UB

So we went up to Wiesbaden and met the newest member of Chris and Christie's budding family--Isaac Thomas! He is really cute and actually doesn't have that newborn scrunched look :) He looks more like he's already a month old. Anyway, we were talking about how he's actually a cutie and ventured to talk about how some babies just aren't really that cute. It's the truth, people!!! Radley loves to say ours were ugly babies (UB) but I prefer to think he says this for the shock factor (he loves getting people riled up, and that does it)--I certainly thought they were beautiful! Anyway, Christie told us that she'd heard that nurses that work in maternity wards sometimes put "UB" on particular unattractive babies' charts to ward off unkind shocked expressions upon gazing at the little one's giant head or...whatever makes a baby unattractive. I thought this was sad but interesting information worth sharing :) Cerntainly something that would bring up a lot of strong feelings and debate in a crowd of mommies!
