Ugly Duckling

I have a strange worry about my unborn son - that he will be unfortunate enough to look like I did as a baby! Despite being a girl, I was bald until the age of 2 and looked very much like a boy. I couldn't find my favourite baby photo, which is me looking like Les Dawson in a bonnet, so feast your eyes on this one instead.

Yes I do look familiar - I look like Vigo in Ghostbusters 2! My charming husband made that observation but sadly I had to agree with him.
Things did look up slightly as I got a bit older though.

I'm a little bit cuter here with my gorgeous little brother, but sadly, it all went downhill again once I entered my early teens.

Look how happy I am with that bowl haircut and Dame Edna glasses! This photo gets the best reaction from people who have only known me as an adult, they cannot believe I used to look like this - my mum insists I chose both the haircut and the glasses, but I say children should not be allowed to make those decisions.

Fortunately for my son, his father was absolutly beautiful as a baby - I'll share his photos soon. Keep your fingers crossed for the little one!
