A bit odd but that’s not gonna happen either, it’s gonna look like a combination of her and the father anyways

Sounds like some trauma that hast been dealt with. Not health. Sounds like a professional might be in need.

Statement as worded it’s weird, but there is something to be said about honoring a sibling’s legacy. Different wording makes it very normal, so I would consider this fine.

The way you’re wording it sounds strange, but I think I get what she’s saying and it’s fine.

The dad wants it to be a girl to look like her. She wants it to be a boy to look like her brother

She said she wants it to look like her dead brother verbatim?

Dead is in parentheses bc I added it for context. Otherwise, yes

She said “I hope it’s a boy so he’ll look like (dead brothers name)”

Yeah that’s fine. She clearly holds a lot of admiration for her deceased brother and it’s not weird for her to want her child to resemble a relative that she admires.
