It's one thing when the parents say it, but it's a whole nother thing when everyone says it. People tell us all the time...actually, we hear it all the time, "....that is the most beautiful or prettiest baby that I've ever seen!"
The day Gianna was born, that first 24 hours, a nurse, which was actually a friend of mine came into the room, as I was burping Gianna on the side of the bed and said, "can I see her?" and I said, "Yeah." And she bent down and took a look at her and said, "Chemeeka, she's beautiful." I said, "I know." She continued..."no, I mean, like stunningly beautiful." And I said, "I know." Believe you me, I was shocked that she was actually so beautiful! But, given the benefit of the doubt that just maybe she was saying it because she was my friend, when we moved to North Carolina when Gianna was only 9 weeks old, we'd hear it all the time. "Oh my gosh, she's beautiful!" "She's gorgeous", "That is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen." Well....speed ahead three and a half years later. I'm in Harris Teeter, not around friends. "Excuse me, I don't normally do this but I have to tell you..."you have BEAUTIFUL children." "You're baby is absolutely gorgeous". I'm thankful to God that we have been blessed with these two wonderfully beautiful, gorgeous little girls. I never thought that I would be. This is my second time around, hearing it constantly, from people that I don't know, who have never met me, and have nothing to prove.... And I can't say that I disagree:-)!
