate to do things that i want to do or try. I just dive in with the attitude of enjoying life now for what it is and be excited of what there is to explore. I really hope my 3 children inherited these genes of mine and enjoy life as much as i do.

My eldest is 7 and we've recently discovered that he is quite possibly on the Autism spectrum. I like to think that it is my genes that have passed on his lovely nature, sense of empathy and beautiful caring personality. I almost 100% certain his sense of humour and good looks are from his Dad. I'm so proud of my little man. xx
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:23 AM
I have passed on my long eye lashes to my daughter which every comments on how lovely her eyes are
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:24 AM
I hope my children get my husbands generosity and my creativity
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:25 AM
I hope he gets my patience. There isn't a lot of it in the family, and he's autistic so he's going to need a lot of it (just as I do).
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:26 AM
My eldest daughter is a spitting image of her daddy with her beautiful big hazel eyes. It would be nice if my youngest keeps her lovely blue eyes like mummy's smile I'd also hope that I have passed on to both my girls my strength, confidence and happy spirit smile
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:26 AM

? would have to say my stubborness and independence!!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:27 AM
As a Mother of a child on the Autism Spectrum, I hope I have passed on the ability of acceptance. No matter what our disability, race, sexual preference, etc we must teach our children acceptance to make the world a better place.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:28 AM
Im glad that my daughter has my eyes. So hopefully she will see life the same way I do. Family is everything, health & happiness is what I wish for her, & I hope she hopes the same for her family when she grows up

I hope to pass onto my 2yo daughter to be kind & thoughtful!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:28 AM
I hope i pass on my common sense and also the ability to respect elders their opinions and beliefs. These traits are sadly few and far between in today's society.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:29 AM
My daughter is headstrong, determined and imaginative - qualities I am thankful she has and hopefully can hold on to as she grows up. Our little man has gotten his dad's relaxed, go with the flow attitude, but also can stand up for himself when needed. We are beyond blessed with how our amazing children are developing and are thankful everyday for the individual personalities.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:29 AM

I hope that my family 'mole' pass on to my kids number 3 as its a special gift from my dad, most of my sister and brother have one, they are the same 'smooth' mole that is next to the eyes. beside, my first daughter have one, easy to spot her.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:37 AM
My compassion for others. This is a hard life and compassion can help someone who might of otherwise been on the edge and depressed see the world in a more hopeful light. If more people had honest compassion and caring there will be hope for a brighter future.
I teach my children to have empathy, kindness and compassion. I teach then that if someone is not very nice maybe they have had a bad day and we should not use that first impression to judge them. We should make excuses for eachother and be forgiving.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:38 AM
My love for reading. The ability to let the book take you away on a wonderful journey!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:38 AM

Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:46 AM
I know that my partner passed onto our son his beautiful blue eyes, thay are the eyes that I fell in love with twice once when I met my partner Jason and then again when I met my son Joshua.

I hope that I have passed on to my children my calm nature, with all the stresses life throws at you it's nice to be able to have the right attitude to deal with these.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:48 AM
I hope to pass on my enthusiasm and scepticism so they approach life with gusto and excitement but always keep safe and never take anything at face value.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:48 AM

Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:49 AM
Patience and creativity - I think both go hand in hand. Both are wonderful gifts for being able to deal with obstacles. My father was an artist, I am very creative. Both my husband and I hope our daughter is bestowed with gifts such as these.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:50 AM
There is so much that i hope to pass on to my little beans.
Some of which I hope to have passed on to my 2:
- that different doesnt mean wrong. That different is just that ~ different.
- that you can be whatever you want, do whatever you want & go whereever you please, but YOU are accountable to make that happen
- for every action there is a reaction - good or bad, YOU need to be responsible for the outcome
I could go on & on, but dont want to bore anyone... LOL

I lost my most amazing mum to cancer just after I got married. I fell pregnant a few months later and when my bundle of joy arrived 9 months later, she had the same little nodule on her ear that my mum had. I was hoping my baby would have some gene from my beloved mum and this was it. I was overjoyed to find that my son, born 2 1/2 years later, had the same nodule on his ear! Every day I look at my kids, I see my mum and you've no idea how much joy this brings. I miss her more and more every day, particularly watching my own kids grow up. Despite the gene not coming directly from me, this quirky family trait still lives and warms my heart every day!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:51 AM
I hope i have passed on the motherly gene so that she too can experience the love and everything else that comes with being a mother i have for her and hope she passes it on to her own children.
My mum unfortunately never had it but hopefully i i have broke the cycle and passed it on to DD.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:54 AM
not so much what my son got from me, but from his nanny who very recently passed. he has nannies sparkling loving eyes, which speak one thousand words every time you look into them! so glad he has something of her to shine through every single day!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:54 AM
I hope both our boys grow up honest, independent and caring - 3 traits inherited from Mum & Dad

I hope my daughter inherits my love of imagination gene... in loving to read books, in designing cards for people, in her fun and make believe play etc
Posted 20 July 2011 - 12:59 AM
I hope my girl has her daddy's height and I know she's got my smile and bubbly (& never quiet) personality!
I know she's got mostly her daddy's looks but I hope that I might get more of a look in sometime!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 01:01 AM
The combination of my husbands blue eyes and my huge eyes ... son number 1 has these gorgeous eyes, let's hope son number 2 has them as well!
Posted 20 July 2011 - 01:02 AM
My boys definitely look like me (they are 2 & 11 months) which of course I am happy about. However, other things I hope that they get from me are compassion and empathy. I think that this is often a rare trait in males, and I want my boys to feel for others and to care for others. This teamed with my husbands strength and logic I am hoping for two amazing boys.
Posted 20 July 2011 - 01:02 AM
Its funny our son has blue eyes and blonde hair cause he didnt get that from me or his father it goes back one generation either side butI hope my son gets my sense of humour wink

