Giant baby

My newborn baby was 10 days old in this picture. You can still see her umbilical cord. I had a huge baby. She weighed over 10 pounds and was almost 23 inches long.

Along with my huge baby is my huge chin. And why do my fingers look like sausages? Had I not sat next to a window in the last few months? Why is my skin is the color of my putty bed coverlet.

Come on....I should give myself a break. Carried that sweet "little" baby around for 9 months...and the old wives tale that "Girls steal mother's beauty" pretty much rang true for me.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of me and my baby girl. My 10 day old baby is smiling. NO, it is not gas.

Aside from every bad thing I said about myself....

I still love the picture.
