Here is why I'm asking:
We had a 3d ultrasound and our baby's nose looked very wide and large. I still thought she was cute (and I know those images tend to be inaccurate anyway, especially with the noses) but MIL just said whose nose is that? (And she is not only a person who usually says all babies are cute, but she knows I was worried about that too!) After the less than excited reaction I realized that there seems to be this pressure from some people to have a cute baby. Am I just imagining this?
I've gotten comments that seem to imply that the excitement about the baby, the thing that will make it worthwhile, is if she is cute. Everyone sort of assumes she's healthy and nobody asks about other plans... what they comment on is what she'll look like.
Maybe I'm being a little oversensitive but now I feel like some people will be disappointed if they don't deem her cute, or treat her differently! (DH and I will love her unconditionally no matter what she looks like!)
Anyone else feel this way? Or is it just me?? (It's ok if it is!)