Posted 20 July 2011 - 01:31 AM
I hope my son gets his fathers genes and grows into a loyal and admirable man who knows how to treat women with love and respect. I hope my daughter gets my genes and grows into a independent and educated women who realises happiness comes from inside. The main thing is that they are both happy and happy kids that grow into happy and healthy adults. I have personally experienced what happens to families when this isn't the case and all kids deserve a happy childhood. This is such a fantastic cause and we should ALL get involved!
Oh and one last thing - I hope both my kids get my hairline (don't tell my hubby) - LOL
Posted 20 July 2011 - 01:42 AM
I hope that I have passed on to my boys the ability to roll their tongue. My eldest can, not sure about my youngest. My hubby (the boys Daddy) can't roll his tongue so we have a wonderful time teasing him about it!

Posted 20 July 2011 - 02:23 AM
I hope my girls inherit my empathy and love of animals. I can see their caring nature already at 2 and 10 months of age. My 2nd little girl was conceived 6 days before my Nanna passed away in the same place. Before she died it seemed she knew something big was to happen although I didn't know what she was talking about. My surprise pregnancy was a blessing and a little surprise from my Nanna. I'm sure to keep an eye on me. My little girl has her eyes and cheeks, she at times looks up and giggles I'm sure at my Nanna smile
Posted 20 July 2011 - 02:26 AM

Posted 20 July 2011 - 05:46 AM
I love that my boys have inherited my father's giant hands (paws). My father's hands represented both strength and gentleness, were calloused from hard work but soft enough to soothe skinned knees and hold new born babies. My father died before my boys were born and every day I see my father's beautiful hands on my sons and hope that they will represent strength, gentleness and kindness to my sons children. (I'm also glad that they are boys and not girls because giant hands on girls are not so fantastic......I know!)

Both of my boys have beautiful long eyelashes from me. Actually they are even longer and mine and we always get comments from complete strangers about how long, thick and beautiful their lashes are. As for their looks they look more like their daddy than me but from me I hope they learn patience.

My daughter inherited my blue eyes, which read like a barometer when she is tired, happy or full after actress. She has the eyes of an old soul.

I have four gorgeous boys and i hope i pass on to them what my mum and dad passed onto me, that is to love everyone and appriciate the little things people do and have that makes them unique.

I hope my children recieve my practicle nature. This will help them achieve whatever they put their mind to.

I hope that I have passed on to my bub my sense of calmness and happy go lucky nature and my good memory (although it isnt as good now that I have mumnesia) smile

My answer doesn't apply to your question exactly, it's the opposite. I wish that I (and my daughter's father) hadn't passed on our Genes for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We are both carriers of CF and this resulted in my daughter being diagnosed with CF which is a 1 in 4 chance when both parents are carriers of the gene. I hope I've passed on 1 million times the strength I've ever had so that she can fight her way through this terrible disease.

I hope I have passed my sense of humour on to my beautiful little girl smile

I hope that my baby boy has the patience and humility of my husband and my wavy hair and green eyes.

Hope my kids get my indifference to competitiveness and my husband's intense competitive spirit then those genes equal out and they become level headed and determined!!

I hope my princess gets my sense of humour, no point in taking life too seriously, it passes by too quickly not to have fun and i hope she gets her dad's cooking skills. Oh and my colour hair, not her dad's red locks smile

I hope my children inherit my general contentment, empathy and tact and my husband's generosity

I hope my son gets my husbands height and good looks along with my competitive streak and determination.

I hope that I have passed on 'empathy' and 'kindness'. From an early age we are working hard to instill these important qualities in our daughter.

I already see that my lil girl has got my much envied 'straight as a pin' hair but other than physical attributes my daughter will be lucky to inherit her dad's charisma smile

I hope that our angel inherits my husband's charisma. People are drawn to him like a magnet and he has no trouble getting along with anyone. Would make life so easy for our little darling.

Something I've inherited from my parents is hard work and dedication and I hope to pass this on my my girls . . . it will keep then grounded and help then cope with everyday life.
Posted 21 July 2011 - 07:13 PM
My caring nature and always thinking of others smile
Posted 21 July 2011 - 11:36 PM
I hope my baby gets my blue eyes! I really hope he doesn't get my big ears though.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 01:10 AM
The genes that I hope to have passed onto my daughter is my clear skin complexion, confidence and independence.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 01:28 AM
being left handed!!!!
Posted 22 July 2011 - 01:58 AM
I love that both of my girls got my blue eyes gene but theirs are so more vibrant.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 06:05 AM
Life is what you make it, do not sweat on the small things and remember to treat others as you would have to yourself!
Posted 22 July 2011 - 06:10 AM
The one gene that I have given to my baby boy has got to be his height! I am 183cm tall and have battled at time with being such a tall woman.. But it is absolutely beautiful to see my son inherit my length! He is bigger than all the other babies his age we know.. Love it.. smile

The best gene my 2 year old daughter has received is from her dad....she is so funny! The pair of them are like clowns. They crack me up everyday. I love sitting there watching them play because they are so alike! Very entertaining!!
Posted 22 July 2011 - 11:27 PM
I hope my little girl gets my athleticness. Too many children play inside, so i hope she loves sport and playing outside.
Posted 23 July 2011 - 03:18 AM
I already know he has the dimple from my chin... but I hope he really has my patience and happy nature!
Posted 24 July 2011 - 06:35 AM
i hope my daughter will gets my kindness, caring, loving the people around me and getting dimples from my partner
Posted 27 July 2011 - 09:48 AM
I hope I've passed on my favourite gene - musicality!
Posted 28 July 2011 - 06:32 AM
