Is your baby ugly?

Re: Is your baby ugly?

I of course think my child is beautiful--with that out of the way, I have seen kids at the daycare, that are were not so attractive when they were younger, but than they grew into themselves and were so adorable.
All nestie/bump babies are beautiful--it's the other people's babies that may not measure up:) And we do have some friends that we think--uggh--not so cute, but glad we have our children:)
yeah now that I've been out and about I've seen some funny looking kids. and I'll be honest, I don't think ALL nestie babies are beautiful. GASP!

those are fighting words heather!
i 100% believe people know when they don't have a cute baby. how could you not? you may think your baby is beautiful to you but you have to realize it isn't cute in the true definition of the word.
dh and i talk about this ALL the time. how sad are we?
I just fully read the post about "Moments"-- I will say that we have pictures of Aerin where she is not so cute--mainly it's because she turns her nose up like a snob (similar to her mother and cousins)..those pics--not cute at all.
Heather--remember how I was worried about how Aerin would look because of her ultrasound picture--it was the nose being turned up:)
All pictures of Alec are perfect.
Andrea, my hubs and I talk about this all the time too. He thinks our friends' second kids are not cute and worries our second kid won't be cute. I told him that we of course would think it was cute, but everyone else would know better. But the liklihood is that it would be cute.
Heather, I am daring you to take it one step further and NAME the kids you don't think are cute. Bwah ha ha ha ha!
Ok. I think Jackson is GAP ad cute now... BUT, when he was born and tiny like an old man. He was precious but, funny looking. He wasn't that fat chubby cuddle baby. He was skin and bones. Granted he was premie and honestly at the time I was the most adoring blessed mommy that he was even alive. So I will say looking back he had some funny looking moments but, has now made up for them because he is SUPER CUTE now.
Does this make me a bad mommy? lol
PIP evidence ...
Then, a little funny looking. I used to call him Mr. Magoo
and now...
I think my little girl is a cutie pie
Everyone says she looks just like DH which makes me worry about HIM haha..because his features make a good looking girl!
I've seen some not so good looking babies in my travels too..heck I see not so good looking adults all the time..maybe they started as not so good looking babies

I worry our second baby won't be cute either. But then again maybe we are delusional and our first isn't cute and we just think he is
There is definitely one baby in particular that I see (on the nest/bump in general) who I think is so, so unattractive. Really bad. And then I feel bad for thinking it. But not bad enough not to show both my mom and dh to see what they thought. They agreed.
bwahahahahahahahaha
and hell no I am not naming names!
awww, c'mon!! We haven't had a post that gets a red star for controversy and a million or so views in LOOOOOOONG time

i think joseph may be funny looking, but i can't be sure - i think he is cute! but people comment on "how expressive" he is which i think is code for funny looking.
i get lots of unsolicited "adorable" comments on the nest/bump though so i don't know what to think! haha! it doesn't really matter in the end. he is who he is.

LOL, this post is hilarious. And Heather, cmon, name some names-that would totally get us on the 'Hot Topics'
I think my kids are way cute. Colin always has been and people stop us all the time and say how cute he is. Hayden was a skinny little thing and looked like an old man as a newborn,but now he's plumped up and is so cute I just want to squeeze him all the time. Of course, I'm biased
yes, there are ugly babies, but Caroline is not and has never been one of them. I remember when she was born thinking that she didn't look like an old man like most newborns do. But then one of my sisters told me not too long ago that she is much cuter than she seemed like she'd be as a newborn, lol. Looking back she did look like an old man newborn.
And honestly, I think personality has a lot to do with it. Caroline has always been very happy and friendly, and I think it adds to her (already ridiculous) cuteness. On the other hand, babies who are generally crabby and/or unhappy and whiney don't seem as cute.
Honestly, I think love is blind. I really honestly do think all parents think their babies are beautiful.
I say this lovingly because I've seen some babies...that are really not beautiful...but seriously the parents think they are. Case in point,
Yes, ladies...those are 2 pics of my beautiful DD. I look back and know I must have been blinded by love. I seriously thought she was breathtaking and stunningly beautiful right from the start. HELLO!?!?!?
My DH and I talk about this too, often. :-)
OMG What a great post! hahaha
I will say that I totally know both of my kiddos are dolls now but I also knew when they were born they were not soo cute to say the least. I have a friend that has a not so attractive baby and yes I am a bioch because shes fug i think. ok there i said it im going to hell. lol
but if some nesties were to chime in and say my kiddos were not cute then i might have to question myself. :P
o yes i almost forgot.... if you think George Bush is fug then I guess so is Amelia! LOL
but in her defense...this was 3 months ago so.....
LOL at Georgia!
OMG, this post gets
from me! Y'all are cracking me up! Of course Gavin is the most adorable toddler on this earth, but there was a time last summer when his hair was falling out in patches and well... he just looked odd. I mean, can you say combover???
I always said at that point that he looked like a little old man with a bad toupee... and I also have seen some scary looking babies at daycare that turned into the most adorable toddlers and I just can't believe it!
When Geneva was born, all the nurses kept telling us how beautiful she was and "she's just perfect." I was musing about whether they just said that to everyone and if our kid was actually funny looking and odd. Rob came out with some line from a Jamie Foxx stand-up routine where Foxx said something to the effect that not all kids are cute. Some babies look like chewed up Milk Duds.
I had to call a nurse for more pain pills. I nearly split my staples laughing.
This is a great post! My dh and I have talked about ugly babies, etc., for a while and both of us agreed that we didn't think that Ethan was the cutest especially those first couple of months. I remember telling my mom I didn't think he was the most attractive baby and she got very offended with my statement. I think Ethan started getting really cute when he was around 5 months old, and I definitely think he's a cute toddler. Now, once Jack got out of that newborn phase, I thought he was a beautiful baby. I just love Jack's chubby cheeks. I think they make him look cute.
I had to LOL at this one - too funny!
If this isn't the most beautiful child you have ever laid eyes on, then I don't know what is wrong with you. LOLOLOLLLLLLLL

Is that Kate?? She is one of the most adorable toddlers I know
Max as a newborn, not so cute (but at the time I thought he was the most beautiful baby ever)
But now, he is the cutest little thing on Earth. : )

I thought DS was a really cute newborn and now he's interesting looking. Of course I think he's cute because he has the greatest personality. Other teachers, besides his own, stop me to comment on what a sweet child he is and how they often stop by to visit him.
I remember thinking some of his classmates were really not cute, but then I got to know them. Their personalities really showed through and I started to think they were cute. However, there are a couple kids I know who fit the definition of "ideal cute" (big blue eyes and chubby) but they have no spark in their eyes and/or they don't smile, and I don't find them cute at all.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I am sorry, but this post totally cracked me up! Only you, Heather, only you...
Oh, and of course I think my baby is adorable...but I will say that prior to her being born, I was petrified that she would be ugly.
