As an expectant parent, the thought of having an unattractive baby was certainly not part of my ideal birthing plan. In fact, I was convinced that my little one would emerge as a stunning masterpiece—after all, hybrid babies tend to be exceptionally charming. Need proof? Consider two names: Zoe Saldana and Jason Momoa. The genetic blend growing inside me was bound to be extraordinary. Would my little bundle of joy arrive wearing designer labels? I could only imagine.
The first sign that my expectations might not align with reality came shortly after I delivered, with one final push (and a colorful exclamation directed at my partner). Instead of the anticipated, “Look at that beautiful baby!” the nurse exclaimed, “Whoa.”
I was left waiting in suspense, eager for the moment when they would place my gorgeous baby on my chest for admiration. Instead, the nurse hurried my newborn to the weighing station and whispered to the obstetrician, “I thought you said this baby was full-term.”
As I lay there, a bit bewildered, the nurse remarked, “Oh, she has a Mongolian spot on her bottom… that’s quite prominent.”
Excuse me! I’m still here, and where’s my celebratory champagne? My partner strolled over, and I soon heard the unmistakable sound of his laughter. “Looks like she could have used a few more weeks in there,” he joked.
“Please, can someone get me my drink and my baby?” I demanded, my patience wearing thin.
Eventually, they presented my little one, and I couldn’t help but think: wow, that’s not the most attractive baby. However, upon gazing into her large eyes and unique face, I found myself enamored—right before she decided to relieve herself all over my chest.
Welcome to the world, little one. I promised to love you unconditionally, regardless of appearances.
