"Now That's a Beautiful Baby!"

Andrina and I went with Tom to his doctor's visit today so I could do one very important thing: show off my baby. I had been there with him a few times before while I was pregnant so logic dictates that they now have to see the "product" of my pregnancy (not that this does anything for their lives but for me it does). Of course everyone said she was beautiful; the doctor, the nurses, all the receptionists. But it was in the waiting room where I was really suprised. I was walking through holding Andrina over my shoulder and when we passed this one older lady I heard her loudly say, "now that's a beautiful baby!". So I turned around to say thank you and there were 3 women sitting there all going "aww" about Andrina (maybe they were talking about babies or sharing pictures before we got into the waiting room, who knows). I'd never heard a stranger compliment her like that before with such matter-of-fact conviction!

Yes Andrina, you really are a beautiful baby.
Not that we had to hear it to know it though!

And you're such a cute little sweetie too!

I know exactly what you mean. I would get, and still get, SO proud whenever anyone would compliment Anne and tell me how cute she was. I LOVED taking her places and showing her off. I think it's legit too...after all, us mommies worked really really hard to have these babies and we love them so very much, that it feels so nice to hear someone else agree with us. I also get really jealous if anyone compliments another baby...it's weird, but even if Anne's not with me, and someone is really really cooing over a kid, I think to myself, "Anne is way cuter." It's weird and I don't like feeling that way, but obviously we think Anne is the cutest kid. I don't mind if someone says that a baby is cute, it's when they start really getting into it about how cute another baby is. I definitely try and keep that in check cuz, certainly other babies are entitled to second cutest baby in the world after Anne. (Although, Andrina, has that title in my mind....so they'll have to settle for 3rd.)
