Despite the stories and baby commercials, it isn't always love at first sight when it comes to your baby. While most parents expect instant lovability from their babies, newborns can take some getting used to.
Face it, some babies are just plain funny-looking at first. They cry when you want them to be quiet and they sleep when you want to show them off. They keep you up at night and for the first six weeks, they don't even give you so much as a smile. It can be hard to love this little person who has completely taken over your life.
The truth is, it can take time to get used to the baby you have. If your baby acts the way you expect or you find that she immediately fits your family style, you'll all fall in love a little faster. Even if you didn't get the baby you thought you ordered, don't worry. As babies age, we get to know them better. Your relationship will grow as you watch your baby, get to know her personality and learn what makes her happy.
