"Sure, sure. The party line among people of childbearing age is &amp;quot;Every baby&amp;#039;s cute!&amp;quot; But you know what? Every baby ISN&amp;#039;T cute! I know this for a fact, and I bet you do, too. I can say all of this with certainty because [dramatic pause] I was an ugly baby. And I&amp;#039;m not just being hyper-critical of the faded photos of the scrunched-up, blotchy hairball I was a few decades back. You know that space in a baby book where the mom writes, &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s perfect! I adore every square inch of her!&amp;quot;? My baby book had that space, and my mom wrote, &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s ugly. Send her back.&amp;quot; And I don&amp;#039;t blame her! Not only was I blotchy with a hairline that overlapped my eyebrows, my legs were all funky when I came out, so I had to wear two plaster casts for my first several months out of the womb. I&amp;#039;m sorry, but there was nothing cute about that! And I wasn&amp;#039;t the only un-cute baby! A friend of mine who recently had her second confessed: &amp;quot;My first baby was gorgeous, but the second, well, she just came out looking a lot more banged up. And she stayed that way. For quite a while, actually. I didn&amp;#039;t love her any less because of it. In fact, I think I loved her a tiny bit more.&amp;quot; Did any of you have an un-cute baby? Or were you a less-than-cute baby? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
