Hooray for ugly babies! Newborns are funny-lookin'. →[More:] The wall of baby pictures at my Ob/Gyn looks like a gallery of Dick Tracy villains.
"Look out, Dick Tracy! It's LumpFace!"
"Oh no, Dick Tracy...it's Little Squishy!"

Those poor kids. Mine is, of course, gorgeous. Baby acne and a single shock of red hair is the new hotness. Orangutan chic.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, they sure are. Babies don't begin to look interesting until about 10 weeks. Before then, they're aliens!!!

Specifically, aliens from Planet Churchill.

That is the funniest line I can ever remember reading about babies. Memorable. And, oh God, so true.

redvixen - that's the one that caught my eye as well. I think they might have used forceps on her.

Or she got stuck, and the contractions in the pelvic area gave the poor thing bruises. With a name like Amazing Grace, it almost sounds as if the outcome was less than ideal.
