My son is like the most perfect little guy ever, but he has this super dark red skin tone that hasn't cleared up at all since birth. For one, I'm worried about him, because it can be a sign of health problems (doctor is looking at him right this moment and I am still in the hospital waiting for discharge since he has jaundice), but I'm also envious of all the babies with the perfect little pinkish skin tones that most (Caucasian) babies have. The doctor said yesterday it could take him two months to lose this tomato red and it just makes me sad. I feel like his newborn pictures will look off because his props that I got before I was even pregnant are green, which makes red stand out even more, and newborn photography is extremely important to me (I'm a photo nerd) because I don't want to miss this little stage. I really just hope he is okay and doesn't need the crazy medical stuff that the skin color suggests, but I can't help but feel sad when I see how red he looks compared to other babies. It just looks painful!
