Remember Selfie?
The girl someone posted about a while ago with the pre-baby blog and self-shot photos?
Interesting update... She had her baby. She wore a mostly white dress home from the hospital. She posted a controversial pic of herself posing in said dress while her baby is in the infant carrier screaming.

Re: Remember Selfie?
That picture actually makes me really sad and is really hard for me to look at. That might sound dramatic, but it's true. Taking a picture of myself, let alone trying to pose like a model, while ignoring my crying child, is NOT what I'd be thinking about. I don't care if the baby doesn't like the car seat explanation that some people gave. She shouldn't be ignoring her brand new baby to pose for a camera.
It's super weird that she even took the picture mainly centered on herself.
Also, I get that babies cry and I saw posts on other boards saying that if they waited to take a pic of the baby when it wasn't crying, then it was never happening. I'm just assuming that she took quite a few of these pictures to get the perfect one (with no mesh underwear line) and the baby got more and more pissed off as this was happening. That's the part that irritates me.
That's a lot of assumptions, but that's kind of what we do here on the nest.
Pic has me WTF'ing too. Like the baby is an accessory or something... sad. I think she is anti-pacifier so that makes me feel *slightly* different but really... who needs a pic like that? Someone in the comments said "I want a rear view picture so I can see the crime scene your vagina left on the back of that dress." I was dying.
Oh I know! As if a hospital floor isn't a petri dish of disgustingness, and she's SO worried about her kid getting something or whatever. Dumb.
*just checkd out the post*
I do think she is Grade A cray-zay but the picture? Meh. I think most of it is because people love to hate her (hello, me too!) I mean clearly she's narcissistic and posts lots of self-important modely shots. Because of that, I think she's putting of the baby-as-accessory vibe.
HOWEVER, if that same pic was me leaving our room in my yoga pants and Jane crying...,,I don't think I'd get the same comments. Babies do cry and if that was me I can tell you exactly how it would have gone. DH would have wanted to 'capture' the leaving-the-hospital moment, I would have said OK, quick. Posed, done, and then attended to Jane.
My point, we don't know what happened after the pic. But, her history as a narcissist doesn't help her.
I am fascinated by her. DId you see her follow up post on facebook-she is going to block anyone who posts any kind of critique or negative comment from now on? Hahahahaha.
There are some awesome posts about the hospital pic on PCE, MM, ML, etc.
THough I will say, when we went on our hospital tour, the nurse said that we may want to bring an air mattress cause the fold out bed/chair for DH is super uncomfortable.
I'm impressed if your hospital room actually had space for a blow up mattress. Between my bed, the baby's bassinet and the fold-out chair for DH, there wasn't much room to spare in my hospital room. DH was a trooper and slept on the little chair though.
I was trying to go back to the blog and apparently she hasn't been searched enough that Google auto-fills when I type in Selfie.
It will be interesting to see if now that the blog focuses more on the baby or continues to focus on her.
Our hospital actually has a birthing center which is it's own building, and it has HUGE rooms. They are really suites and you stay there for your entire visit. There is a long corridor that connects to the OR, but no way to get to the birthing center from the hospital. It is really nice, though a bit outdated.
Replace the handcuffs with a carseat, and voila!

Lmao!
Seriously though I agree with Naylon. In fact I know I have a picture holding Molly wrapped up in a ducky towel while she screams bloody murder and I'm smiling and posing because "zomg we have to document her first bath!" It doesn't mean I didn't tend to her needs.
Yeeeeah, I agree. I don't think her husband was like, "Let's take a quick effortless pic while we're leaving to document an important moment!". I believe it was probably pic, after pic, after pic, after pic to get the perfect one (of her, not the baby).
Again, assumptions, but ya know, she puts it out there...
