I thought Michaela was weird looking when she was first handed to me. Mind you I was in shock after a really quick early labour and she'd only been given a brief rub down so she was still covered in vernix, blood & meconium
plus being a vb she was a bit squished (the only other babies I'd ever seen straight away were delivered by cs and were bigger babies, Michaela was tiny).
Within a few hours I completely fell in love with her and thought she was the most beautiful little girl to ever grace the earth (which of course she is) and I spent most of the night, from 11:30pm when I got to the maternity ward, taking pictures of her on my mobile.
Once she started getting chubby she became even cuter (I
chubby babies) and I do think she is a very beautiful little girl.
