52. You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby...


Not so. I mean, look at me now.
I'm not so old that my baby pictures are handpainted on ivory cameos, but they are all black and white, and dog-eared.
I was looking at them today and wondering if my boy will look like me. Harriet didn't. She looked exactly like her dad for at least 9 months. That really peed me off after all my hard work in pregnancy, labour and the early days (and nights). 
But what kind of mother would I be if I wished these looks on my child?
