When a baby is born, everyone oohs and ahhs over it, proclaiming it to be “beautiful” or “perfect” or “an angel” or one of a number of other adjectives. Yet aside from a few miracle babies, newborns are…well, many things, but beautiful, perfect, and an angel aren’t any of them. That’s how all parents feel about their babies. I certainly did. My son was a beautiful baby. He was perfect and an angel…but objectively, I knew he was squishy looking, hairy, and had little white bumps on his nose and a cone-shaped head. The doctor assured us that the fine little hairs all over his body would fall away, that the bumps would disappear and his head would soon be the normal shape. Time would fix all the little quirks that pregnancy and the birthing process caused.
