It’s likely no one can remember what they were feeling the exact moment they were born, pushed (or pulled!) out of their cozy little home and thrust into the unfamiliar. But thanks to the magic of birth photography, we finally have a sense of what’s going on in babies’ heads when they arrive, and it’s along the lines of what most of us feel when we wake up in the morning: “Do I really have to wake up and face people?”
Just take a look at the evidence!
I Open One Eye at a Time
Lindsey Meehleis
These twins came into the world seven minutes apart, and they’re just getting used to being out and about. Smart little guy does it one eye at a time.
Peeking Out
Danny Tucker
This black-and-white image from Australian ob-gyn Danny Tucker sums up exactly how we feel when we wake up … do we really have to get up now?
Can’t You See I’m Asleep?

Someone is not ready to wake up yet … but that just means more time to gaze adoringly at the cute little creation!
You Can’t Make Me
Angie Peterson/Desire to Inspire Photography
Australian photographer Angie Peterson captioned this one, “Mum, give me milk please, pronto!” Exactly what we look like before coffee!
Don’t Even Dare

This sweet little girl is giving us the “don’t you dare wake me up” look we all give!
It’s Way Too Early for This

It’s a lot of work being born!
I Came Out for This?

Baby is not impressed. We understand, Baby.
Harumph
Esther Edith
This Valentine’s baby was 11 pounds, 14 ounces! Appropriate for birth on the 14th, but not terribly impressed with the earth-side life.
Oh, Come On!
Esther Edith
Someone would rather be hanging out in Mom’s tummy!
Don’t Take That Picture!
Esther Edith
Whoops … someone did it anyway. And thank goodness. The face is too cute too miss!Â
Oh, Alright
Happy Mermaid Images
That look when you finally concede that you must get up.
Oh Man!
Dori Grimard
When you just can’t face the light!
Salute to the Sun
Hello World Birth Support
Sometimes you just have to jump out of bed … or mom’s womb … and go for it!
I’m Awake!
Bethany Klebes Photography
How can you grumble at a face like this?Â
We Totally Understand, Kiddo
Leilani Rogers
Can we all just go back to sleep?
Huh?
Leilani Rogers
Exactly what we were thinking, buddy!Â
I Don’t Wanna!
Renate van Lith Fotografie
Just born and wanting to return to where it’s warm and comfy!
