My younger son looked just like my MIL (YIKES!!) when he was born -- NOT CUTE!! And he took a couple months to grow out of that. Now he's 4 and couldn't be more adorable (looks just like me now, thank you very much!)! ;) I think that as you baby grows and fattens up a bit, he'll get cuter by the day!

Disappointed over Baby's looks 5496I went through a little of that myself, mainly because I always imagined my DS would be the spitting image of his father (olive skin, dark hair and eyes) and well, he...
Hi, I'm the mom of an 8 week old baby boy. I feel like a terrible mom and a superficial person admitting this, but my son is far from being cute or good looking. These thoughts depress me and make me feel guilty, but I can't help feeling this way. Visitors just say 'Well, he doesn't look like either of you' (my son is extremely dark skinned, we are not) or 'his features are very different from your older one's' or 'nothing more important than the baby being healthy'. I realize they are saying the truth and being diplomatic but I'm definitely disappointed over not having the baby I dreamed of. My husband says the baby's looks don't bother him the least bit, but there is disappointment in the family circle though everyone is saying nice things about the baby to me to cheer me up. I know a lot of babies change with time, but this is very hard on me. Has anyone been through such a situation? How did you get over the disappointment? w2mamma
